NONRETURN VALVE INSPECTIONA6E401242270201
Note
•Nonreturn valve is integrated in the fuel tank. Therefore, before inspecting the nonreturn valve perform the
follwing:
1. Remove the fuel gauge sender unit. (See F2–45 FUEL TANK REMOVAL/INSTALLATION.)

Note
•The nonreturn valve is normally closed by the spring force.
3. Verify that the nonreturn valve is closed.
•If it is stuck open, replace the fuel tank.
4. Verify that the nonreturn valve opens when pulled up by a finger.
•If it does not open, replace the nonreturn valve.

1. Remove the fuel warmer. (See F2–51 FUEL FILTER COMPONENT DISASSEMBLY/ASSEMBLY.)
2. Verify that the resistance between terminal A and
the fuel warmer body is within the specification
when vacuum of –31.3— –38.0 kPa {–235— –
285 mmHg, –9.2— –11.2 inHg} is applied to port
A of the fuel warmer.
•If as specified, carry out the “Circuit Open/
Short Inspection”.
•If not as specified, replace the fuel warmer.
Specification
Circuit Open/Short Inspection
1. Inspect for open/short circuit in the following
wiring harnesses.
•If there is open/short circuit, repair or replace
wiring harnesses.
Open circuit
•If there is no continuity, the circuit is open. Repair
or replace the harness.
—Fuel warmer terminal A (harness-side) and

Warning
The following troubleshooting flow chart contains the fuel system diagnosis and repair
procedures. Read the following warnings before performing the fuel system services:
•Fuel vapor is hazardous. It can easily ignite, causing serious injury and damage. Always keep
sparks and flames away from fuel.
•Fuel line spills and leakage are dangerous. Fuel can ignite and cause serious injury or death
and damage. Fuel can also irritate skin and eyes. To prevent this, always complete “BEFORE
REPAIR PROCEDURE” and “AFTER REPAIR PROCEDURE” described in this manual.
STEP INSPECTION RESULTS ACTION
1 Inspect for following:
•Fuel quality (e.g.: include water
contamination, winter/summer blend)
•Fuel line/fuel filter clogging
•Intake-air system restriction
Are all items okay?Yes Go to next step.
No Service as necessary.
Repeat Step 1.
2 Is engine overheating? Yes Go to symptom troubleshooting “NO.17 COOLING
SYSTEM CONCERNS-OVERHEATING”.
No Go to next step.
3 Connect WDS or equivalent to DLC-2.
Turn engine switch to ON.
Retrieve any DTC.
Is DTC displayed?YesDTC is displayed:
Go to appropriate DTC test.
Communication error message is displayed:
