Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
On-Vehicle Inspection
- REMOVE V-BANK COVER
- Using a 5 mm hexagon wrench, remove the 3 cap nuts.
- Loosen the V-bank cover fastener counterclockwise.
- Remove the V-bank cover.
- INSPECT INJECTOR OPERATION
Check operation sound from each injector.
- With the engine running or cranking, use a sound scope to check that there is normal operating noise in proportion to engine speed.
- If you have no sound scope, you can check the injector operating vibration with your finger.
If no sound or unusual sound is heard, check the wiring connector, injector or injection signal from the ECM.
- INSPECT INJECTOR RESISTANCE
- Disconnect the injector connector.
- Using an ohmmeter, measure the resistance between the terminals.
Resistance: 13.4 - 14.2 Ω. at 20°C (68°F)
If the resistance is not as specified, replace the injector.
- Reconnect the injector connector.
- REINSTALL V-BANK COVER
- Using 5 mm hexagon wrench, install the V-bank cover with the 3 cap nuts.
