On-Vehicle Inspection [09/2015 - ]: Procedure

  1. CHECK FUEL PUMP OPERATION AND FOR FUEL LEAK 
    1. Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
    2. Turn the engine switch on (IG).
      NOTE:

      Do not start the engine.

    3. Turn the Techstream main switch on.
    4. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Active Test / Control the Fuel Pump / Speed.
    5. Check the fuel pump operation.
      1. Check for pressure in the fuel inlet tube from the fuel line. Check that the sound of fuel flowing in the fuel tank can be heard.

        If there is no sound, check the integration relay, fuel pump, ECM and wiring connector.

    6. Check for fuel leak.
      1. Check that there are no fuel leaks after performing maintenance anywhere on the system.

        If there are fuel leaks, repair or replace parts as necessary.

  2. CHECK FUEL PRESSURE 
    1. Check that the battery voltage is 11 to 14 V.
    2. Perform the "Discharge Fuel System Pressure" procedures (Refer to PRECAUTION [09/2015 - ] ).
    3. Disconnect the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal.
      NOTE:

      When disconnecting the cable, some systems need to be initialized after the cable is reconnected (Refer to INITIALIZATION [09/2015 - 08/2019] Refer to INITIALIZATION [08/2019 - ] ).

    4. Remove the fuel pipe clamp from the fuel tube connector.

      WARNING:
      • Always read the precautions (Refer to PRECAUTION [09/2015 - ] ) before disconnecting the fuel tube connector (quick type).
      • The fuel tube may spray fuel as a result of pressure that remains in it. Do not allow fuel to be sprayed in the engine compartment.
    6. Install SST (pressure gauge) as shown in the illustration.

      *1 SST (T Joint)
      *2 SST (Hose Band)
      *3 SST (Hose Joint)
      *4 SST (Gauge Assembly)
      *5 Fuel Tube
      *6 SST (Fuel Tube Connector)
      • SST: 09268-45101 
        1. 09268-41250
        2. 09268-41260
        3. 09268-41280
        4. 09268-41500
        5. 09268-41700
        6. 95336-08070
    7. Wipe off any gasoline.
    8. Reconnect the cable to the negative (-) battery terminal.
      NOTE:

      When disconnecting the cable, some systems need to be initialized after the cable is reconnected (Refer to INITIALIZATION [09/2015 - 08/2019] Refer to INITIALIZATION [08/2019 - ] ).

    9. Operate the fuel pump.
      1. Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
      2. Turn the engine switch on (IG).
        NOTE:

        Do not start the engine.

      3. Turn the Techstream main switch on.
      4. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Active Test / Control the Fuel Pump / Speed.
    10. Measure the fuel pressure.

      Standard fuel pressure

      281 to 287 kPa (2.87 to 2.93 kgf/cm2 , 41 to 42 psi)

      If the pressure is higher than the specification, replace the fuel pressure regulator.

      If the pressure is below the specification, check the fuel hoses and connections, fuel pump, fuel filter and fuel pressure regulator assembly.

    11. Start the engine.
    12. Measure the fuel pressure.

      Standard fuel pressure

      281 to 287 kPa (2.87 to 2.93 kgf/cm2 , 41 to 42 psi)

      If the pressure is not as specified, check the fuel pump, pressure regulator and/or injectors.

    13. Stop the engine.
    14. Check that the fuel pressure remains as specified for 5 minutes after the engine has stopped.

      Standard fuel pressure

      147 kPa (1.5 kgf/cm2 , 21 psi) or higher

      If the pressure is not as specified, check the fuel pump, pressure regulator and/or injectors.

    15. Disconnect the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal and carefully remove SST and the fuel tube connector to prevent gasoline from spraying.
    16. Reconnect the fuel tube (fuel tube connector).
    17. Check for fuel leaks.
      1. Check that there are no fuel leaks after performing maintenance anywhere on the system.

        If there are fuel leaks, repair or replace parts as necessary.
