Fuel Injector: Inspection

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 Toyota RAV4. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

INSPECT FUEL INJECTOR ASSEMBLY
1. Measure the resistance between the injector terminals.
  Standard resistance:
  
  11.6 to 12.4 Ω at 20°C (68°F)
  
  If the result is not as specified, replace the injector.
2. Inspect the injector injection.
  CAUTION: Keep the injector away from sparks during the test.

  1. Connect SST (fuel tube connector) to SST (hose), then connect them to the fuel pipe (vehicle side).
    SST 09268-31011 (09268-41500, 90467-13001, 95336-08070)

  2. Install the O-ring to the fuel injector.
  3. Connect SST (adapter and hose) to the injector, and hold the injector and union with SST (clamp).

  4. Put the injector into the graduated cylinder.
    CAUTION: Install a suitable vinyl tube onto the injector to contain gasoline spray.
  5. Operate the fuel pump.
  6. Connect SST (wire) to the injector and the battery for 15 seconds, and measure the injection volume with the graduated cylinder. Test each injector 2 or 3 times.
    SST 09842-30080
    
    Standard injection volume:
    
    76 to 92 cm ³ (4.6 to 5.6 cu in.) per 15 seconds
    
    Standard difference between each injector:
    
    16 cm ³ (1.0 cu in.) or less

3. Inspect the fuel leakage.
  1. Disconnect the SST (wire) tester probes from the battery and check the fuel leakage from the injector.
    Standard fuel drop:
    
    1 drop or less per 12 minutes
  2. Turn the ignition switch OFF.
  3. Disconnect the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal.
  4. Remove SST.

  5. Disconnect the Techstream from the DLC3.
  6. Reconnect the fuel inlet hose (rear fuel pipe) to the fuel main tube.
