Section 04 FUEL SYSTEM
Subsection 01 (ELECTRONIC FUEL INJECTION (EFI))
Start engine and make sure it operates normally
through its full engine RPM range. If fault codes
DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM AND
appear, refer to
FAULT CODES
subsection for more information.
TROUBLESHOOTING
DIAGNOSTIC TIPS
Engine problems are not necessarily related to the
fuel injection system.
It is important to ensure that the engine and
propulsion system, fuel delivery and electrical
systems are functioning normally.
For diagnostics purposes, use B.U.D.S. software.
See
COMMUNICATION TOOLS AND B.U.D.S.
subsection.
After a problem has been solved, be sure to clear
the fault(s) in the ECM using the B.U.D.S. soft-
ware.
WARNING
Electrical actuators and electronic modules
may be powered up as soon as the ignition
switch is set to ON and emergency engine
stop switch is set to RUN. Always disconnect
the battery prior to disconnecting any elec-
trical or electronic parts.
Never use a battery charger to temporarily substi-
tute the battery as it may cause the ECM to func-
tion erratically, or not at all.
Check related-circuit fuse solidity and condition
with an ohmmeter. A visual inspection could lead
to a false diagnosis.
Electrical Related Problems
It is important to check the following in the elec-
trical system:
– Battery voltage
– Fuses
– Ground connections
– Wiring and connectors.
Ensure that all electronic components are genuine
OEM. Any modification to the wiring harness may
lead to poor system operation or generate fault
codes.
Electrical Connections
Pay particular attention to ensure that terminals
and pins are not out of their connectors, corroded,
or out of shape.

When probing terminals, pay attention not to de-
form the terminals as this could cause a loose or
intermittent connection that would be difficult to
troubleshoot.
PROCEDURES
ENGINE CONTROL MODULE
(ECM)
NOTE: As a first troubleshooting step, always
check for applicable fault codes using B.U.D.S.
software.
Quick Test to Validate ECM Operation
Turn ignition key to ON.
Set emergency engine stop switch to RUN.
NOTE: This wakes up the ECM, which then turns
on the following. If the following do not turn on,
check ECM fuse (PF1 F6) and key switch fuse
(FP1 F8).
QUICK INDICATION THAT ECM IS FUNCTIONING
(assuming the observed component is
in good working order)
Multifunction gauge turns ON.
Fuel pump turns on for approx. 5 seconds.
Rear lights turn on.
Headlamps turn on (ignition key on with lights
position).
ECM Access
Refer to
BODY
and remove the LH panel.
