Fuel Pressure Control System
1994 Toyota Tercel DX, 4D Sedan, StandardSECTION Fuel Pressure Control System
- Fuel pressure control system uses a fuel pressure control Vacuum Switching Valve (VSV). Fuel pressure control VSV is supplied voltage through EFI main relay.
- Engine Control Module (ECM) will activate VSV by controlling ground circuit for approximately 90 seconds when restarting engine at normal operating temperature. Locate and remove fuel pressure control VSV. See FUEL PRESSURE CONTROL VSV LOCATION table.NOTE: Fuel pressure control VSV may also be identified using appropriate illustration in THEORY/OPERATION article or wire color. See appropriate wiring diagram in articles listed below:

- Using ohmmeter, check resistance and for continuity between fuel pressure control VSV electrical terminals. Replace fuel pressure control VSV if no continuity exists or resistance is not within specification. See FUEL PRESSURE CONTROL VSV RESISTANCE SPECIFICATIONS table.
- Ensure no continuity exists between each electrical terminal and fuel pressure control VSV body. Replace fuel pressure control VSV if continuity exists between electrical connector and fuel pressure control VSV body.
- Check fuel pressure control VSV operation by applying air pressure to designated area and checking air passage, and then applying battery voltage and ground and retesting. See Fig 1. Replace fuel pressure control VSV if defective.
