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.
Fuel Injector: Inspection
- INSPECT FUEL INJECTOR ASSEMBLY
- Check the resistance.
- 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.
- Using an ohmmeter, measure the resistance between the terminals.
- Check the operation.CAUTION: Perform the inspection in a well-ventilated area. Do not perform the inspection near any naked flames.
- 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)
- Install the O-ring onto the fuel injector assembly.
- 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)
- Set the injector assembly in a graduated cylinder.CAUTION: Install a suitable vinyl tube onto the injector assembly to prevent gasoline splashes.
- Operate the fuel pump (see ON-VEHICLE INSPECTION ).
- 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.
- Connect SST (fuel tube connector) to SST (hose), then connect them to the fuel pipe (vehicle side).
- Check the leakage.
- 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
- In the condition above, disconnect the test probes of SST (wire) from the battery and check the injector for fuel leakage.
- Check the resistance.

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.
