1) If using scan tool, go to step 4). On 3000GT, go to step
3). On Montero, speedometer testing procedures using DVOM require
removal of instrument panel. Removal and installation of instrument
panel is basically an unbolt and bolt-on procedure.
2) DO NOT disconnect connectors. Using DVOM, check continuity
between indicated speedometer terminals. See Fig. 40. Ensure
continuity pulses on and off with speedometer shaft revolution. If
continuity is not as specified, replace speedometer. If continuity is
as specified, go to next step.

specified, replace solenoid. If solenoid tests as specified, go to
next step.
4) Ensure solenoid holds vacuum with nipple "B" unplugged,
and negative jumper wire disconnected. If solenoid does not test as
specified, replace solenoid. If solenoid tests as specified, go to
next step.
5) Check resistance between solenoid terminals. If resistance
is not 36-44 ohms at 68
F (20C), replace solenoid. If resistance is
as specified, go to next step.
6) Remove turbocharger by-pass valve. Connect vacuum pump to
by-pass valve nipple. Apply 16 in. Hg of vacuum. Ensure vacuum holds
and valve begins to open. If by-pass valve does not test as specified,
replace by-pass valve. If by-pass valve tests as specified, go to step
8).
7) Turn ignition switch to ON position. Using scan tool, turn
turbocharger wastegate solenoid on and off (item 12). Clicking sound
should be heard. If clicking sound is not heard, go to next step. If
clicking sound is heard, go to step 10).
8) Disconnect solenoid connector. Turn ignition switch to ON
position. Using DVOM, check for voltage between chassis ground and
solenoid connector terminal No. 1. If battery voltage does not exist,
repair wiring harness as necessary. If battery voltage exists, go to
next step.
9) Turn ignition switch to OFF position. Disconnect PCM
connector. Ground PCM connector terminal No. 41. Check continuity
between chassis ground and solenoid connector terminal No. 2. If
continuity does not exist, repair wiring harness as necessary. If
continuity exists, go to next step.
10) Test is complete. Intermittent problem may exist. Road
test vehicle (if necessary) and attempt to duplicate conditions that
caused original complaint. Recheck for DTCs. If no DTCs are displayed,
go to INTERMITTENT DTCS .
DTC P1105: FUEL PRESSURE SOLENOID FAILURE
NOTE: This test applies to 3000GT turbo only. For terminal
identification, see TERMINAL IDENTIFICATION. For circuit and
wire color identification, see L - WIRING DIAGRAMS article.
1) If using scan tool, go to step 6). Remove vacuum hoses
from fuel pressure solenoid. Disconnect solenoid harness connector.
Connect a vacuum pump to solenoid nipple "A". See Fig. 47. Apply
vacuum and go to next step.
2) Using jumper wires, connect battery voltage and ground to
solenoid terminals. Ensure solenoid does not hold vacuum with nipple
"B" unplugged, and negative jumper wire disconnected. If solenoid does
not test as specified, replace solenoid. If solenoid tests as
specified, go to next step.
