Fuel Pressure Control VSV Circuit
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The ECU turns on a VSV (Vacuum Switching Valve)
to draw the air into the diaphragm chamber of the
pressure regulator if it detects that the temperature of
the coolant is too high during engine starting.
The air drawn into the chamber increases the fuel
pressure to prevent fuel vapor lock at high engine
temperature in order to help the engine start when it
is warm.
Fuel pressure control ends approx. 100 secs. after
the engine is started.
DIAGNOSTIC CHARTDIAGNOSTIC CHART
Check operation for fuel pressure control
VSV.Replace fuel pressure control VSV.
Repair or replace harness or
connector.
Proceed to next circuit inspection
shown on matrix chart (See page
TR±35).
Check for open and short in harness and
connector between main relay and ECU.
Check voltage of VSV power source.
Check and replace ECU.

(2) Remove fuel pressure control VSV.
(2) Disconnect fuel pressure control VSV connector.
(2) Measure resistance between terminals.
(2) Measure resistance between each terminal and thebody.
1. Resistance: 30 ± 50 at 20C (68F)
2. Resistance: 1M or higher
Check operation of fuel pressure control VSV when bat-
tery voltage is applied to the terminals of fuel pressure
control VSV connector or not.
Battery voltage is applied:
The air from pipe E is flowing out through the air fil-
ter.
Battery voltage is not applied:
The air from pipe E is flowing out through pipe G.
Replace fuel pressure control VSV.
Go to step 2.
