FUEL PUMP OPERATION CHECK’
1.Check the operation of the fuel pump by
tool to force-drive the fuel pump.
2. If the fuel pump will not operate, check by usin g
following procedure. normal, check the fuel pump drive
circuit.
(1) Turn off the ignition switch.
(2) When the fuel,, pump
(black) is
directly to the battery, if the sound of
the fuel pump operation can be heard.
NOTE
As the fuel pump is an in-tank type, the fuel pump
sound is hard to hear, so remove the fuel tank
tube cap and check from the tank inlet.
(3) Check the fuel pressure by
the fuel hose
with the fingertips.

Checking operation sound Using a stethoscope or long blade screwdriver, chec k the
operation sound (“tick-tick-tick”) of injectors dur ing idling or
during cranking
Check that as the engine speed increases, the frequ ency
of the operating sound also increases.
Caution
Note that even if the injector you are checking is not
operating, you will hear the operating sound of the other
injectors.
NOTE
If no operating sound is heard from the injector th at being
checked, check the injector drive circuit. If there is nothing
wrong with the circuit, a defective injector or ECM is suspected

NOTE
Disconnecting the engine coolant temperature sensor
connector and connecting the harness-side of the co nnec-

starting the motor), then
3.If the operation sound cannot be heard, check the
motor’s activation circuit.
If the circuit is normal, it is probable that there, is
