Whenever the high pressure fuel pump, fuel pipe, deliverypipe, or injector
is removed immediately after shutting offthe engine, an injury may be caused
by the release ofhighly pressurized fuel. Release the residual pressure
inthe high pressure fuel line by referring to the "Residualfuel pressure
release procedure" below before removingany high pressure fuel system components.

Fuel pressure test (low pressure system)
Fuel Pressure Test (Low pressure system) |
1. |
Release the residual pressure in fuel line.
(Refer to the Fuel Delivery System - Inspection - "Release Residual Pressure
in Fuel Line").
When removing the fuel pump fuse, a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC)
may occur. Delete the code with the KDS/GDS after completion of
“Release Residual Pressure in Fuel Line” work.
|
|
2. |
Install the Special Service Tool (SST).
(1) |
Disconnect the fuel feed tube from the delivery pipe.
There may be some residual pressure even after “Release
Residual Pressure in Fuel Line” work, so cover the hose
connection with a shop towel to prevent residual fuel from
spilling out before disconnecting any fuel connection.
|
|
(2) |
Install the special service tool for measuring the fuel pressure
in between the fuel feed tube and the fuel delivery pipe (Refer
to the figure below).


|
|
3. |
Inspect fuel leakage on connections among the low fuel feed tube, the
low pressure inlet of high pressure fuel pump, and the SST components with
IG ON.
|
4. |
Measure Fuel Pressure.
(1) |
Start the engine and measure the fuel pressure at idle.
Fuel Pressure: Over 500 kPa (Over 5.0 bar, Over 5.09
kgf/cm², Over 72.51 psi)
|
If the fuel pressure differs from the standard value,
repair or replace the related part (Refer to the table below).

(2) |
Stop the engine, and then check for the change in the fuel pressure
gauge reading.
Standard Value: The gauge reading should hold for about
5 minutes after the engine stops
|
If the gauge reading should not be held, repair or replace
the related part (Refer to the table below).

6. |
Test End
(1) |
Remove the Special Service Tool (SST) from the low pressure fuel
feed tube and the low pressure inlet of high pressure fuel pump.
|
(2) |
Connect the low pressure fuel feed tube and the low pressure
inlet of high pressure fuel pump.

Release Residual Pressure in Fuel Line |
There may be some residual pressure even after “Release Residual Pressure
in Fuel Line” work, so cover the hose connection with a shop towel to prevent
residual fuel from spilling out before disconnecting any fuel connection.
|
1. |
Turn the ignition switch OFF and disconnect the battery (-) terminal.
|
2. |
Remove the fuel pump fuse (A).

When removing the fuel pump fuse, a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC)
may occur. Delete the code with the KDS after completion of “Release
Residual Pressure in Fuel Line” work.
|
|
3. |
Connect the battery negative (-) terminal.
|
4. |
Start the engine and let idle.
|
5. |
Turn the ignition switch OFF after the engine has stopped on its own.
|
6. |
Disconnect the battery negative (-) terminal, and then install the fuel
pump fuse (A).
|
7. |
Connect the battery negative (-) terminal.
|
8. |
Delete the Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) related the fuel pump fuse with
the KDS.
