1.1 WARNING, CAUTION and NOTES
This Section contains various W ARNINGS, CAUTIONS and NOTE statements that you must observe carefully to reduce
the risk of death or injury during service, repair procedures or vehicle operation. Incorrect service or repair procedures
may damage the vehicle or cause operational faults. W ARNINGS, CAUTION and NOTE statements are not exhaustive.
GM HOLDEN LTD can not possibly warn of all the potentially hazardous consequences of failure to follow these
instructions.
Definition of WARNING, CAUTION and NOTE Statements
Diagnosis and repair procedures in this Section contain both general and specific W ARNING, CAUTION and NOTE
statements. GM HOLDEN LTD is dedicated to the presentation of service information that helps the technician to
diagnose and repair the systems necessary for proper operation of the vehicle. Certain procedures may present a hazard
to the technician if they are not followed in the recommended manner. W ARNING, CAUTION and NOTE statements are
designed to help prevent these hazards from occurring, but not all hazards can be foreseen.
WARNING defined
A W ARNING statement immediately precedes an operating procedure or maintenance practice which, if not correctly
followed, could result in death or injury. A W ARNING statement alerts you to take necessary action or not to take a
prohibited action. If a W ARNING statement is ignored, the following consequences may occur:
• Death or injury to the technician or other personnel working on the vehicle,
• Death or injury to other people in or near the workplace area, and / or
• Death or injury to the driver / or passenger(s) of the vehicle or other people, if the vehicle has been improperly
repaired.
CAUTION defined
A CAUTION statement immediately precedes an operating procedure or maintenance practice which, if not correctly
followed, could result in damage to or destruction of equipment, or corruption of data. If a CAUTION statement is ignored,
the following consequences may occur:
• Damage to the vehicle,
• Unnecessary vehicle repairs or component replacement,
• Faulty operation or performance of any system or component being repaired,
• Damage to any system or components which depend on the proper operation of the system or component being
repaired,
• Faulty operation or performance of any systems or components which depend on the proper operation or
performance of the system or component under repair,
• Damage to fasteners, basic tools or special tools and / or
• Leakage of coolant, lubricant or other vital fluids.
NOTE defined
A NOTE statement immediately precedes or follows an operating procedure, maintenance practice or condition that
requires highlighting. A NOTE statement also emphasises necessary characteristics of a diagnostic or repair procedure.
A NOTE statement is designed to:

A small amount of fuel may be released when
connecting the fuel pressure gauge to the fuel
pressure test point. Cover the fittings with a
shop towel to absorb any fuel spillage before
connecting the fuel pressure gauge. After the
fuel pressure test procedure, place the soiled
towel in an approved container for disposal.
3 At the fuel pressure test point, remove the Schrader valve sealing cap.
4 Connect the fuel pressure gauge (1) (tool No. J 34730–1A) to the fuel gauge Schrader fitting
adapter (2) (tool No. AU453), then install to the fuel
pressure test port (3). W rap a shop towel around the
fitting while connecting the fuel pressure gauge to
avoid and/or capture any fuel spillage.
5 Route the bleed hose of the fuel gauge into an approved fuel container.


Figure 6C – 5

After connecting the fuel pressure gauge and
pressurising the fuel system, inspect for fuel
leaks at the fuel pressure gauge and the fuel
pressure test point.
6 Either: Using Tech 2, enable the fuel pump to pressurise the fuel system, refer to 0C Tech 2. Inspect for fuel leaks at the
fuel pressure gauge and fuel pressure test point, then bleed the air from the fuel pressure gauge.
or: Reinstall the fuel pump relay and fuel pump fuse, then open the fuel gauge bleed valve (4) to bleed the air from the
fuel pressure gauge, refer to Figure 6C – 5.
7 Remove and place the soiled shop towel in an approved container.
Test
1 Start the engine and record the fuel pressure.
2 Turn the ignition switch off.
3 If required, perform any tests and/or diagnostic procedures:
• For the fuel system leak test, refer to 3.3 Fuel Leak Test.
• For the fuel injector leak-down test (for vehicles fitted with a V6 engine, refer to 6C1-3 Engine Management –
V6 – Service Operations.
4 Depressurise the fuel system, refer to 3.4 Fuel System Depressurisation.

After relieving the fuel system pressure, a
small amount of fuel may be released when
servicing the fuel lines or connections. Cover
the fittings with a shop towel before
disconnecting. This catches any leaking fuel.
Place the soiled towel in an approved
container when disconnection is completed.
3 W rap a shop towel around the fuel pressure test point to absorb any fuel spillage.
4 Remove the fuel pressure gauge and drain any fuel remaining in the fuel pressure gauge into an approved fuel container.
5 Remove the soiled shop towel and place in an approved container.
6 Repressurise the fuel system, refer to 3.4 Fuel System Depressurisation.
7 Road-test the vehicle and check for correct operation.
3.3 Fuel Leak Test

After installing any fuel system component
and before starting the engine, check the fuel
system for leaks.
NOTE
For the fuel injector leak-down test (for vehicles
fitted with a V6 engine), refer to 6C1-3 Engine
Management – V6 – Service Operations.
1 Turn the ignition switch on for two seconds.
2 Turn the ignition switch off for 10 seconds.
3 Turn the ignition switch on.
4 Check for fuel leaks, particularly at points marked z (that is, quick-connect fittings, fuel rails, fuel injectors,
Schrader valve and evaporative emission control canister purge solenoid, refer to Figure 6C – 6.

5 Replace any faulty components and repeat step 2 to step 5 inclusive.
6 Replace all engine components removed to perform the fuel leak test, refer to 6C1-3 Engine Management – V6 – Service Operations.
3.4 Fuel System Depressurisation

To reduce the risk of fire or personal injury,
depressurise the fuel system before servicing
any fuel system components.
1 Turn the ignition switch off.
2 Remove the fuel pump fuse and fuel pump relay, refer to 8A Electrical Body and Chassis.
3 Loosen the fuel filler cap to relieve the fuel tank vapour pressure.
4 W ith the throttle closed, crank the engine.
NOTE
The engine may start and operate until the fuel
remaining in the fuel delivery system depletes.
5 W hen the engine stops, crank the engine for another 10 seconds to ensure the fuel feed line pressure has been fully relieved.
6 Clean the area around the fuel pressure test point.

Remove

• A depressurised fuel system contains fuel
in the fuel filter and fuel lines that can be
spilled during service operations.
• Fuel vapour remains in the fuel tank even
when completely empty. Seal all openings
in the fuel tank using suitable material or a
plastic plug. Ensure no naked flames or
other ignition sources are nearby. Ensure
all cellular phones (and transmission
devices that may cause any metal objects
to become unintentional receiving
antennas) are switched off.
• Place a dry chemical (Class B) fire
extinguisher nearby before performing any
on-vehicle service procedures. Failure to
follow these precautions may result in
personal injury.
1 Remove the fuel pump relay, refer to 8A Electrical Body and Chassis.
2 Depressurise the fuel system, refer to 3.4 Fuel System Depressurisation.

Never drain or store fuel into an open
container, due to the possibility of fire or
