Kia Sportage: Fuel Delivery System / Fuel pressure test (low pressure system)
| Fuel Pressure Test (Low
pressure system) |
| 1. |
Release the residual pressure in fuel line.
(Refer to the Fuel Delivery System - Inspection - "Release Residual
Pressure in Fuel Line").
|
When removing the fuel pump fuse, a Diagnostic Trouble Code
(DTC) may occur. Delete the code with the KDS/GDS after completion
of “Release Residual Pressure in Fuel Line” work.
|
|
| 2. |
Install the Special Service Tool (SST).
| (1) |
Disconnect the fuel feed tube from the delivery pipe.
|
There may be some residual pressure even after “Release
Residual Pressure in Fuel Line” work, so cover the hose
connection with a shop towel to prevent residual fuel
from spilling out before disconnecting any fuel connection.
|
|
| (2) |
Install the special service tool for measuring the fuel pressure
in between the fuel feed tube and the fuel delivery pipe (Refer
to the figure below).
|
|
| 3. |
Inspect fuel leakage on connections among the low fuel feed tube, the
low pressure inlet of high pressure fuel pump, and the SST components
with IG ON.
|
| 4. |
Measure Fuel Pressure.
| (1) |
Start the engine and measure the fuel pressure at idle.
|
Fuel Pressure: Over 290 kPa (Over 2.9 bar, Over 2.95
kgf/cm², Over 42.06 psi)
|
|
If the fuel pressure differs from the standard value,
repair or replace the related part (Refer to the table
below).

| (2) |
Stop the engine, and then check for the change in the fuel pressure
gauge reading.
|
Standard Value: The gauge reading should hold for about
5 minutes after the engine stops
|
|
If the gauge reading should not be held, repair or replace
the related part (Refer to the table below).

When removing the fuel pump fuse, a Diagnostic Trouble Code
(DTC) may occur. Delete the code with the KDS/GDS after completion
of “Release Residual Pressure in Fuel Line” work.

| 6. |
Test End
| (1) |
Remove the Special Service Tool (SST) from the low pressure
fuel feed tube and the low pressure inlet of high pressure fuel
pump.
|
| (2) |
Connect the low pressure fuel feed tube and the low pressure
inlet of high pressure fuel pump.
