System Function Check: Notes

The following tests should be performed if components and circuits checked previously are found to be operating properly. This then verifies that the faults depend on the injection system. If a fault is found, replace the control unit. System function is checked by measuring voltage at injectors under different operating conditions.

NOTE: Specific meter values are not important. What is important, however, are the changes in meter deflection during different operating conditions.
