Inspection Procedure

HINT:

Read freeze frame data using Techstream. The ECM records vehicle and driving condition information as freeze frame data the moment a DTC is stored. When troubleshooting, freeze frame data can be helpful in determining whether the vehicle was running or stopped, whether the engine was warmed up or not, whether the air/fuel ratio was lean or rich, as well as other data recorded at the time of a malfunction (See FREEZE FRAME DATA ).

1. CHECK FUEL LEAK (HIGH PRESSURE SIDE) 
   1. Check around and beneath the car for gasoline leaks, fumes, etc.

      OK: 

      No gasoline leaks present. 

   NG: REPAIR OR REPLACE FUEL SYSTEM 

   OK: Go to next step 

2. CHECK OTHER DTCS OUTPUT (IN ADDITION TO DTC P0087) 
   1. Connect Techstream to the DLC3.
   2. Turn the engine switch on (IG) and turn the tester on.
   3. Clear DTCs.
   4. Start the engine.
   5. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Trouble Codes.
   6. Read the DTCs using Techstream.

      Display (DTC output)	Proceed to
      P0087	A
      P0087 and other DTCs	B

      HINT:

      If any codes other than P0087 are output, perform troubleshooting for those DTCs first.

   B: GO TO DTC CHART

   A: Go to next step 

3. CONFIRM IF VEHICLE HAS RUN OUT OF FUEL IN PAST 
   1. Has the vehicle run out of fuel in past?

   YES: DTC CAUSED BY RUNNING OUT OF FUEL 

   NO: Go to next step 

4. CHECK MISFIRE COUNT (CYL #10, #20, #30, #40, #50 AND #60) 
   1. Connect Techstream to the DLC3.
   2. Start the engine and warm up the engine.
   3. Turn the tester ON.
   4. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Active Test / Control the Injection Way / Direct. (Procedure "A")
   5. Allow the engine to idle.
   6. Monitor all of the misfire rate values that are displayed on the tester (example: Cylinder #1). If no misfire counts occur for any of the cylinders, perform the following procedure: (Procedure "B")
      1. Shift the gear selector lever to the D position.
      2. Repeat procedure "A" to "B" above.
      3. Monitor all of the misfire rate values that are displayed on the tester (example: Cylinder #1).

         Misfire Count	Proceed to
         No misfire counts, or misfire counts occur randomly in all cylinders	A
         Misfire counts occur in particular cylinder	B

   B: REPLACE FUEL INJECTOR FOR DIRECT INJECTION 

   A: Go to next step 

5. CHECK FUEL PRESSURE SENSOR 
   1. Connect Techstream to the DLC3.
   2. Start the engine.
   3. Turn the tester on.
   4. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Active Test / Control the Target Fuel Pressure / Fuel Press.
   5. Check that the fuel pressure fluctuates when the target fuel pressure changes.

      HINT:

      The Control the Target Fuel Pressure operation lowers the target fuel pressure by 12.5% or increase the target fuel pressure by 25%.

      Inspection Result	Proceed to
      Fuel pressure does not fluctuate	A
      Fuel pressure fluctuates In accordance with tester operation	B
      Fuel pressure pulsates	C

   A: REPLACE FUEL PRESSURE SENSOR 

   B:  Go to step  8

   C: Go to next step 

6. CHECK FUEL PUMP (FUEL PUMP OPERATION) 
   1. Check the fuel pump operation (See ON-VEHICLE INSPECTION ).

   NG: REPLACE FUEL PUMP 

   OK: Go to next step 

7. CHECK FUEL PRESSURE (LOW PRESSURE SIDE) 
   1. Check the fuel pressure (low pressure side) (See ON-VEHICLE INSPECTION ).

      OK: 

      Idle: 

      196 to 588 kPa (2 to 6 kgf/km ²  , 28 to 85 psi) 

      5 minutes after engine has stopped: 

      147 kPa (1.5 kgf/km ²  , 21 psi) or more 

   NG: REPLACE FUEL PRESSURE REGULATOR 

   OK: Go to next step 

8. CHECK FUEL LEAK (HIGH PRESSURE FUEL LINE) 
   1. Connect Techstream to the DLC3.
   2. Turn the engine switch on (IG) and turn Techstream on.
   3. Enter the following menus: Powertrain Engine and ECT / Data List / Fuel Press.
   4. Start the engine.
   5. Check that the fuel pressure fluctuations when the engine switch is turned off.

      HINT:

      Turn the engine switch off and on (IG) before checking the fuel pressure.
