BASIC SERVICE PROCEDURE
2006 QX56
FUEL PRESSURE CHECK
CAUTION:

Before disconnecting fuel line, release fuel pressure from fuel line to eliminate danger.

Be careful not to scratch or get the fuel hose connection area dirty when servicing, so that the
quick connector o-ring maintains sealability.

Use Fuel Pressure Gauge Kit J-44321 and Fuel Pressure Adapter J-44321-6 to check fuel pressure.

Do not perform fuel pressure check with electrical system operating (i.e. lights, rear defog, A/C,
etc.). Fuel pressure gauge may indicate false readings due to varying engine loads and changes in
manifold vacuum.
NOTE:
Prepare pans or saucers under the disconnected fuel line because the fuel may spill out. The fuel pres-
sure cannot be completely released because JA60 models do not have fuel return system.
1. Release fuel pressure to zero. Refer to EC-80, "
FUEL PRESSURE RELEASE" .
2. Remove engine cover.
3. Remove fuel hose using Quick Connector Release J-45488. Refer to EM-17, "
INTAKE MANIFOLD" .

Do not twist or kink fuel hose because it is plastic hose.

Do not remove fuel hose from quick connector.

Keep fuel hose connections clean.
4. Install Fuel Pressure Adapter J-44321-6 and Fuel Pressure Gauge (from kit J-44321) as shown in figure.

Do not distort or bend fuel rail tube when installing fuel pres-
sure gauge adapter.

When reconnecting fuel hose, check the original fuel hose for
damage and abnormality.
5. Turn ignition switch ON (reactivate fuel pump), and check for fuel leakage.
6. Start engine and check for fuel leakage.
7. Read the indication of fuel pressure gauge.

During fuel pressure check, check for fuel leakage from fuel
connection every 3 minutes.
8. If result is unsatisfactory, go to next step.
9. Check the following.

Fuel hoses and fuel tubes for clogging

Fuel filter for clogging

Fuel pump

Fuel pressure regulator for clogging
If OK, replace fuel pressure regulator.
If NG, repair or replace.
10. Before disconnecting Fuel Pressure Gauge and Fuel Pressure Adapter J-44321-6, release fuel pressure to zero. Refer to EC-80, "
FUEL PRESSURE RELEASE" .
At idling:
Approximately 350 kPa (3.57 kg/cm
2 , 51 psi)

Detailed Flow
1. GET INFORMATION FOR SYMPTOM
Get the detailed information from the customer about the symptom (the condition and the environment when
the incident/malfunction occurred) using the EC-88, "
Worksheet Sample" .
>> GO TO 2.
2. CHECK DTC*1
1. Check DTC*1 .
2. Perform the following procedure if DTC*
1 is displayed.
–Record DTC*1 and freeze frame data*2 . (Print them out with CONSULT-II or GST.)
–Erase DTC*1 . (Refer to EC-61, "HOW TO ERASE EMISSION-RELATED DIAGNOSTIC INFORMATION"
.)
–Study the relationship between the cause detected by DTC*1 and the symptom described by the cus-
tomer. (Symptom Matrix Chart is useful. Refer to EC-92, "
Symptom Matrix Chart" .)
3. Check related service bulletins for information.
Is any symptom described and any DTC detected?
Symptom is described, DTC*1 is displayed>>GO TO 3.
Symptom is described, DTC*
1 is not displayed>>GO TO 4.

3. CONFIRM THE SYMPTOM
Try to confirm the symptom described by the customer (except MIL ON).
DIAGNOSIS WORK SHEET is useful to verify the incident.
Connect CONSULT-II to the vehicle in “DATA MONITOR (AUTO TRIG)” mode and check real time diagnosis
results.
Verify relation between the symptom and the condition when the symptom is detected.
>> GO TO 5.
4. CONFIRM THE SYMPTOM

5. PERFORM DTC CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE
Perform DTC Confirmation Procedure for the displayed DTC* , and then make sure that DTC*
1 is detected
again.
At this time, always connect CONSULT-II to the vehicle, and check diagnostic results in real time on “DATA

BLE DIAGNOSIS - SPECIFICATION VALUE" .
Are they within the SP value?
Yes >> GO TO 9.
No >> GO TO 8.
8. DETECT MALFUNCTIONING PART BY TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS - SPECIFICATION VALUE
