Quick-Check
Fuel System Test Procedures

To quickly check Fuel Injection we recommend the following:

 

Fuel Injection Testing
Using a Labscope

HOOKUP:

  • Connect the Black ground scope lead to a good vehicle ground.

  • Connect the Red CH1 scope lead to the fuel injector wire that returns to the PCM.

 

SCOPE SETTINGS:

VOLTS/DIV 10V/div
TIME/DIV 1mS/div
SLOPE Falling Edge
Trigger Level 7 Volts
Trigger Mode Auto
  • Position waveform to lower portion of screen. This will allow best observation of the injector spike when injector is turned off.

  • If spike is abnormally high (compared to a known good injector) the injector may be internally shorted drawing excessive current.

  • An abnormally low spike implies high resistance in the injector or the circuit supplying it.

  • Suspected resistance problems can be tested with precision using a Low Amp Clamp with a Labscope.
