CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the self-test.
- HC3: CHECK THE FUEL PRESSURE NOTE: During output state control, the fuel pump stays commanded on for only about 5 seconds.
- Key in OFF position.
- Relieve the fuel pressure. Refer to the FUEL SYSTEM - HYBRID for the Fuel System Pressure Release procedure.

- Pressurize the fuel system. Refer to the FUEL SYSTEM - HYBRID for the Fuel System Pressure Release procedure.
- Key ON, engine OFF.
- Access the PCM and control the FP PID.
- Control the FP ON.
- Is the fuel pressure between 275-485 kPa (40-70 psi)?
- HC4: CHECK THE FUEL PUMP GROUND CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN IN THE HARNESS
- Key in OFF position.
- FP connector disconnected.
- Key ON, engine OFF.
- Measure the voltage between:
(+) Vehicle Battery (-) FP Connector, Harness Side Positive terminal FPGND - Is the voltage greater than 10 V?
- Yes: GO to HC5.
- No: REPAIR the open circuit. CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the self-test.
- HC5: CHECK THE FUEL PUMP POWER CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN IN THE HARNESS NOTE: During output state control, the fuel pump stays commanded on for only about 5 seconds.
- Verify the IFS switch is set (button pushed in). Refer to the Owner's Literature for location.
- FP connector disconnected.
- Key ON, engine OFF.
- Access the PCM and control the FP PID.
- Control the FP ON.
- Measure the voltage between:
(+) FP Connector, Harness Side (-) Vehicle Battery FPPWR Negative terminal - Is the voltage greater than 10 V?
- Yes: GO to HC6.
- No: REPAIR the open circuit. CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the self-test.
- HC6: CHECK THE FUEL PRESSURE LEAKDOWN NOTE: When the fuel pump is commanded off, the fuel pressure may substantially decrease and then stabilize.NOTE: During output state control, the fuel pump stays commanded on for only about 5 seconds.
- Mechanical fuel pressure gauge connected.
- Key ON, engine OFF.
- Access the PCM and control the FP PID.
- Run the fuel pump to obtain maximum fuel pressure.
- Command the fuel pump off.
- Allow the fuel pressure to stabilize.
- Monitor the fuel pressure for 1 minute.
- Does the fuel pressure remain greater than 275 kPa (40 psi) after 1 minute?
- HC7: CHECK FUEL INJECTOR FLOW AND LEAKAGE NOTE: Observe the warnings, cautions, and notes at the beginning of this pinpoint test.
- Check the fuel injectors for leakage and flow rate using the injector flow tester.
- Are test results satisfactory?
- Yes: GO to HC8.
- No:
INSTALL a new fuel injector as necessary. REFER to the FUEL CHARGING AND CONTROLS -- HYBRID
.
RESET the keep alive memory (KAM). REFER to RESETTING THE KEEP ALIVE MEMORY (KAM) . REPEAT the self-test.
- HC8: COMPARE THE FRP PID TO THE MECHANICAL GAUGE NOTE: Most mechanical gauges are referenced to atmospheric pressure. The fuel rail pressure and temperature (FRPT) sensor is referenced to manifold pressure. In order to make a valid comparison, the engine must be off.NOTE: The vehicle may exhibit a long crank until the fuel system is pressurized.
- Key in OFF position.
