      Proceed to Inspection Areas Descriptions
      A

      Inspect and repair cylinder injector with revised injection volume of less than -2.0 mm3:


      • Perform power balance inspection and identify malfunctioning cylinder

      • Replace malfunctioning cylinder injector

      Abnormal value cylinder injector injects excessively large quantity of fuel
      B

      Identify malfunctioning cylinders by conducting power balance inspection:


      • Perform power balance inspection to identify malfunctioning cylinders

      • Clean malfunctioning cylinder injector, then check and repair it

      Abnormal value cylinder injector injects excessively large quantity of fuel


      • Fuel injection volume too low due to injector nozzle being blocked by deposits

      • Abnormal value cylinder injector compression decreases

      • Abnormal value cylinder injector injects excessively large quantity of fuel

      C

      Inspect and repair all cylinder injectors:

      Clean all cylinder injectors, inspect, and repair them

      All cylinder injectors inject excessively small quantity of fuel:

      Fuel injection volume too low due to all cylinder injector nozzles being blocked by deposits

      Tech Tips

      *: When the Injection Volume displayed on the intelligent tester is large despite the Fuel Press and Injection Feedback Val #1 to #4 in the Data List being normal, the injector may be clogged. In this case, there may be deposits inside or outside the tip of the injector.


      • Despite the injector functioning normally, the indicated Injection Feedback Val #1 to #4 value may be outside the normal operating range due to compensation for other problems (such as low compression).

      • Injection Feedback Val #1 to #4 is the value used to correct the fuel injection volumes of each cylinder, in order to optimize (compensate for the unevenness between) all the cylinder combustion conditions. If any of the cylinders malfunction, the fuel injection volumes for the normal cylinders are corrected simultaneously. As a result, the Injection Feedback Val #1 to #4 may deviate from the standard range.
