Fuel Injector: Inspection

2009 Toyota Yaris S, 4D HatchbackSECTION Inspection
  1. INSPECT FUEL INJECTOR ASSEMBLY 
    1. Check the resistance.
      1. Using an ohmmeter, measure the resistance between the terminals.

        Standard resistance: 11.6 to 12.4 Ω at 20°C (68°F) 

        If the result is not as specified, replace the injector assembly.

    2. Check the operation.
      CAUTION: Perform the inspection in a well-ventilated area. Do not perform the inspection near any naked flames.
      1. Connect SST (fuel tube connector) to SST (hose), then connect them to the fuel pipe (vehicle side).

        SST 09268-31012 (90467-13001, 95336-08070, 09268-41500) 

      2. Install the O-ring onto the fuel injector assembly.

      3. Connect SST (adaptor and hose) to the injector assembly, and hold the injector assembly and union with SST (clamp).

        SST 09268-31012 (09268-41110, 90467-13001, 95336-08070, 09268-41310)

      4. Set the injector assembly in a graduated cylinder.
        CAUTION: Install a suitable vinyl tube onto the injector assembly to prevent gasoline splashes.
      5. Operate the fuel pump (see ON-VEHICLE INSPECTION  ).
      6. Connect SST (wire) to the injector assembly and the battery for 15 seconds, and measure the injection volume with the graduated cylinder. Test each injector 2 or 3 times.

        SST 09842-30080 

        Injection volume: 47 to 58 cm 3  (2.9 to 3.5 cu in.) per 15 seconds 

        Difference between each injector: 11 cm 3  (0.6 cu in.) or less 

        NOTE: Always do the switching at the battery side.

        If the injection volume is not as specified, replace the injector assembly.

    3. Check the leakage.
      1. In the condition above, disconnect the test probes of SST (wire) from the battery and check the injector for fuel leakage.

        Fuel drop: 1 drop or less every 12 minutes

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.
