NORMAL OPERATING CONDITION

NORMAL OPERATING CONDITION

Fuel Cut Control (at No Load and High Engine Speed)

INFOID:0000000006158951

INPUT/OUTPUT SIGNAL CHART

*: This signal is sent to the ECM through CAN communication line.

SYSTEM DESCRIPTION

If the engine speed is above 1,800 rpm under no load (for example, the shift position is neutral and engine

speed over is 1,800 rpm) fuel will be cut off after some time. The exact time when the fuel is cut off varies

based on engine speed.

Fuel cut will be operated until the engine speed reaches 1,500 rpm, then fuel cut will be cancelled.

NOTE:

This function is different from deceleration control listed under

EC-23, "System Description"

.

FUEL PRESSURE

Fuel Pressure Check

INFOID:0000000006158957

FUEL PRESSURE RELEASE

With CONSULT-III

1. Turn ignition switch ON.
2. Perform “FUEL PRESSURE RELEASE” in “WORK SUPPORT” mode with CONSULT-III.
3. Start engine.
4. After engine stalls, crank it two or three times to release all fuel pressure.
5. Turn ignition switch OFF.

Without CONSULT-III

1. Remove fuel pump fuse located in IPDM E/R.
2. Start engine.
3. After engine stalls, crank it two or three times to release all fuel

pressure.

4. Turn ignition switch OFF.
5. Reinstall fuel pump fuse after servicing fuel system.

FUEL PRESSURE CHECK

CAUTION:

• Before disconnecting fuel line, release fuel pressure from fuel line to eliminate danger.

• Be careful not to scratch or get the fuel hose connection area dirty when servicing, so that the quick

connector o-ring maintains sealability.

• Use Fuel Pressure Gauge Kit J-44321 and Fuel Pressure Adapter J-44321-6 to check fuel pressure.

• Do not perform fuel pressure check with electrical system operating (i.e. lights, rear defog, A/C, etc.).

Fuel pressure gauge may indicate false readings due to varying engine loads and changes in mani-

fold vacuum.

NOTE:

Prepare pans or saucers under the disconnected fuel line because the fuel may spill out. The fuel pres-

sure cannot be completely released because A60 models do not have fuel return system.
1. Release fuel pressure to zero. Refer to "FUEL PRESSURE RELEASE".
2. Remove engine cover.
3. Remove fuel hose using Quick Connector Release J-45488. Refer to

EM-26, "Removal and Installation"

.

• Do not twist or kink fuel hose because it is plastic hose.

• Do not remove fuel hose from quick connector.

• Keep fuel hose connections clean.

4. Install Fuel Pressure Adapter J-44321-6 and Fuel Pressure

Gauge (from kit J-44321) as shown in figure.

• Do not distort or bend fuel rail tube when installing fuel pres-

sure gauge adapter.

• When reconnecting fuel hose, check the original fuel hose for

damage and abnormality.

5. Turn ignition switch ON (reactivate fuel pump), and check for

fuel leakage.

6. Start engine and check for fuel leakage.
7. Read the indication of fuel pressure gauge.

• During fuel pressure check, check for fuel leakage from fuel

connection every 3 minutes.
