ECT Between 10-35 Degrees C (50-95 Degrees F)

Test Description

Caution: Wrap a shop towel around the fuel pressure connection in order to reduce the risk of fire and personal injury. The towel will absorb any fuel leakage that occurs during the connection of the fuel pressure gauge. Place the towel in an approved container when the connection of the fuel pressure gauge is complete.

2. The engine coolant temperature affects the ability of the fuel injector tester to detect a faulty fuel injector. If the engine coolant temperature 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). Component Tests and General Diagnostics
3. The first second of the voltage displayed by the DVM may be inaccurate due to the initial current surge, therefore, record the lowest voltage 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). The voltage (displayed by the DVM may increase throughout the test as the fuel injector windings warm and the resistance of the fuel injector windings changes. An erratic voltage reading (large fluctuations in voltage that do not stabilize) indicates an intermittent connection within the fuel injector.
