(1) Install the fuel pressure gauge on the special tool
(for measuring the fuel pressure) putting a suitable
O-ring or gasket between them.
(2) Install the special tool which was set up in step (1)
between the high-pressure fuel hose and the delivery
pipe.
5. Connect the MUT-IIto the diagnosis connector.
6. Turn the ignition switch to “ON” position. (But do not start
the engine.)
7. Select “Item No. 07” from the MUT-IIActuator test to
drive the fuel pump. Check that there are no fuel leaks
from any parts.
8. Finish the actuator test or turn the ignition switch to “LOCK”
(OFF) position.
9. Start the engine and run at idle.
10. Measure fuel pressure while the engine is running at
idle.
Standard value: Approximately 230 kPa at cerb idle
11. Disconnect the vacuum hose from the fuel pressure
regulator and measure fuel pressure with the hose end
closed by a finger.
Standard value: 289 - 309 kPa at cerb idle
12. Check to see that fuel pressure at idle does not drop
even after the engine has been raced several times.
13. Racing the engine repeatedly, hold the fuel return hose
lightly with fingers to feel that fuel pressure is present
in the return hose.
NOTE
If the fuel flow rate is low, there will be no fuel pressure
in the return hose.Fuel pressure gauge set

16. Release residual pressure from the fuel pipe line.
(Refer to P.13A-125.)
17. Remove the fuel pressure gauge and special tool from
the delivery pipe.
Caution
Cover the hose connection with rags to prevent splash
of fuel that could be caused by some residual pressure
in the fuel pipe line.
18. Replace the O-ring at the end of the fuel high pressure
hose with a new one. Furthermore, apply engine oil to
the new O-ring before replacement.
19. Fit the fuel high pressure hose over the delivery pipe
and tighten the bolt to specified torque.
Tightening torque: 5.0±1.0 N·m
20. Check for any fuel leaks by following the procedure in
step 7.
21. Disconnect the MUT-II.

proportion to the opening
angle of the throttle valve
4. If the resistance is outside the standard value, or if it
doesn’t change smoothly, replace the throttle position
sensor.
NOTE
For the throttle position sensor adjustment procedure,
refer to P.13A-90.
OXYGEN SENSOR CHECK

1. Disconnect the oxygen sensor connector and connect
the special tool (test harness: MB998464) to the connector
on the oxygen sensor side.
2. Make sure that there is continuity (4.5 - 8.0Ωat 20_C)
between terminal No. 1 and terminal No. 3 on the oxygen
sensor connector.
3. If there is no continuity, replace the oxygen sensor.
4. Warm up the engine until engine coolant is 80_C or higher.

5. Use the jumper wire to connect terminal No. 1 of the
oxygen sensor connector to the battery (+) terminal and
terminal No. 3 to the battery ( - ) terminal.
Caution
Be very careful when connecting the jumper wire;
incorrect connection can damage the oxygen sensor.
6. Connect a digital voltage meter between terminal No.

7. While repeatedly racing the engine, measure the oxygen
sensor output voltage.
Standard value:
EngineOxygen sensor
output voltageRemarks
When
racing the
engine0.6 - 1.0 VIf you make the air/fuel ratio
rich by racing the engine
repeatedly, a normal oxy-
gen sensor will output a
voltage of 0.6 - 1.0 V.
8. If the sensor is defective, replace the oxygen sensor.
NOTE
For removal and installation of the oxygen sensor, refer
to GROUP 15 - Exhaust Pipe and Main Muffler.

1. Disconnect the oxygen sensor connector and connect
the special tool (test harness set) to the connector on
the oxygen sensor side.
2. Make sure that there is continuity (11 - 18Ωat 20_C)
between terminal No. 3 and terminal No. 4 on the oxygen
sensor connector.
3. If there is no continuity, replace the oxygen sensor.
NOTE
(1) If the MUT-IIdoes not display the standard value
although no abnormality is found by the above
mentioned continuity test and harness check, replace
the oxygen sensor (rear).
(2) For removal and installation of the oxygen sensor,
refer to GROUP 15 - Exhaust Pipe and Main Muffler.

INJECTOR CHECK
OPERATION SOUND CHECK
Using a sound scope, check the operation sound of the injector
(“chh” sound) during idling and cranking.
Check that the operation sound increases when the speed
increases.
Caution
The sound of other injectors operating may be heard
even when the injector being checked is not operated.
NOTE
If no operation sound is heard, check the injector drive circuit.
If the circuit is normal, the injector or engine-ECU may be
faulty.
Measurement of Resistance between Terminals
1. Remove the injector connector.
2. Measure the resistance between terminals.
Standard value: 2 - 3Ω(at 20_C)
3. Install the injector connector.
Checking the Injection Condition
1. Following the steps below, bleed out the residual pressure
within the fuel pipe line to prevent flow of the fuel. (Refer
to P.13A-96.)
2. Remove the injector.
3. Arrange the special tool (injector test set), adaptor, fuel
pressure regulator and clips as shown in the illustration
below.

4. Connect the MUT-IIto the diagnosis connector.
5. Turn the ignition switch to “ON” position. (But do not start
the engine.)
6. Select “Item No. 07” from the MUT-IIActuator test to
drive the fuel pump.
7. Activate the injector and check the atomized spray
condition of the fuel.
The condition can be considered satisfactory unless it
is extremely poor.
8. Stop the actuation of the injector, and check for leakage
from the injector’s nozzle.
Standard value: 1 drop or less per minute
9. Activate the injector without activating the fuel pump; then,
when the spray emission of fuel from the injector stops,
disconnect the special tool and restore it to its original
condition.
10. Disconnect the MUT-II.

Checking the Operation Sound
1. Check that the engine coolant temperature is 20_Cor
below.
NOTE
Disconnecting the engine coolant temperature sensor
connector and connecting the harness-side of the
connector to another engine coolant temperature sensor
that is at 20_C or below is also okay.
2. Check that the operation sound of the stepper motor
can be heard after the ignition is switched “ON” position.
(but without starting the engine.)
3. If the operation sound cannot be heard, check the stepper
motor’s activation circuit.
If the circuit is normal, it is probable that there is a
malfunction of the stepper motor or of the engine-ECU.
