3. INSTALL THE SPECIAL SERVICE TOOL (SST) FOR MEASURING THE FUEL PRESSURE 

1. Disconnect the fuel feed hose from the delivery pipe. 

2. Install the Fuel Pressure Gauge Adapter (09353-38000) between the delivery pipe and the fuel feed 

hose.  

3. Connect the Fuel Pressure Gauge Connector (09353-24000) to the Fuel Pressure Gauge Adapter 

NOTE:

Be sure to reduce the fuel pressure before disconnecting the fuel 
feed hose, otherwise fuel will spill out.

CAUTION: Cover the hose connection with a shop towel to prevent 

splashing of fuel caused by residual pressure in the fuel line.

4. INSPECT FUEL LEAKAGE ON CONNECTION 

1. Connect the battery negative (-) terminal.  

2. Apply battery voltage to the fuel pump terminal and activate the fuel pump. With fuel pressure 

applied, check that there is no fuel leakage from the fuel pressure gauge or connection part.  

5. FUEL PRESSURE TEST 

1. Disconnect the negative (-) terminal from the battery.  

2. Connect the fuel pump connector.  

3. Connect the battery negative (-) terminal.  

4. Start the engine and measure the fuel pressure at idle. 

Standard Value: 374-384 kPa (3.82-3.92 kgf/cm

 , 54.3-55.8 psi)

 



If the measured fuel pressure differs from the standard value, perform the necessary repairs.
