Test Description
2002 Chevrolet Venture LT, AWDSECTION Test Description
The numbers below refer to the step numbers in the diagnostic procedure.
- 2
This step verifies that fuel pump is operating. - 4
This step tests for an internal fuel leak. If fuel pressure drops during this test, an internal loss of pressure is indicated. - 6
This step tests fuel pressure regulator. Fuel pressure regulator is controlled by engine vacuum. With engine vacuum applied, pressure should drop specified value. - 9
This step inspects fuel pressure regulator for a fuel leak from vacuum port. If fuel leaks from fuel pressure regulator while fuel pump is commanded ON, replace fuel pressure regulator. - 10
This step tests for a loss of fuel pressure between fuel feed pipe shut-off adapter and fuel pump. - 11
This step tests for a leaking fuel injector, or fuel pressure regulator. If fuel pressure remains constant during this test, fuel injectors are not leaking fuel. - 14
This step tests for a restricted fuel return pipe. If fuel pressure is within specified values, a restriction in fuel return pipe is indicated. - 16
This step determines if fuel pressure regulator, or fuel pump, is cause of low fuel pressure. If pressure rises above specified value, fuel pump is okay. - 18
This step verifies that a circuit condition is not the cause of a fuel pressure concern. Inspect all fuel pump electrical circuits thoroughly.
