(d) Check that there are no fuel leaks after performing main-
tenance anywhere on the fuel system.
(1) Connect the TOYOTA hand−held tester to the
DLC3.
(2) Turn the ignition switch ON and TOYOTA hand−
held tester main switch ON.
NOTICE:
Do not start the engine.
(3) Select the active test mode on the TOYOTA hand−
held tester.
(4) Please refer to the TOYOTA hand−held tester oper-
ator ’s manual for further details.
(5) If you have no TOYOTA hand−held tester, connect
the positive (+) and negative (−) leads from the bat-
tery to the fuel pump connector (See page
SF−5).
(6) Pinch the fuel inlet hose.
The pressure in the high pressure line will rise to
approx. 400 kPa (4 kgf/cm
2, 57 psi). In this state,
check that there are no leaks from any part of the
fuel system.
NOTICE:
Always pinch the hose. Avoid bending as it may cause the
hose to crack.
(7) Turn the ignition switch to LOCK.
(8) Disconnect the TOYOTA hand−held tester from the
DLC3.
(9) Start the engine.
NOTICE:
Keep cranking the engine until the air is removed from the

manual for further details.
(e) If you have no TOYOTA hand−held tester, connect the
positive (+) and negative (−) leads from the battery to the
fuel pump connector (See page SF−5).
(f) Check that there is pressure in the fuel inlet hose from the
fuel filter.
HINT:
If there is fuel pressure, you will hear the sound of fuel flowing.
If there is no pressure, check the H−fuse, fuses, EFI main relay,
circuit opening relay, fuel pump, ECM and wiring connections.
(g) Turn the ignition switch to LOCK.
(h) Disconnect the TOYOTA hand−held tester from the
DLC3.
2. CHECK FUEL PRESSURE
(a) Check the battery positive voltage is above 12 V.
(b) Disconnect the negative (−) terminal cable from the bat-
tery.
(c) Remove the air cleaner assembly (See page ST−4).
(d) Remove the 2 bolts, and disconnect the engine comport-
ment R/B No.2 from the bracket on the body.
(e) Remove the union bolt and 2 gaskets, and disconnect the
fuel inlet hose from the fuel filter outlet.
CAUTION:
Put a shop towel under the fuel filter. Slowly loosen the
union bolt.

(g) Wipe off any splattered gasoline.
(h) Connect the TOYOTA hand−held tester to the DLC3.
(i) Reconnect the negative (−) terminal cable to the battery.
(j) Turn the ignition switch ON.
(k) Measure the fuel pressure.
Fuel pressure:
301 − 347 kPa (3.1 − 3.5 kgf/cm
2, 44 − 50 psi)
If pressure is high, replace the fuel pressure regulator.
If pressure is low, check these parts:
Fuel hoses and connections
Fuel pump
Fuel filter
Fuel pressure regulator
(l) Remove the TOYOTA hand−held tester from the DLC3.
(m) Start the engine.
(n) Measure the fuel pressure at idle.
Fuel pressure:
301 − 347 kPa (3.1 − 3.5 kgf/cm
2, 44 − 50 psi)
(o) Stop the engine.
(p) Check that the fuel pressure remains as specified for 5
minutes after the engine has stopped.
Fuel pressure:
147 kPa (1.5 kgf/cm
2, 21 psi) or more
If pressure is not as specified, check the fuel pump, pressure
regulator and/or injectors.
(q) After checking fuel pressure, disconnect the negative (−)
terminal cable from the battery and carefully remove the
SST to prevent gasoline from splashing.

(c) Disconnect the fuel pump and sender gauge connector.
(d) Inspect the fuel pump resistance.
Using an ohmmeter, measure the resistance between ter-
minals 4 and 5.
Resistance: At 20°C (68°F): 0.2 − 3.0 Ω
If the resistance is not as specified, replace the fuel pump.
(e) Inspect the fuel pump operation.
Connect the positive (+) lead from the battery to terminal
4 of the connector, and the negative (−) lead to terminal
5. Check that the fuel pump operates.
NOTICE:
These tests must be done quickly (within 10 seconds) to
prevent the coil burning out. Keep the fuel pump as far
away from the battery as possible. Always do the switching
at the battery side.
If operation is not as specified, replace the fuel pump or lead
wire.
(f) Reconnect the fuel pump and sender gauge connector.
(g) Reinstall the floor service hole cover.
