Check Power Balance
NOTE:
This test is to find out that possible cause of the problem is error in specific cylinder or fuel system.
Warm up the engine to normal operating temperature for getting a reliable result.
Warm up the engine to normal operating temperature for getting a reliable result.
CAUTION:
Pull up the parking brake and shift the gear into "P" position before the test.
- Warm up the engine and maintain idle state.
- Using GDS, select engine rpm parameter in sensor display window and injector in actuation test window together as follow figure.
- Recode engine rpm at a time when injector stops working after press "Start" button in actuation test window.
- Repeat above test on all cylinders.
Specification: The deviation of the engine rpm between each cylinder should be same.
- Does each cylinder show the similar engine rpm?
YES
- Go to next procedure.
NO
- If there is no change in engine rpm when injector stops working, it might be caused by fuel or ignition system error.
- If engine rpm drops over 200 rpm in power balance test, check engine internal damage by testing compression pressure with pressure gauge.
