FUEL INJECTOR COIL TEST
PROCEDURE AND FUEL INJECTOR
BALANCE TEST PROCEDURE




Test Description
Number(s) below refer to the step number(s) on the
Diagnostic Chart:
2.
Relieve the fuel pressure by connecting the 5–
8840–0378–0 Fuel Pressure Gauge to the fuel
pressure connection on the fuel rail.
CAUTION: In order to reduce the risk of fire and
personal injury, wrap a shop towel around the fuel
pressure connection. The towel will absorb any fuel
leakage that occurs during the connection of the
fuel pressure gauge. Place the towel in an approved
container when the connection of the fuel pressure
gauge is complete.

Place the fuel pressure gauge bleed hose in an
approved gasoline container.

With the ignition switch “OFF," open the valve on
the fuel pressure gauge.


3.
Record the lowest voltage displayed by the DVM
after the first second of the test. (During the first
second, voltage displayed by the DVM may be
inaccurate due to the initial current surge.)

The voltage displayed by the DVM should be within
the specified range.
 The voltage displayed by the DVM may increase
throughout the test as the fuel injector windings
warm and the resistance of the fuel injecto
r
windings changes.
 An erratic voltage reading (large fluctuations in
voltage that do not stabilize) indicates an
intermittent connection within the fuel injector.

The Fuel Injector Balance Test portion of this chart
(Step 7 through Step 11) checks the mechanical
(fuel delivery) portion of the fuel injector. An engine
cool-down period of 10 minutes is necessary in
order to avoid irregular fuel pressure readings due
to “Hot Soak" fuel boiling.

second of the test.
5. Set the injector switch box to the next injector and
repeat steps 2, 3, and 4.
Did any fuel injector have an erratic voltage reading
(large fluctuations in voltage that did not stabilize) or a
voltage reading outside of the specified values? 5.7-6.6 V Go to Step 4 Go to Step 7

and 5–8840–2635–0 Injector Switch Box the fuel
injector harness connector.
2. Set the amperage supply selector switch on the
fuel injector tester to the “Balance Test" 0.5-2.5
amp position.
3. Using the Tech 2 turn the fuel pump “ON" then
“OFF" in order to pressurize the fuel system.
4. Record the fuel pressure indicated by the fuel
pressure gauge after the fuel pressure stabilizes.
This is the first pressure reading.
5. Energize the fuel injector by depressing the “Push
to Start Test" button on the fuel injector tester.
6. Record the fuel pressure indicated by the fuel
pressure gauge after the fuel pressure gauge
needle has stopped moving. This is the second
pressure reading.
7. Repeat steps 1 through 6 for each fuel injector.
8. Subtract the second pressure reading from the first
pressure reading for one fuel injector. The result
is the pressure drop value.
9. Obtain a pressure drop value for each fuel injector.
10. Add all of the individual pressure drop values.
This is the total pressure drop.
11. Divide the total pressure drop by the number of
fuel injectors. This is the average pressure drop.
Does any fuel injector have a pressure drop value that
is either higher than the average pressure drop or
lower than the average pressure drop by the specified
value? 10 kPa

System Check
10 Re-test any fuel injector that does not meet the
specification. Refer to the procedure in step 11.
Do not repeat any portion of this test before running
the engine in order to prevent the engine from
flooding.
Does any fuel injector still have a pressure drop value
that is either higher than the average pressure drop or
lower than the average pressure drop by the specified
value? 10 kPa

FUEL SYSTEM ELECTRICAL TEST




RTW36ELF000101
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
When the ignition switch is first turned “ON," the Engine
Control Module (ECM) energizes the fuel pump relay
which applies power to the in-tank fuel pump. The fuel
pump relay will remain “ON" as long as the engine is
running or cranking and the ECM is receiving 58X
crankshaft position pulses. If no 58X crankshaft position
pulses are present, the ECM de-energizes the fuel
pump relay within 2 seconds after the ignition is turned
“ON" or the engine is stopped.
The fuel pump delivers fuel to the fuel rail and injectors,
then to the fuel pressure regulator. The fuel pressure
regulator controls fuel pressure by allowing excess fuel
to be returned to the fuel tank. With the engine stopped
and ignition “ON," the fuel pump can be turned “ON" by
using a command by the Tech 2.
DIAGNOSTIC AIDS
An intermittent may be caused by a poor connection,
rubbed-through wire insulation, or a wire broken inside
the insulation. Check for the following items:
 Poor connection or damaged harness –Inspect the
ECM harness and connectors for improper mating,
broken locks, improperly formed or damaged
terminals, poor terminal-to-wire connection, and
damaged harness.

6E-112 3.5L ENGINE DRIVEABILITY AND EMISSIONS
CAUTION: To reduce the risk of fire and personal
injury:
 It is necessary to relieve fuel system pressure
before connecting a fuel pressure gauge. Refer to
Fuel Pressure Relief Procedure, below.
 A small amount of fuel may be released when
disconnecting the fuel lines. Cover fuel line
fittings with a shop towel before disconnecting,
to catch any fuel that may leak out. Place the
towel in an approved container when the
disconnect is completed.
FUEL PRESSURE RELIEF PROCEDURE
1. Remove the fuel cap.
2. Remove the fuel pump relay from the underhood
relay center.
3. Start the engine and allow it to stall.
4. Crank the engine for an additional 3 seconds.
FUEL GAUGE INSTALLATION
1. Remove the fuel pressure fitting cap.
2. Install fuel gauge 5-8840-0378-0 to the fuel feed line
located in front of and above the right side valve
cover.
3. Reinstall the fuel pump relay.
