FUEL PRESSURE
Fuel Pressure CheckINFOID:0000000001351336
FUEL PRESSURE RELEASE
With CONSULT-IIl
1. Turn ignition switch ON.
2. Perform “FUEL PRESSURE RELEASE” in
“WORK SUPPORT” mode with CONSULT-IIl.
3. Start engine.
4. After engine stalls, crank it two or three times to release all fuel pressure.
5. Turn ignition switch OFF.
Without CONSULT-IIl
1. Remove fuel pump fuse located in IPDM E/R.
2. Start engine.
3. After engine stalls, crank it two or three times to release all fuel pressure.
4. Turn ignition switch OFF.
5. Reinstall fuel pump fuse after servicing fuel system.
FUEL PRESSURE CHECK
CAUTION:
• Before disconnecting fuel line, release fuel pr essure from fuel line to eliminate danger.
• Be careful not to scratch or get the fuel hose connection area dirty wh en servicing, so that the quick
connector o-ring ma intains sealability.
• Use Fuel Pressure Gauge Kit J-44321 and Fuel Pr essure Adapter J-44321-6 to check fuel pressure.
• Do not perform fuel pressure check with electrical system operating (i.e. lights, rear defog, A/C, etc.).
Fuel pressure gauge may indicate false readings du e to varying engine loads and changes in mani-
fold vacuum.
NOTE:
Prepare pans or saucers under the disconnected fuel line because the fuel may spill out. The fuel pres-
sure cannot be completely released because JA60 models do not have fuel return system.
1. Release fuel pressure to zero. Refer to "FUEL PRESSURE RELEASE".
2. Remove engine cover.
3. Remove fuel hose using Quick Connector Release J-45488. Refer to EM-26
.
• Do not twist or kink fuel hose because it is plastic hose.
• Do not remove fuel hose from quick connector.
• Keep fuel hose connections clean.
4. Install Fuel Pressure Adapter J-44321-6 and Fuel Pressure Gauge (from kit J-44321) as shown in figure.
• Do not distort or bend fuel rail tube when installing fuel pres-sure gauge adapter.
• When reconnecting fuel hose, check the original fuel hose for damage and abnormality.
5. Turn ignition switch ON (reactivate fuel pump), and check for fuel leakage.
6. Start engine and check for fuel leakage.
7. Read the indication of fuel pressure gauge. • During fuel pressure check, check for fuel leakage from fuelconnection every 3 minutes.

FRONT FOG LAMP
System DiagramINFOID:0000000001547106
System DescriptionINFOID:0000000001547107
The front fog lamps are activated with the lighting switch (combination switch). The lighting switch signal to
the BCM is monitored with the BCM combination switch reading function. When the fog lamps are turned ON
with the lighting switch, the BCM sends a front fog lamp request signal via CAN communication lines to the
IPDM E/R. The IPDM E/R grounds the front fog la mp relay coil to activate the front fog lamps.
Component Parts LocationINFOID:0000000001547108
Component DescriptionINFOID:0000000001547109
FRONT FOG LAMP OPERATION
When the lighting switch is in front fog lamp ON posit ion and also in 1ST or 2ND position or AUTO position
(headlamp is ON), the BCM detects FR FOG ON and t he HEAD LAMP1, 2 ON or the AUTO LIGHT ON. The
BCM sends a front fog lamp request ON signal via the CAN communication lines to the IPDM E/R. The IPDM
E/R then turns ON the front fog lamp re lay sending power to the front fog lamps.
COMBINATION SWITCH READING FUNCTION
Refer to BCS-7, "System Description".
