WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Mazda 3. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
WARNING:
- Fuel line spills and leakage from the pressurized fuel system are dangerous. Fuel can ignite and cause serious injury or death and damage. To prevent this, complete the following inspection with the engine stopped.
- Follow "BEFORE SERVICE PRECAUTION" before performing any work operations to prevent fuel from spilling from the fuel system. (See BEFORE SERVICE PRECAUTION .)
- Disconnect the negative battery cable.
- Disconnect the quick release connector (in the engine compartment). (See QUICK RELEASE CONNECTOR (FUEL SYSTEM) REMOVAL/INSTALLATION .)
- Turn the lever of the SST parallel to the hose as shown in the figure.
- Insert the SST quick release connector into the fuel pipe until a click is heard.
- Verify that the quick release connector is firmly connected by pulling it by hand.
- Connect the negative battery cable.
- Ground the following PCM terminals using a jumper wire.
- With immobilizer system: 1AR
- Without immobilizer system: 1AQ
- Turn the ignition switch to the ON position to start the fuel pump.
- Operate the fuel pump for 10 s.
- Measure the fuel line pressure.
- If not within the specification, inspect the following:
If it less than the specification:
- Fuel pump unit
- Fuel line leakage
If it exceeds the specification:
- Pressure regulator
- Fuel pressure (Reference) 350--410 kPa {3.57--4.18 kgf/cm 2 , 50.8--59.4 psi}
- If not within the specification, inspect the following:
- Turn the ignition switch to the LOCK position to stop the fuel pump.
- Measure the fuel hold pressure after 5 min.
- If not within the specification, inspect the following:
- Fuel line for clogging or leakage
- Fuel hold pressure (Reference) 250 kPa {2.55 kgf/cm 2 , 36.2 psi} or more
- If not within the specification, inspect the following:
- Disconnect the SST.
- Connect the quick release connector. (See QUICK RELEASE CONNECTOR (FUEL SYSTEM) REMOVAL/INSTALLATION .)
- Inspect all related parts by performing "AFTER SERVICE PRECAUTION". (See AFTER SERVICE PRECAUTION .)

- • You smell fuel, burning insulation, or see smoke.
- • Brakes feel soft, pull hard to one side, or make grinding noises.
- • The engine overheats, stalls repeatedly, or misfires under load.
- • You are missing required tools, torque specs, or safe lifting equipment.
- • You are not confident in the next step or safety outcome.
