    3. Temporarily install SST (union) to the fuel main tube.

      SST 09268-41047 (09268-52011)

    4. Tighten the flare nut on the fuel main tube. (See SFI SYSTEM )
    5. Connect SST (hose) to the SST (union).

    8. Put the injector into the graduated cylinder.
      CAUTION: Install a suitable vinyl hose onto the injector to prevent gasoline from splashing out.
    9. Connect a LEXUS hand-held tester to the DLC3

    10. Connect the battery negative (-) cable to the battery.
    11. Turn the ignition switch ON, and push the LEXUS hand held tester main switch ON.
      NOTE: Do not start the engine.
    12. Select the active test mode on the LEXUS hand-held tester.
    13. Please refer to the LEXUS hand-held tester operator's manual for further details.
    14. If you have no LEXUS hand-held tester, connect the positive (+) and negative (-) leads from the battery to the fuel pump connector. (See FUEL PUMP )
    15. Connect SST (wire) to the injector and battery for 15 seconds, and measure the injection volume with a graduated cylinder. Test each injector 2 or 3 times.

      SST 09842-30070

      Volume: 60 - 73 cm 3  (3.7 - 4.5 cu in.) per 15 seconds Difference between each injector: 

      13 cm 3  (0.8 cu in.) or less 

      If the injection volume is not as specified, replace the injector.

  2. INSPECT LEAKAGE 
    1. In the condition above, disconnect the tester probes of SST (wire) from the battery and check the fuel leakage from the injector.

      SST 09842-30070

      Fuel drop: 1 drop or less per 12 minutes

    2. Turn the ignition switch OFF.
    3. Disconnect the negative (-) terminal cable from the battery.
    4. Remove the SST.
