Go to appropriate DTC test.
No
No DTC is displayed:
Go to next step.
6
Install fuel pressure gauge between fuel main pipe
and fuel distributor.
Start engine and run it at idle.
Measure fuel line pressure at idle.
Is fuel line pressure correct at idle?
Fuel line pressure
210—260 kPa {2.1—2.6 kgf/cm2, 30—36 psi}
Yes
Go to next step.
No
Zero or low:
• Inspect fuel pump unit circuit.
• Inspect for open fuel pump body relief valve.
• Inspect for fuel leakage inside pressure
regulator.
• Inspect for clogged main fuel line.
High:
• Inspect pressure regulator for high pressure
cause.
• Inspect for clogged fuel return line.
7
