Service Precaution
When working on the fuel system, there are several
things to keep in mind:
Any time the fuel system is being worked on,
disconnect the negative battery cable except
for those tests where battery voltage is
required.
Always keep a dry chemical (Class B) fire
extinguisher near the work area.
Replace all pipes with the same pipe and
fittings that were removed.
Clean and inspect “O" rings. Replace i
f
required.
Always relieve the line pressure before
servicing any fuel system components.
Do not attempt repairs on the fuel system until
you have read the instructions and checked
the pictures relating to that repair.
Adhere to all Notices and Cautions.
All gasoline engines are designed to use only
unleaded gasoline. Unleaded gasoline must be
used for proper emission control system operation.
Its use will also minimize spark plug fouling and
extend engine oil life. Using leaded gasoline can
damage the emission control system and could
result in loss of emission warranty coverage.
All cars are equipped with an Evaporative Emission
Control System. The purpose of the system is to
minimize the escape of fuel vapors to the
atmosphere.

Fuel Pump Flow Test
If reduction of fuel supply is suspected, perform the
following checks.
1. Make sure that there is fuel in the tank.
2. With the engine running, check the fuel feed pipe
and hose from fuel tank to injector for evidence o
f
leakage. Retighten, if pipe or hose connection is
loose. Also, check pipes and hoses for squashing
or clogging.
3. Insert the hose from fuel feed pipe into a clean
container, and check for fuel pump flow rate.
4. Connect the pump relay terminals (2) with a
jumper wire (1) as shown and start the fuel pump
to measure delivery.
RTW36CSH000201
CAUTION: Never generate sparks when connecting
a jumper wire.
Delivery Delivery
15 seconds 0.38 liters minimum
If the measure value is out of standard, conduct the
pressure test.
Pressure test
For the pressure test to the fuel system, see Section 6E
“Fuel Control System".

Fuel Pump Relay
General Description
In order to control the fuel pump and sender assembly
(FPAS) operation, the FPAS relay is provided. When
the starter switch is turned to “ON" position, the FPAS
relay operates the FPAS for 2 seconds.
When it is turned to “START" position, the Engine
Control Module receives the reference pulse from the
Ignition Control Module and it operates the relay, again
causing the FPAS to feed fuel.
6D3-2 STARTING AND CHARGING SYSTEM (6VE1 3.5L)
Starting System
General Description
Cranking Circuit
The cranking system consists of a battery, starter,
starter switch, starter relay, etc. These main
components are connected.
Starter
The cranking system employs a magnetic type
reduction starter in which the motor shaft is also used
as a pinion shaft. When the starter switch is turned on,
the contacts of magnetic switch are closed, and the
armature rotates. At the same time, the plunger is
attracted, and the pinion is pushed forward by the shif
t
lever to mesh with the ring gear.
Then, the ring gear runs to start the engine. When the
engine starts and the starter switch is turned off, the
plunger returns, the pinion is disengaged from the ring
gear, and the armature stops rotation. When the engine
speed is higher than the pinion, the pinion idles, so tha
t
the armature is not driven.
