FUEL PRESSURE REGULATOR ON-VEHICLE INSPECTION

CAUTION:


  • During ACTIVE TEST mode, engine speed goes high and combustion noise becomes loud, so pay attention.

  • During ACTIVE TEST mode, fuel becomes high-pressured, so take much care for not expose your eyes, hands, or body to the escaped fuel.

Note


  • In case of having the common rail and/or injectors replaced, must replace injection pipes, too.

  • In case of having the common rail replaced, must replace fuel inlet pipe, too.


  1. INSPECT FUEL PRESSURE LIMITER


    1. Check that there are no leaks from any part of the fuel system at the engine stops.

      If there is fuel leakage, replace these parts.

    2. While cranking or start the engine, check that there are no leaks from any part of the fuel system.

      If there is fuel leakage, replace these parts.

    3. Disconnect the return hose from the common rail.

    4. While cranking the engine, check fuel leaks from the return pipe.

      If there is fuel leakage, replace the common rail assembly. Click here

      *1 Intelligent Tester

      Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.

    6. Start the engine and push the intelligent tester main switch ON.

    7. Select the FUEL LEAK test of ACTIVE TEST mode on the intelligent tester.

    8. If you have no intelligent tester, depress the accelerator pedal quickly and fully to increase the engine speed at maximum and keep it for 2 seconds. Repeat this operation several times.

    9. Check that there are no leaks from any part of the fuel system.

      Note

      However, if the leakage from the return pipe is less than 10 cc (0.6 cu in.) in a minute, it is acceptable.

      If there is fuel leakage, replace these parts.

    10. Reconnect the return hose to the common rail.
