WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 8 other vehicles, including the 2002 Lexus SC 430, 2002 Lexus RX 300, 2002 Lexus LX 470, 2002 Lexus LS 430, and 2002 Lexus IS 300. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Ensure battery is fully charged. Release fuel pressure. See FUEL PRESSURE RELEASE . Disconnect negative battery cable.
- Note location of fuel inlet hose on fuel pipe support. See Fig 1. Remove union bolt with gaskets, and disconnect fuel inlet hose from fuel pipe support.
- Using Adapter (SST 09268-41190), Union (SST 90405-06167) and fuel pressure gauge from Fuel Pressure Gauge Set (SST 09268-45014) with gaskets, install fuel pressure gauge and fuel inlet hose. See Fig 1. Tighten adapter to 21 ft. lbs. (29 N.m). Install negative battery cable.
- Connect scan tool to Data Link Connector (DLC) No. 3, located under left side of instrument panel. Turn ignition on. DO NOT start engine. Turn scan tool on. Select ACTIVE TEST MODE on scan tool. Using scan tool manufacturer's instructions, activate fuel pump and note fuel pressure. Fuel pressure should be 44-50 psi (3.1-3.5 kg/cm2
).NOTE: Fuel pump may also be activated by connecting battery voltage to specified terminals on fuel pump. See Figure.
- If fuel pressure is within specification, go to next step. If fuel pressure exceeds specification, replace fuel pressure regulator mounted on fuel pump in fuel tank. See FUEL SYSTEM in REMOVAL, OVERHAUL & INSTALLATION article. If fuel pressure is less than specified, check for leaking fuel hoses or connections, restricted fuel filter, defective fuel pump or fuel pressure regulator.
- Remove scan tool from DLC No. 3. Start engine and note fuel pressure with engine idling. Fuel pressure should be 44-50 psi (3.1-3.5 kg/cm2 ).
- Shut engine off and note fuel pressure. Fuel pressure should remain at least 21 psi (1.5 kg/cm2 ) for a minimum of 5 minutes. If fuel pressure holds as specified, go to next step. If fuel pressure does not hold as specified, check for defective fuel pump, fuel injector or fuel pressure regulator.
- Release fuel pressure. Disconnect negative battery cable. Remove adapter, union and fuel pressure gauge. Reinstall fuel inlet hose on fuel pipe support using NEW gasket. Tighten union bolt to 21 ft. lbs. (29 N.m). Install negative battery cable. Check for fuel leaks by using scan tool to energize fuel pump.

When to See a Mechanic
Stop DIY work and contact a certified mechanic immediately if any of the following apply:
- • 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.
