Test 1

  1. Ignition/Vehicle - Off
    2. NOTE:
    • In order to perform step 2 - 5, the fuel temperature must be greater than 10°C (50°F) or misdiagnosis may occur.
    • Leave the electrical connector connected.
  2. Disconnect the component: Fuel Return Hose @ Q18B Fuel Pressure Regulator 2 & Plug the fuel return hose(s) in order to prevent leakage.
  3. Install suitable hose to the component: Outlet @ Q18B Fuel Pressure Regulator 2 & Place the other end of the hose into a suitable container.
  4. Engine - Cranking - Until air is purged from the hose
  5. Engine - Cranking - For 15 s

    Verify the container contains less than 15 mL (0.5 US fl oz)

    • If 15 mL (0.5 US fl oz) or greater
