Injectors

ON–VEHICLE INSPECTION

1. INSPECT

INJECTOR

OPERATION

Check operation sound from each injector.
(a) With the engine running or cranking, use a stethescope

to check that there is normal operating noise in
proportion to engine rpm.

(b) If you have no stethescope, you can check the injector

transmission operation with your finger.

If no sound or an unusual sound is heard, check the wiring
connector, injector or injection signal from the ECU.

2. INSPECT

INJECTOR

RESISTANCE

(a) Disconnect the injector connector.
(b) Using an ohmmeter, measure the resistance between

the terminals.

Resistance: 13.4–14.2

at 20

°

C (68

°

F)

If the resistance is not as specified, replace the injector.
(c) Reconnect the injector connector.
