Fuel Injector: Testing and Inspection

INJECTOR CHECK

[Checking the Operation Sound]





Using a stethoscope or long blade screwdriver, check the operation sound ("tick-tick-tick") of injectors during idling or during cranking. Check that as the engine speed increases, the frequency of the operating sound also increases.
1. If the injector you are checking is not operating, you may hear the operating sound of the other injectors.
2. If no operating sound is heard from the injector that is being checked, check the injector drive circuit. If there is nothing wrong with the circuit, a defective injector or engine control module (ECM) is suspected.

[Checking the Coil Resistance]

1. Disconnect the injector connector.





2. Measure the resistance between terminal No. 1 and terminal No. 2.
Standard value: 10.5 - 13.5ohms [at 20°C (68°F)]
3. If not within specification, replace the injector.
4. Connect the injector connector.
