Test Description

The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table:

The engine coolant temperature (ECT) affects the ability of the fuel injector tester to detect a faulty fuel injector. If the ECT is NOT between 10°C-35°C (50°F-95°F), go to Fuel Injector Coil Test Procedure-Engine Coolant Temperature Outside 10°C-35°C (50°F-95°F).

The first second of the voltage displayed by the DVM may be inaccurate due to the initial current surge. Record the lowest voltage that is displayed by the DVM after the first second of the test. The voltage displayed by the DVM should be within the specified range. Refer to the example below. The voltage displayed by the DVM may increase throughout the test when the fuel injector windings warm, and when the resistance of the fuel injector windings changes. An erratic voltage reading, indicated by large voltage fluctuations that do not stabilize, indicates an intermittent connection within the fuel injector.

Engine Coolant Temperature Between 10°C - 35°C (50°F - 95°F) Test Procedure

Step	Action	Value(s)	Yes	No
1	Did you perform the Powertrain On-Board Diagnostic (OBD) System Check?	--	Go to Step 2	Go to Powertrain On Board Diagnostic (OBD) System Check
2	Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF. Use a scan tool in order to monitor the ECT parameter. Is the temperature between the specified values?	10°C-35°C (50°F-95°F)	Go to Step 3	Go to Fuel Injector Solenoid Coil Test - Engine Coolant Temperature Between 10-35 Degrees C (50-95 Degrees F)
3	Important: The fuel system must not be pressurized. Relieve the fuel pressure. Refer to Fuel Pressure Relief Disconnect the fuel injector electrical connector. Connect the J 39021 fuel injector tester. Select the coil test 0.5 AMP position on the fuel injector tester. Connect the leads from the DMM to the fuel injector tester. and select the DC voltage tenths scale. Press the PUSH TO START TEST button on the Fuel Injector Coil/Balance Tester. Record the lowest voltage after the first second of the test. Repeat this procedure for each fuel injectors. Did any fuel injector have an erratic reading or have a voltage reading that is outside the specified range?	5.7-6.6 volts	Go to Step 4	Go to Fuel Injector Balance Test
4	Replace the faulty fuel injectors. Refer to Fuel Injector Replacement Did you complete the replacement?	--	Go to Step 5	--
5	Does any driveability condition still exist?	--	Go to Applicable Diagnostic	System OK
