3. Disconnect the fuel pump module connector.

4. After starting the engine and letting it run until it stops

naturally, turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF)
position.

5. Connect the fuel pump module connector.

6. Install the hole cover (LHS).

Tightening torque: 1.5

± 0.5 N⋅m (14 ± 4 in-lb)

7. Install the rear seat cushion assembly (Refer to GROUP

52A, Rear Seat Assembly

P.52A-55

).

FUEL PUMP OPERATION CHECK

M1131002000692

1. If the fuel pump will not operate, check by using the

following procedure. If normal, check the fuel pump drive
circuit.

(1) Turn the ignition switch to "ON". Listen for fuel pump

running for approximately 2 seconds. Pump will
automatically stop after this time.

NOTE: As the fuel pump is an in-tank type, the fuel pump
sound is hard to hear. Remove the fuel tank filler tube cap
and check from the tank inlet.

(2) Remove the rear seat cushion assembly (Refer to

GROUP 52A, Rear Seat

P.52A-55

).

(3) Remove the hole cover (LHS).

(4) Disconnect the fuel pump module connector.

(5) Attach 12 Volt supply to fuel pump, terminal no. 4 to earth

and terminal no.5 to power. Check if the sound of the fuel
pump operation can be heard. If no operating sound is
heard, replace the fuel pump module (Refer to GROUP
13B, On-vehicle Service

− Fuel Pump Module

Replacement

P.13B-6

).

NOTE: As the fuel pump is an in-tank type, the fuel pump
sound is hard to hear. Remove the fuel tank filler tube cap
and check from the tank inlet.

(6) Check for fuel pressure by pinching the fuel hose with

fingertips.

(7) Connect the fuel pump module connector.
(8) Install the hole cover (LHS).

Tightening torque: 1.5

± 0.5 N⋅m (14 ± 4 in-lb)

(9) Install the rear seat cushion assembly (Refer to GROUP

INTAKE AIR TEMPERATURE SENSOR CHECK

M1131002800557

1. Disconnect the mass airflow sensor connector.(Refer to

GROUP 15, Air Cleaner, Removal and Installation

P.15-4

)

2. Measure resistance between terminals 1 and 3.

Standard value:

12.66

− 15.12 kΩ [at -20°C (-4°F)]

5.119

− 5.892 kΩ [at 0°C (32°F)]

2.290

− 2.551 kΩ [at 20°C (68°F)]

1.096

− 1.258 kΩ [at 40°C (104°F)]

0.565

− 0.654 kΩ [at 60°C (140°F)]

0.312

− 0.370 kΩ [at 80°C (176°F)]

3. If not within specifications, replace the mass airflow sensor.
4. Measure resistance while heating the sensor using a hair

dryer.

Normal condition:

5. If resistance does not decrease as heat increases, replace

the mass airflow sensor.

CAUTION

Do not remove Air Temperature Sensor unit from the
housing. If sensor is faulty replace complete Air Flow Sen-
sor assembly.

ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE SENSOR
CHECK

M1131003100528

CAUTION

Be careful not to touch the connector (resin section) with
the tool when removing and installing.
1. Drain engine coolant, then remove the engine coolant

temperature sensor.

2. With the temperature sensing portion of engine coolant

temperature sensor immersed in hot water, check the
resistance.

Standard value:

14

− 17 kΩ [at -20°C (-4°F)]

5.5

− 6.3 kΩ [at 0°C (32°F)]

2.35

− 2.65 kΩ [at 20°C (68°F)]

1.12

− 1.23 kΩ [at 40°C (104°F)]

0.573

− 0.618 kΩ [at 60°C (140°F)]

0.313

− 0.332 kΩ [at 80°C (176°F)]
