FUEL PUMP CONNECTOR DISCONNECTION
(HOW TO REDUCE THE FUEL PRESSURE)
When removing the fuel pipe, hose, etc., since fuel pressure
in the fuel pipe line is high, do the following operation so
as to release the fuel pressure in the line and prevent fuel
from running out.
1. Remove the rear seat assembly. (Refer to GROUP 52A.)
2. Remove the protector.
3. Disconnect the fuel pump module connector.
4. After starting the engine and letting it run until it stops
naturally, turn the ignition switch to “LOOK” (OFF) position.
5. Connect the fuel pump module connector.
6. Install the protector and rear seat assembly.
(Refer to GROUP 52A.)
FUEL PUMP OPERATION CHECK
1. Check the operation of the fuel pump by using the MUT-II
to force-drive the fuel pump.
2. If the fuel pump will not operate, check by using the
following procedure, and if it is normal, check the drive
circuit.
(1) Turn the ignition switch to “LOOK” (OFF) position.
(2) Remove the rear seat assembly. (Refer to GROUP
52A.)
(3) Remove the protector.
(4) Disconnect the fuel pump module connector.
(5) When the fuel pump drive connector is attached
directly to the battery, check if the sound of the fuel
pump operation can be heard.
NOTE
As the fuel pump is an in-tank type, the fuel pump
sound is hard to hear, so remove the fuel filler cap
and check from the tank inlet.
(6) Check the fuel pressure by pinching the fuel hose
with the fingertips.
(7) Connect the fuel pump module connector.
(8) Install the protector and rear seat assembly. (Refer
to GROUP 52A.)

(1) Install the fuel pressure gauge on the special tool
(for measuring the fuel pressure) putting a suitable
O-ring or gasket between them.
(2) Install the special tool which was set up in step (1)
between the high-pressure fuel hose and the delivery
pipe.
5. Connect the MUT-IIto the diagnosis connector.
6. Turn the ignition switch to “ON” position. (But do not start
the engine.)
7. Select “Item No. 07” from the MUT-IIActuator test to
drive the fuel pump. Check that there are no fuel leaks
from any parts.
8. Finish the actuator test or turn the ignition switch to “LOCK”
(OFF) position.
9. Start the engine and run at idle.
10. Measure fuel pressure while the engine is running at
idle.
Standard value: Approximately 230 kPa at cerb idle
11. Disconnect the vacuum hose from the fuel pressure
regulator and measure fuel pressure with the hose end
closed by a finger.
Standard value: 289 - 309 kPa at cerb idle
12. Check to see that fuel pressure at idle does not drop
even after the engine has been raced several times.
13. Racing the engine repeatedly, hold the fuel return hose
lightly with fingers to feel that fuel pressure is present
in the return hose.
NOTE
If the fuel flow rate is low, there will be no fuel pressure
in the return hose.Fuel pressure gauge set

14. If any of fuel pressure measured in steps 10 to 13 is out of
specification, troubleshoot and repair according to the
table below.

15. Stop the engine and check change of fuel pressure gauge
reading. Normal if the reading does not drop within 2
minutes. If it does, observe the rate of drop and
troubleshoot and repair according to the table below.
SymptomProbable causeRemedy
Fuel pressure drops gradually after
engineisstopped
Leaky injectorReplace injector

Leaky fuel regulator valve seatReplace fuel pressure regulator
Fuel pressure drops sharply

16. Release residual pressure from the fuel pipe line.
(Refer to P.13A-125.)
17. Remove the fuel pressure gauge and special tool from
the delivery pipe.
Caution
Cover the hose connection with rags to prevent splash
of fuel that could be caused by some residual pressure
in the fuel pipe line.
18. Replace the O-ring at the end of the fuel high pressure
hose with a new one. Furthermore, apply engine oil to
the new O-ring before replacement.
19. Fit the fuel high pressure hose over the delivery pipe
and tighten the bolt to specified torque.
Tightening torque: 5.0±1.0 N·m
20. Check for any fuel leaks by following the procedure in
step 7.
21. Disconnect the MUT-II.

4. Connect the MUT-IIto the diagnosis connector.
5. Turn the ignition switch to “ON” position. (But do not start
the engine.)
6. Select “Item No. 07” from the MUT-IIActuator test to
drive the fuel pump.
7. Activate the injector and check the atomized spray
condition of the fuel.
The condition can be considered satisfactory unless it
is extremely poor.
8. Stop the actuation of the injector, and check for leakage
from the injector’s nozzle.
Standard value: 1 drop or less per minute
9. Activate the injector without activating the fuel pump; then,
when the spray emission of fuel from the injector stops,
disconnect the special tool and restore it to its original
condition.
10. Disconnect the MUT-II.

Checking the Operation Sound
1. Check that the engine coolant temperature is 20_Cor
below.
NOTE
Disconnecting the engine coolant temperature sensor
connector and connecting the harness-side of the
connector to another engine coolant temperature sensor
that is at 20_C or below is also okay.
2. Check that the operation sound of the stepper motor
can be heard after the ignition is switched “ON” position.
(but without starting the engine.)
3. If the operation sound cannot be heard, check the stepper
motor’s activation circuit.
If the circuit is normal, it is probable that there is a
malfunction of the stepper motor or of the engine-ECU.
