Fuel Injector Balance Test-Fuel Pressure Test
WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
- Install a fuel pressure gauge. Refer to Fuel Pressure Gauge Installation and Removal (CH 48027) or Fuel Pressure Gauge Installation and Removal (CH 48027-100) .
- Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF.
- The fuel pump relay may need to be commanded ON a few times in order to obtain the highest possible fuel pressure.
- DO NOT start the engine.
- Command the fuel pump relay ON with a scan tool.
- Observe the fuel pressure gauge with the fuel pump commanded ON. The fuel pressure should be 345-414 kPa (50-60 psi).
- If the fuel pressure is not within the specified range, refer to Fuel System Diagnosis (Except Saturn) Fuel System Diagnosis (Saturn) .
- Monitor the fuel pressure gauge for one minute. The fuel pressure should not decrease more than 34 kPa (5 psi).
- If the fuel pressure decreases more than 34 kPa (5 psi), refer to Fuel System Diagnosis (Except Saturn) Fuel System Diagnosis (Saturn) .
- Perform the Fuel Injector Balance Test with Special Tool, the Fuel Injector Balance Test with Tech 2, or the Fuel Injector Balance Test with the Active Fuel Injector Tester.
