OPERATION

• Power is supplied from the engine control relay

(terminal No. 4) to the fuel pressure control sole-
noid valve (terminal No. 1).

• The engine-ECU (terminal No. 48) causes the

power transistor in the unit to be ON to supply
power to the fuel pressure control solenoid valve
(terminal No. 2).

FUNCTION

• In response to a signal from the engine-ECU, the

fuel pressure control solenoid valve switches the
pressure to be introduced into the fuel pressure
regulator between the intake manifold negative
pressure and atmospheric pressure.

TROUBLE JUDGMENT

Check Condition

• Battery voltage is 10 V or more.

Judgment Criterion

• Surge voltage cannot be detected within 1 sec-

onds from the time when the fuel pressure control
solenoid valve has changed from ON to OFF.

PROBABLE CAUSES

• Failed fuel pressure control solenoid valve

• Open/short circuit in fuel pressure control sole-

noid valve circuit or loose connector contact

• Failed engine-ECU

DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE

STEP 1. M.U.T.-II/III actuator test

• Item No. 09: Fuel pressure control solenoid valve

OK: Operating sound can be heard and the
valve vibrates.

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES :

Intermittent malfunction (Refer to GROUP

00

− How to Use

Troubleshooting/Inspection Service Points)

P.00-5

.

NO :

Go to Step 2 .

STEP 2. Connector check: B-28 fuel pressure
control solenoid valve connector

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES :

Go to Step 3 .

NO :

Repair or replace the connector.

STEP 3. Perform resistance measurement at B-28
fuel pressure control solenoid valve connector.

• Disconnect connector, and measure at solenoid

valve side.

• Resistance between terminal No. 1 and No. 2.

OK: 28

− 36 Ω (at 20°C)

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES :

Go to Step 4 .

NO :

Replace the fuel pressure control solenoid
valve.

STEP 4. Perform voltage measurement at B-28
fuel pressure control solenoid valve connector.

• Disconnect connector, and measure at harness

side.

• Ignition switch: "ON"

• Voltage between terminal No. 1 and earth.

OK: System voltage

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES :

Go to Step 6 .

NO :

Go to Step 5 .

STEP 5. Connector check: B-12X engine control
relay connector

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES :

Check and repair harness between B-28

(terminal No. 1) fuel pressure control
solenoid valve connector and B-12X
(terminal No. 4) engine control relay
connector.

• Check power supply line for

open/short circuit.

NO :

Repair or replace the connector.

STEP 6. Perform voltage measurement at C-119
engine-ECU connector.

• Disconnect connector, and measure at harness

side.

• Ignition switch: "ON"

• Voltage between terminal No. 48 and earth.

OK: System voltage

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES :

Go to Step 8 .

NO :

Go to Step 7 .

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES :

Check and repair harness between B-28

(terminal No. 2) fuel pressure control
solenoid valve connector and C-119
(terminal No. 48) engine-ECU connector.

• Check output line for open/short

circuit.

NO :
