Symptom:
*CHECKING FUEL PRESSURE LEAK DOWN
POSSIBLE CAUSES
CHECKING FUEL PRESSURE
FUEL PUMP MODULE
CHECKING FUEL LEAK DOWN
TEST ACTION APPLICABILITY
1 Warning: The fuel system is under a constant pressure (even with the engine
off). Before testing or servicing any fuel system hose, fitting or line, the fuel
system pressure must be released.
Install a fuel pressure gauge.
Start the engine and observe the fuel pressure reading.
NOTE: Fuel pressure specification is 400 KPa +/- 34 KPa (58 psi +/- 5 psi).
Turn the ignition off.
Monitor the fuel pressure gauge for a minimum of 5 minutes.
NOTE: The pressure should not fall below 241 KPa (35 psi)
Does the fuel pressure gauge fall below the above specification?
All
Yes → Go To 2
No → Fuel System is operating normally.
Perform POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST VER-2-NGC.
2 NOTE: Before continuing visually and physically inspect the fuel delivery
system for external leaks or damage. Repair /replace as necessary.
Turn the ignition off.
WARNING: The fuel system is under a constant pressure even with the
engine off. Before testing or servicing any fuel system hose, fitting or line,
the fuel system pressure must be released.
Install special 5/16 fuel line adapter tool #6539.
Attach a fuel pressure test gauge to the T fitting on the tool #6539
Start the engine and allow the fuel system to reach maximum pressure.
Turn the ignition off.
NOTE: Fuel specification is 400 KPa +/- 34 KPa (58 psi +/- 5 psi).
Using special tool #C4390, Hose Clamp Pliers, slowly clamp off the rubber hose on
the Fuel Pressure adapter between the fuel pressure gauge and the engine.
Monitor the fuel pressure gauge for a minimum of 5 minutes.
NOTE: The pressure should not fall below 241 KPa (35 psi)
Does the fuel pressure gauge fall below the above specification?
All
Yes → Check the Fuel Delivery System between the fuel gauge and the
fuel pump module. Inspect the seal points and the fuel lines for
signs of fuel leakage. Repair/Replace as necessary. If OK, replace
the Fuel Pump Module.
Perform POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST VER-2-NGC.
No → Check the Fuel Delivery System between the fuel gauge and the
fuel pump module. Inspect the seal points and the fuel lines for
signs of fuel leakage. Repair/Replace as necessary. If OK, replace
the Fuel Pump Module.
