PROCEDURE
READ VALUE USING INTELLIGENT TESTER (FUEL PRESS AND TARGET COMMON RAIL PRESSURE) (PROCEDURE 1)
Replace the normal DLC3 cable (12 V specification) for the intelligent tester with the 24 V DLC3 cable.
Note
Be sure to use the 24 V DLC3 cable when connecting the intelligent tester to the DLC3. Using the normal DLC3 cable (12 V specification) will cause damage to the tester.
Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.
Turn the ignition switch to ON.
Turn the tester on.
Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Data List / Fuel Press and Target Common Rail Pressure.
Confirm the values for "Fuel Press" and "Target Common Rail Pressure" when the engine is started.
| Result | Proceed to |
|---|---|
| Except below | A |
| "Fuel Press" exceeds 222000 kPa when the engine is started | B |
Tech Tips
Normally, "Fuel Press" does not reach 222000 kPa when the engine is started.
If "Fuel Press" reaches 222000 kPa when the engine is started, the suction control valve may not be operating (current may not be reaching the suction control valve).

READ VALUE USING INTELLIGENT TESTER (FUEL PRESS AND TARGET COMMON RAIL PRESSURE) (PROCEDURE 2)
Replace the normal DLC3 cable (12 V specification) for the intelligent tester with the 24 V DLC3 cable.
Note
Be sure to use the 24 V DLC3 cable when connecting the intelligent tester to the DLC3. Using the normal DLC3 cable (12 V specification) will cause damage to the tester.
Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.
Turn the ignition switch to ON.
Turn the tester on.
Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Data List / Fuel Press and Target Common Rail Pressure.
Confirm the values for "Fuel Press" and "Target Common Rail Pressure" when the engine is started, and when accelerating and decelerating the vehicle.
| Result | Proceed to |
|---|---|
| Except below | A |
| "Fuel Press" is constantly fluctuating and differs from "Target Common Rail Pressure" as shown in figure 1 | B |
| "Fuel Press" greatly overshoots "Target Common Rail Pressure" and differs substantially from "Target Common Rail Pressure" as shown in figure 2 | |
| Engine does not start, takes a long time to start, or starts but "Fuel Press" is less than "Target Common Rail Pressure" as shown in figure 3 | |
| After the engine starts, "Fuel Press" becomes much higher than "Target Common Rail Pressure" and hardly decreases at all as shown in figure 4 | |
| "Fuel Press" fluctuates during acceleration or right after accelerating as shown in figure 5 | C |
Tech Tips
The cases shown in figure 3 and 4 may occur when the learned value for the injection or supply pump assembly is incorrect immediately after the suction control valve, the injection or supply pump assembly, the fuel filter, or the ECM is replaced.
If "Fuel Press" fluctuates during acceleration as shown in figure 5, there may be air in the fuel system due to an increase in fuel suction vacuum.

| A |
|
PERFORM ACTIVE TEST USING INTELLIGENT TESTER (TEST THE FUEL LEAK)
Tech Tips
By performing this Active Test, the engine speed is maintained at 2000 rpm and the common rail assembly internal fuel pressure is raised to the maximum operating pressure. As a result, a fuel leak check can be conducted while retaining a high common rail pressure.
Replace the normal DLC3 cable (12 V specification) for the intelligent tester with the 24 V DLC3 cable.
Note
Be sure to use the 24 V DLC3 cable when connecting the intelligent tester to the DLC3. Using the normal DLC3 cable (12 V specification) will cause damage to the tester.
Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.
Start the engine.
Turn the tester on.
Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Active Test / Test the Fuel Leak.
Visually check the injection or supply pump assembly, injector assembly and fuel line located between the injection or supply pump assembly and common rail assembly for fuel leaks and fuel pressure leaks. Also, perform the same check on the fuel line between the common rail assembly and the injector assembly.
Tech Tips
There may be fuel leaks inside the components, such as the injection or supply pump assembly.
| Result | Proceed to |
|---|---|
| No fuel leaks exist | A |
| Fuel leaks exist | B |

Replace the normal DLC3 cable (12 V specification) for the intelligent tester with the 24 V DLC3 cable.
Note
Be sure to use the 24 V DLC3 cable when connecting the intelligent tester to the DLC3. Using the normal DLC3 cable (12 V specification) will cause damage to the tester.
Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.
Turn the ignition switch to ON.
Turn the tester on.
Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Data List / Fuel Press and Target Common Rail Pressure.
Confirm the values for "Fuel Press" and "Target Common Rail Pressure" when the accelerator pedal is depressed and then released.
| Result | Proceed to |
|---|---|
| After the accelerator pedal is depressed, "Fuel Press" exceeds 222000 kPa and then decreases | A |

READ VALUE USING INTELLIGENT TESTER (FUEL PRESS AND TARGET COMMON RAIL PRESSURE) (PROCEDURE 6)
Replace the normal DLC3 cable (12 V specification) for the intelligent tester with the 24 V DLC3 cable.
Note
Be sure to use the 24 V DLC3 cable when connecting the intelligent tester to the DLC3. Using the normal DLC3 cable (12 V specification) will cause damage to the tester.
Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.
Turn the ignition switch to ON.
Turn the tester on.
Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Data List / Fuel Press and Target Common Rail Pressure.
Confirm the values for "Fuel Press" and "Target Common Rail Pressure" when the engine speed is gradually raised from idle to 3000 rpm.
| Result | Proceed to |
|---|---|
| "Fuel Press" becomes unstable in a certain engine speed range and stops following "Target Common Rail Pressure" as shown in figure 1 | A |
| "Fuel Press" is continually low and does not follow "Target Common Rail Pressure" as shown in figure 2 | |
| "Fuel Press" changes with no relation to "Target Common Rail Pressure" as shown in figure 3 | B |
| Except above | C |
Tech Tips
The cases shown in figure 1 and 2 occur when the amount of fuel supplied by the injection or supply pump assembly is insufficient.
When the amount of fuel supplied is insufficient, the fuel filter or a fuel pipe being clogged is usually the cause.

CHECK FOR CLOGS IN FUEL SUCTION PIPES AND AIR IN FUEL
Check that there are no clogs in the fuel filter, fuel pipes and fuel suction port in the fuel tank.
Check that the amount of fuel is sufficient.
Inspect the fuel tank, the fuel pipes, the injection or supply pump assembly, the common rail assembly and the injector assemblies for fuel leaks and seepage.
Check if fuel waxing has occurred due to low temperatures.
Tech Tips
Once fuel waxing occurs, the engine needs to be run for a long time in order for the wax to melt.
Check if the fuel pipes are bent or deformed, preventing fuel from flowing.
