Fuel System – V6 Page 6C – 8

3 System Checks
3.1 Fuel Pump Flow Test
If a reduction of the fuel supply is suspected, perform the following checks.
1 Ensure there is sufficient fuel in the tank.
2 W ith the engine running, check the fuel lines from the fuel tank to the injectors for evidence of leakage.
Retighten, if the lines or the connections are loose.
Also, check the fuel lines for restrictions such as
squashed or clogged fuel line.
3 Depressurize the fuel system, refer to 3.4 Fuel System Depressurisation.
4 Disconnect the fuel line at the fuel rail.
5 Connect a hose from the fuel line and place the open end into a clean container.
6 Connect the fuel pump relay terminals (2) with a jumper wire (1) as shown, then turn the ignition to the
ON position to operate the fuel pump, then check the
fuel pump flow rate.

Do not generate any sparks when connecting
the jumper wire.
Fuel delivery test time ....................................... 15.0 Sec
Fuel delivery rate .....................................0.38 Litres Min
NOTE
If the fuel flow rate is below the minimum value,
conduct a fuel pressure test, refer to 3.2
Fuel Pressure Test.
Figure 6C – 4

3.2 Fuel Pressure Test

To reduce the risk of fire or personal injury,
depressurise the fuel system before servicing
any fuel system components, refer to 3.4
Fuel System Depressurisation.
Gauge Installation
1 Turn the ignition switch off.
2 Depressurise the fuel system, refer to 3.4 Fuel System Depressurisation.

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.
Removal
1 Turn the ignition switch off.
2 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.
