(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.
(h) Reinstall the LH rear seat assembly.

INSPECTION
1. INSPECT INJECTOR INJECTION
CAUTION:
Keep injector clear of sparks during the test.
(a) Connect SST (union and hose) to the fuel filter outlet with
the 2 gaskets and union bolt.
SST 09268−41046 (90405−09015)
Torque: 29 N·m (300 kgf·cm, 22 ft·lbf)
HINT:
Use the vehicle’s fuel filter.
(b) Install the grommet and O−ring to the injector.
(c) Connect SST (union and hose) to the injector, and hold
the injector and union with SST (clamp).
SST 09268−41046
(d) Put the injector into a graduated cylinder.
HINT:
Install a suitable vinyl hose onto the injector to prevent gasoline
from splashing out.
(e) Connect the TOYOTA hand−held tester to the DLC3.
(f) Turn the ignition switch ON and TOYOTA hand−held tes-
ter main switch ON.
NOTICE:
Do not start the engine.
(g) Select the active test mode on the TOYOTA hand−held
tester.
(h) Please refer to the TOYOTA hand−held tester operator’s
manual for further details.
(i) 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).

(j) Connect SST (wire) to the injector and battery for 15 se-
conds, and measure the injection volume with a gra-
duated cylinder. Test each injector 2 or 3 times.
SST 09842−30070
Volume:

Difference between each injector:
5 cm
3 (0.8 cu in.) or less
If the injection volume is not as specified, replace the injector.
2. INSPECT LEAKAGE
(a) In the condition above, disconnect the test probes of SST
(wire) from the battery and check the fuel leakage from
the injector.
SST 09842−30070
Fuel drop:
One drop or less per minute
(b) Turn the ignition switch to LOCK.
(c) Disconnect the negative (−) terminal cable from the bat-
tery.
(d) Remove the SST.
SST 09268−41046, 09842−30070
(e) Disconnect the TOYOTA hand−held tester from the
DLC3.
