ON-VEHICLE INSPECTION
1. CHECK FUEL PRESSURE
(a) Discharge the fuel pressure and take precautions against
possible fuel spillage (see page 11-1).
(b) Check that tha battery voltage is above 12 V.
(c) Disconnect the engine wire No. 3 (battery negative termi-
nal).
(d) Pull out the fuel tube connector from a new fuel tube.
HINT:
Part No. 23801-20190
(e) Remove the fuel pipe clamp.
(f) Disconnect the quick connector from the fuel pipe by
pinching portion A with your fingers as shown in the il-
lustration.
CAUTION:
After taking the precautions, disconnect the quick
connector.
As pressure remains in the fuel line, prevent it from
splashing inside the engine compartment.

(g) Install SST (a pressure gauge) and fuel tube connector
using SST as shown in the illustration.
SST 09268-41047 (95336-08070), 09268-45014
(09268-41250, 09268-41200, 09268-41220)
(h) Wipe up any gasoline.
(i) Reconnect the engine wire No. 3 (battery negative termi-
nal).
(j) Connect the hand-hand tester to the DLC3.
(k) Measure the fuel pressure.
Fuel pressure:
304 to 343 kPa (3.1 to 3.5 kgf/cm
2, 44 to 50 psi)
If the pressure is high, replace the fuel pressure regulator.
If the pressure is low, check the fuel hose connections, fuel
pump, fuel filter and fuel pressure regulator.
(l) Disconnect the hand-held tester from the DLC3.
(m) Start the engine.
(n) Measure the fuel pressure at idle.
Fuel pressure:
304 to 343 kPa (3.1 to 3.5 kgf/cm
2, 44 to 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 the pressure is not as specified, check the fuel pump, pres-
sure regulator and/or fuel injectors.
(q) After checking the fuel pressure, disconnect the battery
negative terminal and carefully remove SST and the fuel
tube connector to prevent gasoline splash.
(r) Reconnect the No. 1 fuel pipe (the fuel tube connector).
CAUTION:
After taking the precautions, connect the quick connector.

2. CHECK FUEL PUMP OPERATION AND FUEL LEAK
(a) When using the hand-held tester.
(1) Connect the hand-held tester to the DLC3.
(2) Turn the ignition switch ON and the hand-held tes-
ter ON.
NOTICE:
Do not start the engine.
(3) Select the ACTIVE TEST mode on the hand-held
tester.
(4) If you need help to select the ACTIVE TEST mode
on the hand-held tester, refer to the hand-held tes-
ter operator's manual.
(b) When not using the hand-held tester.
(1) Remove the circuit opening relay.
(2) Using a service wire, connect terminals FP and +B
of the engine room relay block.
NOTICE:
Pay due attention to the terminal connecting position to
avoid a malfunction.
(3) Turn the ignition switch ON, and check that the fuel
pump operates.
NOTICE:
Do not start the engine.
(c) Check that there are no fuel leaks after doing mainte-
nance anywhere on the fuel system.

INSPECTION
1. INSPECT FUEL INJECTOR ASSY
(a) Inspect the resistance.
(1) Using an ohmmeter, measure the resistance be-
tween the terminals.
Standard:
Tester ConnectionSpecified Condition
1 - 213.4 to 14.2 W at 20C (68F)
If the resistance is not as specified, replace the fuel injector.
(b) Check the operation.
CAUTION:
This test involves high-pressure fuel and electricity.
Keep the injector free of sparks during the test.
Take every precaution regarding safe handling of
both the fuel and electricity.
Perform this test in a safe area, and avoid any sparks
or flame.
Do not smoke.
(1) Pull out the fuel tube connector from a new fuel
tube.
HINT:
Part No. 23801 - 20190
(2) Connect SST and the fuel tube connector to the fuel
pipe.
SST 09268-41047 (95336-08070)
CAUTION:
After taking the precautions, connect the quick connector.
(3) Install the grommet and O-ring to the fuel injector.
(4) Connect SST (a union and hose) to the fuel injector,
then hold the fuel injector and union with SST (a
clamp).
SST 09268- 41047 (09268- 41110, 09268- 41300,
95336-08070)
(5) Put the fuel injector into a graduated cylinder.
HINT:
Install a suitable vinyl tube to the fuel injector to contain the gas-
oline spray.

(6) Operate the fuel pump (see page 11-5).
(7) Connect SST (a wire) to the
fuel injector and battery
for 15 seconds, then measure the injection volume
with the graduated cylinder. Test each fuel injector
2 or 3 times.
SST 09842-30070
Standard:
Injection VolumeDifference between Cylenders
60 to 73 cm3
(3.7 to 4.5 cu in.)
per 15 seconds13 cm3 (0.8 cu in.) or less
NOTICE:
Always do the switching at the battery side.
If the injection volume is not as specified, replace the fuel injec-
tor.
(c) Inspect the leakage.
(1) In the condition of step (7), disconnect the test
probes of SST (a wire) from the battery, then check
the fuel leakage from the fuel injector.
Fuel drop: 1 drop or less per 12 minutes
If the fuel drop is not as specified, replace the fuel injector.
2. INSPECT FUEL PUMP
(a) Inspect the resistance.
(1) Using an ohmmeter, measure the resistance be-
tween the terminals.
Standard:
Tester ConnectionSpecified Condition
1 - 20.2 to 3.0 W at 20C (68F)
If the resistance is not as specified, replace the fuel pump.
(b) Check the operation.
(1) Apply battery positive voltage across the terminals.
(2) Check that the fuel pump operates.
NOTICE:
These tests must be performed quickly (within 10 se-
conds) to prevent burnout of the coil.
Keep the fuel pump as far away from the battery as
possible.
Always do the switching at the battery side.
If the operation is not as specified, replace the fuel pump.
