HC11 CHECK THE FUEL PRESSURE LEAKDOWN

Note: When the fuel pump is commanded off, the fuel pressure may substantially decrease and then stabilize.

Note: During output state control, the fuel pump stays commanded on for only about 5 seconds. Be aware that output state control turns the FP off after a calibrated time. If this happens, command the output ON to continue testing.

• Mechanical fuel pressure gauge connected.

• Ignition ON, engine OFF.

• Access the PCM and control the FP (MODE) PID.

• Run the fuel pump to obtain maximum fuel pressure.

• Command the fuel pump OFF.

• Allow the fuel pressure to stabilize.

• Record the stabilized reading.

• Monitor the fuel pressure for 1 minute.

Does the fuel pressure remain within 34 kPa (5 psi) of the recorded reading (MRFS) or greater than 275 kPa (40 psi) (ERFS) after 1 minute?
