• Intermittent open or short fuel pump related circuit

• Inadequate fuel pressure (high-or low pressure side)

• Fuel pressure sensor or related circuit malfunction

• Suction control valve or related circuit malfunction (built-in high pressure fuel pump)

• Relief valve malfunction (built-in delivery pipe)

• High pressure fuel pump malfunction

• Improper fuel pump speed control operation

• Fuel pump mechanical malfunction

• Fuel line restriction or clogging

• IAT sensor No.2 or related circuit malfunction

• Intermittent open or short circuit MAF sensor, accelerator position sensor, TP sensor and VSS

• ATX malfunction

Warning
The following troubleshooting flow chart contains the fuel system diagnosis and repair
procedures. Read the following warnings before performing the fuel system services:

• Fuel vapor is hazardous. It can easily ignite, causing serious injury and damage. Always

keep sparks and flames away from fuel.

• Fuel line spills and leakage are dangerous. Fuel can ignite and cause serious injury or

death and damage. Fuel can also irritate skin and eyes. To prevent this, always complete
“BEFORE REPAIR ROCEDURE” and “AFTER REPAIR PROCEDURE” described in this
manual.
(See01-14-4 BEFORE REPAIR PROCEDURE[L3 WITH TC].)
(See01-14-4 AFTER REPAIR PROCEDURE[L3 WITH TC].)

Caution

• Disconnecting/connecting the quick release connector without cleaning it may possibly

cause damage to the fuel pipe and quick release connector. Always clean the quick release
connector joint area before disconnecting/connecting, and make sure that it is free of
foreign material.
