On-Vehicle Inspection: Procedure
- AFTER SERVICE PRECAUTION WARNING:
- Fuel is highly flammable and dangerous. Fuel line spills and leakage can cause serious injury or death, and damage to equipment. If fuel comes into contact with the skin and eyes it will cause irritation. To prevent this, perform the following inspections with the engine stopped.
- A person charged with static electricity could cause a fire or explosion, resulting in death or serious injury. Before performing work on the fuel system, discharge static electricity by touching the vehicle body.
- Fuel Leakage Inspection
Using Techstream
- Connect the Techstream to the DLC-2.
- Switch the ignition to ON (engine off).
- Using the simulation function "Fuel pump", start the fuel pump.
Refer to ON-BOARD DIAGNOSTIC TEST
- Verify that there is no fuel leakage from the serviced parts.
Standard
There shall be no leakage after 5 minutes.
- In the case of fuel leakage, replace the following components and then recheck using the fuel leakage checking procedure.
- If there is leakage, replace the fuel hoses and clips.
- If there is damage on the seal on the fuel pipe side, replace the fuel pipe.
Without using Techstream
- Disconnect the negative battery cable.
Refer to REMOVAL

- FUEL LINE PRESSURE INSPECTION WARNING:
- Fuel line spills and leakage from the pressurized fuel system are dangerous. Fuel can ignite and cause serious injury or death and damage. To prevent this, complete the following inspection with the engine stopped.
- Fuel is very flammable liquid. If fuel spills or leaks from the pressurized fuel system, it will cause serious injury or death and facility breakage. Fuel can also irritate skin and eyes. To prevent this, always complete the "Fuel Line Safety Procedure", while referring to the "BEFORE SERVICE PRECAUTION".

- Fuel Siphoning Procedure Not Using Fuel Pump
- Complete the "BEFORE SERVICE PRECAUTION".
Refer to PRECAUTION
- Perform the following procedure (1) to (3) if the fuel gauge value is 3/4 or more. If the fuel gauge value is 3/4 or less, go to Step 3.NOTE:
- If an excessive length of hose is inserted into the fuel-filler pipe, the hose will push the roll-over valve and the hose may enter the fuel tank. If the hose enters the fuel tank, the hose may get stuck on the roll-over valve when the hose is pulled and the roll-over valve could be damaged. Do not insert the hose more than the specified length.
- When removing the hose from the fuel-filler opening, use a rag to prevent fuel spatter.
HINT:
- When removing the hose from the fuel-filler opening, use a rag to prevent fuel spatter.
- Cut the tip of the hose diagonally so that it can be inserted into the fuel-filler pipe smoothly.
- When inserting the hose into the fuel-filler pipe, the hose may get stuck. In such cases, rotate the hose so that the hose can be inserted easily.
- The pump siphons all the fuel that leaked out of the roll-over valve and was trapped in the joint hose, then it suctions the air. After siphoning the fuel, wait several seconds until the air is suctioned out, then resume siphoning.
- Cut the tip of the hose diagonally and place a mark at the position of the specified hose insertion length.
*a Hose *b Marking *c Hose Insertion Length
(Specified Value)Hose insertion length (specified value)
1240 mm (4.07 ft.)
Hose type (reference)
Oil-resistant plastic hose of 10 mm (0.3934 in.) outer diam. x 6 mm (0.236 in.) inner diam. or equivalent
- Insert the hose from the fuel-filler opening by rotating it to the marked position.
- Using a pump, siphon the fuel until the fuel gauge value reaches 3/4 or less.
- Remove the fuel pump unit.
Refer to REMOVAL
- Drain the fuel.
- Remove the hose using a rag.
- Complete the "BEFORE SERVICE PRECAUTION".
