   1	16	1	76
   2	75	2	77
   5	35	5	57
   6	56	6	58

   Continuity should not exist  .

6. Also check harness for short to power.

OK or NG 

1. OK : GO TO 4.
2. NG : Repair open circuit or short to ground or short to power in harness or connectors.

1. Release fuel pressure to zero. Refer to "FUEL PRESSURE RELEASE ".
2. Install fuel pressure gauge and check fuel pressure. Refer to "FUEL PRESSURE CHECK ".

   At idling: Approximately 350 kPa (3.57 kg/cm ²  , 51 psi) 

OK or NG 

1. OK : GO TO  6.
2. NG : GO TO 5.

Check the following.

• Fuel pump and circuit (Refer to "FUEL PUMP ".)
• Fuel pressure regulator (Refer to "FUEL PRESSURE CHECK ")
• Fuel lines (Refer to "CHECKING FUEL LINES ".)
• Fuel filter for clogging
  1. : Repair or replace.

With CONSULT-II 

1. Install all removed parts.
2. Check "MASS AIR FLOW" in "DATA MONITOR" mode with CONSULT-II.

   2.0 - 6.0 g.m/sec: at idling 

   7.0 - 20.0 g.m/sec: at 2, 500 RPM 

With GST 

1. Install all removed parts.
2. Check mass air flow sensor signal in Service $01 with GST.

   2.0 - 6.0 g.m/sec: at idling 

   7.0 - 20.0 g.m/sec: at 2, 500 RPM 

OK or NG 

1. OK (With CONSULT-II) : GO TO 7.
2. OK (Without COUSULT-II) : GO TO  8.
3. NG : Check connectors for rusted terminals or loose connections in the mass air flow sensor circuit or ground. Refer to "DTC P0101 MAF SENSOR ".

With CONSULT-II 

1. Start engine.
2. Perform "POWER BALANCE" in "ACTIVE TEST" mode with CONSULT-II.
3. Make sure that each circuit produces a momentary engine speed drop.

OK or NG 

1. OK : GO TO  10.
2. NG : Perform trouble diagnosis for FUEL INJECTOR, refer to "FUEL INJECTOR ".

Without CONSULT-II 

1. Stop engine.
2. Disconnect harness connectors F33, F221
3. Turn ignition switch ON.

5. Turn ignition switch OFF.
6. Disconnect ECM harness connector.
7. Check harness continuity between harness connector F33 and ECM as follows. Refer to WIRING DIAGRAM .
   HARNESS CONNECTOR TERMINALS AND ECM TERMINALS REFERENCE
   
   

   Cylinder	Harness connector F33 terminal	ECM terminal
   1	6	23
   2	4	42
   3	2	22
   4	3	41
   5	1	21
   6	7	40

   Continuity should exist  .

8. Also check harness for short to ground and short to power.

OK or NG 

1. OK : GO TO 9.
2. NG : Perform trouble diagnosis for FUEL INJECTOR, refer to "FUEL INJECTOR ".

Provide battery voltage between harness connector F221 as follows and then interrupt it. Listen to each fuel injector operating sound.

Operating sound should exist  .

OK or NG 

1. OK : GO TO 10.
2. NG : Perform trouble diagnosis for FUEL INJECTOR CIRCUIT, refer to "FUEL INJECTOR ".

1. Confirm that the engine is cooled down and there are no fire hazards near the vehicle.
2. Turn ignition switch OFF.
3. Reconnect all harness connectors disconnected.
4. Disconnect all fuel injector harness connectors.
5. Remove fuel injector gallery assembly. Refer to "FUEL INJECTOR AND FUEL TUBE ". Keep fuel hose and all fuel injectors connected to fuel injector gallery.
6. For DTC P0171, reconnect fuel injector harness connectors on bank 1. For DTC P0174, reconnect fuel injector harness connectors on bank 2.
7. Disconnect all ignition coil harness connectors.
8. Prepare pans or saucers under each fuel injector.
9. Crank engine for about 3 seconds.

   For DTC P0171, make sure that fuel sprays out from fuel injectors on bank 1.

   For DTC P0174, make sure that fuel sprays out from fuel injectors on bank 2.

   Fuel should be sprayed evenly for each fuel injector  .
