1. CHECK FUEL PUMP OPERATION
(a) Connect a TOYOTA hand-held tester or OBD II scan tool to the DLC3.
(b) Turn the ignition switch ON, and press the TOYOTA hand-held tester or OBD II scan tool main switch ON.
NOTICE: Do not start the engine.
(c) Select the ACTIVE TEST mode on the TOYOTA handheld tester or OBD II scan tool.
(d) Please refer to the TOYOTA hand-held tester or OBD II scan tool operator's manual for further details.
(e) If you have no TOYOTA hand-held tester or OBD II scan tool, connect the positive (+) and negative (-) leads from the battery to the fuel pump connector. (See step 3) (f) Disconnect the fuel return hose from the clamp on the Vbank cover.
(g) Remove the 2 bolts, nuts and V-bank cover.
(h) Check that the pulsation damper screw pop up when the fuel pump operates.
If operation is not as specified, check following parts:
(i) Turn the ignition switch OFF.
(j) Disconnect the TOYOTA hand-held tester or OBD II scan tool from the DLC3.
2. CHECK FUEL PRESSURE
(a) Check the battery positive voltage is above 12 V.
(b) Disconnect the negative (-) terminal cable from the battery.
(c) Remove the front fuel pipe from the LH delivery pipe (SF-22 ).
(d) Install the front fuel pipe and SST (pressure gauge) to the delivery pipe with the 3 lower gaskets and SST (adaptor).
SST 09268-45014 (09268-41190, 90405-06167)
Torque: 39 N·m (400 kgf·cm, 29 ft·lbf)
(e) Wipe off any splattered gasoline.
(f) Reconnect the negative (-) terminal cable to the battery.
(g) Connect a TOYOTA hand-held tester or OBD II scan tool to the DLC3 (See (a) to (e) in step 1 on the check fuel pump operation).
(h) Measure the fuel pressure.
Fuel pressure: 265 - 304 kPa (2.7 - 3.1 kgf/cm2, 38 - 44 psi)
If pressure is higher than the specification, replace the fuel pressure regulator.
If pressure is lower than the specification, check these parts:
(i) Disconnect the TOYOTA hand- held tester from the DLC3.
(j) Start the engine.
(k) Measure the fuel pressure at idle.
Fuel pressure: 265 - 304 kPa (2.7 - 3.1 kgf/cm2, 38 - 44 psi)
(l) Stop the engine.
(m) Check that the fuel pressure remains in the specification below for 5 minutes after the engine stop.
Fuel pressure: 147 kPa (1.5 kgf/cm2, 21 psi) or more
If the pressure is not as specified, check the fuel pump, pressure regulator and/or the injectors.
(n) After checking the fuel pressure, disconnect the negative (-) terminal cable from the battery and carefully remove the SST to prevent gasoline from splashing.
SST 09268-45014
(o) Reinstall the front fuel pipe to the LH delivery pipe (SF-27 ).
(p) Reconnect the negative (-) terminal cable to the battery.
(q) Check for fuel leaks (SF-1 ).
(r) Reinstall the V-bank cover with the 2 bolts and nuts.
(s) Reconnect the fuel return hose to the clamp on the Vbank cover.
3. INSPECT FUEL PUMP
(a) Remove the No.1 rear seats.
(b) Remove the 2 rear door scuff plates, the step plates and the rear seat lock covers.
(c) Pull off the front and rear floor carpets.
(d) Remove the 2 screws and the rear floor service hole cover.
(e) Disconnect the fuel pump & sender gauge connector.
(f) Using an ohmmeter, measure the resistance between terminal 4 and 5.
Resistance: 0.2 - 3.0 W at 20C (68F)
If the resistance is not as specified, replace the fuel pump and/ or the lead wire.
(g) Inspect the fuel pump operation.
Connect the battery positive (+) lead to terminal 4 of the connector, and the battery negative (-) lead to terminal 5.
Check that the fuel pump operates.
NOTICE:
If operation is not as specified, replace the fuel pump and/or lead wire.
(h) Reconnect the fuel pump & sender gauge connector.
(i) Reinstall the rear floor service hole cover with the 2 screws.
(j) Reinstall the front and rear floor carpets.
(k) Remove the 2 rear door scuff plates, the step plates and the rear sear lock covers.
(l) Reinstall the No.1 rear seats.
