ing in fuel pipe line so that fuel will not flow out.
(I) Remove the fuel gauge cover in the luggage compartment.
(2) Disconnect the fuel pump harness connector.
(3) Start the engine and after it stops by itself, turn the ignition
switch to OFF.
(4) Connect the fuel pump harness connector.
(5) Apply the specified sealant to the rear floor pan.
Specified sealant: 3M ATD Part No. 8509 or equivalent
(6) Install the fuel gauge cover.
FUEL PUMP OPERATION CHECK
M13FDAI
(1) Set the ignition switch at OFF.
(2) Check that when the battery voltage is directly applied to
the fuel pump check terminal (black), the operating sound
of the pump can be heard.
NOTESince the fuel pump is installed in the fuel
.tank, its
operating sound cannot be readily heard. Remove the fuel
tank cap and listen to the operating sound through the filter
port.
(3) Hold the high pressure fuel hose between your fingers and
check that the fuel pressure can be felt.

(2) Disconnect the fuel high pressure hose at the delivery pipe
side.
dl
Caution
Cover the hose connection with rags to prevent splash
of fuel that could be caused by some residual pressurein the fuel pipe line.
(3) Set a fuel pressure gauge on the special tool, placing an
adequate O-ring or gasket between the gauge end special
tool prevent fuel leaks.
(4) Attach the special tool set in step (3) to the delivery pipe
between high pressure hose.
(5) Connect the 0 battery terminal.
(6) Connect a jumper wire to the terminal for activation of the
fuel pump and to the positive
0 terminal of the battery to
activate the fuel pump. With fuel pressure applied, check to
be sure that there is no fuel leakage from the fuel pressure
gauge and the special tool connection part.
(7) Disconnect the jumper wire (from the terminal for activation
’of the fuel pump) to stop the fuel pump.
(8) Start the engine and let it idle.
d(9) Measure the fuel pressure during idling.
Standard value:
Approx. 270 kPa (38 psi) at curb idle
Approx. 235 kPa (34 psi) at curb idle

(14)Stop the engine and check for a change of the value
indicated by the fuel pressure gauge. The condition is
normal if there is no decrease of the indicated value within~
two minutes.
,If there is a decrease of the indicated value, monitor the
:d ’speed of the decrease, and, referring to the table below,
determine the cause of the problem and make the
appropriate repair.
Condition
After the engine is stopped, thefuel pressure drops gradually.Probable cause
Injector leakage.
Leakage at the fuel pressure
regulator valve seat.Remedy
Replace the injector.
Replace the fuel pressure regulator.
There is a sudden sharp drop of
the fuel pressure immediately
after the engine is stopped.The check valve (within the fuelpump) is not closed.Replace the fuel pump.
(15)Remove all remaining pressure from inside the fuel pipe.(16)Disconnect the fuel pressure gauge and the special tool
from the delivery pipe.
CautionBecause there will be.a slight amount of remaining
pressure in the fuel pipe line, use rags to cover so thatfuel doesn’t splatter.
(17)Replace the O-ring at the end of the fuel high-pressure hose
with a new one.(I 8)After connecting the fuel high-pressure hose to the delivery
pipe, tighten the installation bolt at the specified torque.
dTightening torque: 5.0 Nm (3.6 ftlbs.)
(19)Check to be sure that there is no fuel leakage.@ Apply battery voltage to the terminal for activation of
the fuel pump so as to activate the fuel pump.@ With fuel pressure applied, check for leakage of the fuel
line.

SELF-DIAGNOSIS CHECKING
Self-diagnosis checking is performed when there has been an
automatic cancellation without cancel switch operation.
‘1 ’
NOTE‘LAEven when the ignition key is placed in the OFF position, all
diagnosis codes are stored and retained, until the battery cable
is disconnected, to make sure that the problems encountered
in the past can be checked.

WITH MULTI-USE TESTER(1) Read the self-diagnosis code.
(2) Refer to the diagnosis chart and repair the defective point.
(3) Clear the self-diagnosis codes by the following procedure.@ Place the ignition switch in the ON position.@ With the SET switch in the ON state, set the main
switch to ON. In less than 1
.O second thereafter, set the
RESUME switch to ON.@ With the SET switch in the ON state again, keep the
’stop light switch in the ON state for more than 5dseconds.@ Check the self-diagnosis code to verify that a normal
code is output.
WITH VOLTMETER
(1) Connect an analog voltmeter across the self-diagnosis
output terminal and ground terminal of the diagnosis
connector.
(2) Place the ignition switch and main switch in the ON
position.
(3) Read the self-diagnosis code on the basis of the deflection
of the pointer of the voltmeter.
(4) Refer to the diagnosis chart and repair the defective point.
(5) Clear the self-diagnosis codes in the same way as when a
multi-use tester is used.
