    See step  4

  4. READ FREEZE FRAME DATA (TARGET FUEL PRESSURE (LOW) / TARGET FUEL PRESSURE 2 AND LOW FUEL PRESSURE SENSOR) 
    1. Using the GTS, confirm the vehicle conditions recorded in the Freeze Frame Data which were present when the DTC was stored.

      HINT: 

      • Check the Freeze Frame Data sets recorded the moment the DTC was stored and after the DTC was stored.
      • Using the Freeze Frame Data, confirm the vehicle conditions when the DTC was stored, such as if the engine was idling with the shift state P, D or N or if the vehicle was being driven at a constant speed or accelerating.

      Powertrain > Engine > DTC (P0087-00) > Freeze Frame Data 

      Tester Display
      Target Fuel Pressure (Low) / Target Fuel Pressure 2
      Low Fuel Pressure Sensor
    2. Compare the difference in pressure between "Target Fuel Pressure (Low) / Target Fuel Pressure 2 and Low Fuel Pressure Sensor".

      Result

      Result Proceed to
      Difference between Target Fuel Pressure (Low) / Target Fuel Pressure 2 and Low Fuel Pressure Sensor is within 200 kPa A
      Difference between Target Fuel Pressure (Low) / Target Fuel Pressure 2 and Low Fuel Pressure Sensor is more than 200 kPa B

    Result: 

    GO TO FUEL PUMP CONTROL CIRCUIT. Refer to  Fuel Pump Control Circuit [11/2021 - ] 

    Result: 

    See step  5

      Misfire Count Cylinder #2
      Misfire Count Cylinder #3
      Misfire Count Cylinder #4

      Result

      Injection Mode Misfire Count Proceed to
      Direct There are no misfire counts A
      3 cylinders or more have misfire counts
      1 or 2 cylinders have misfire counts B

      HINT: 

      Perform "Inspection After Repair" after replacing the direct fuel injector assembly.

      Refer to INITIALIZATION [11/2021 - ]

    Result: 

    REPLACE DIRECT FUEL INJECTOR ASSEMBLY. Refer to  REMOVAL [11/2021 - ]
