Using the SST (104 Pin Breakout Box)

NOTE: The following vacuum values are indicated by relative pressure from atmospheric pressure.

1. Disconnect the PCM connector.




2. Connect the SST (104 Pin Breakout Box) to the PCM as shown.
3. Tighten the connector bolt.

Tightening torque : 7.9 - 10.7 N.m {80 - 100 kgf.cm, 69.5 - 95.4 in.lbf}

CAUTION: Do not apply vacuum outside the specified limits. Doing so will damage the fuel tank pressure sensor.

4. Turn the ignition switch to ON.




5. Apply pressure then vacuum to the fuel tank pressure sensor according to the following procedure.

NOTE: The output voltage varies with the measuring condition.

Specification:




6. Decrease the applied pressure from +6.66 kPa {+50 mmHg, +197 inHg} to -6.66 kPa {-50 mmHg, -1.97 inHg} and verify that the PCM terminal 62 voltage decreases accordingly as specified.




- If not as specified, inspect the following harness continuity and terminal voltage.
- Input voltage: 5.0 V
- Atmospheric pressure: 101.3 kPa {760 mmHg, 29.9 inHg} (Absolute pressure)
- Atmospheric temperature: 3 - 100 °C {0 - 182 °F}

1. Harness continuity
- Between PCM terminal 91 and fuel tank pressure sensor terminal A
- Between PCM terminal 62 and fuel tank pressure sensor terminal B
- Between PCM terminal 90 and fuel tank pressure sensor terminal C

2. If there is no continuity, repair or replace related harness.

3. Terminal voltage (Ignition switch ON)
- Fuel tank pressure sensor terminal A voltage: Ground (Below 1.0 V)
- Fuel tank pressure sensor terminal C voltage: Constant voltage (4.5 - 5.5 V)

4. If terminal voltage is incorrect, check the PCM.

7. If terminal voltage is correct and if there is harness continuity, replace the fuel tank pressure sensor.(See EMISSION SYSTEM (FUEL TANK SIDE) COMPONENT REMOVAL/INSTALLATION.)
