WARNINGIn case of removing the high pressure fuel pump, high pressure fuel pipe, delivery pipe, and injector, there may be injury caused by leakage of the high pressure fuel. So don't do any repair work right after engine stops.

Scheme 4

Scheme 4: Fuel Pressure Test
  1. Release the residual pressure in fuel line. (Refer to Fuel Delivery System - " «RELEASE RESIDUAL PRESSURE IN FUEL LINE»(/hyundai/santa-fe/iii-2012-2016/remont/fuel-system/#fuel-delivery-system__release-residual-pressure-in-fuel-line) ") CAUTION: When removing the fuel pump relay, a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) may occur. Delete the code with the GDS after completion of "Release Residual Pressure in Fuel Line" work.
  2. Install the Special Service Tool (SST). Disconnect the fuel feed tube from the high pressure fuel pump. CAUTION: 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. Install the special service tool for measuring the fuel pressure in between the fuel feed tube and the high pressure fuel pump (Refer to the (Scheme 4) below).
  3. Inspect fuel leakage on connections among the fuel feed tube, the high pressure fuel pump, and the SST components with IG ON.
  4. Measure Fuel Pressure. Start the engine and measure the fuel pressure at idle. Fuel Pressure: 480 ~ 520 kPa (4.9 ~ 5.3 kgf/cm 2, 69.6 ~ 75.4 psi) NOTE: If the fuel pressure differs from the standard value, repair or replace the related part (Refer to the table below). Fuel Pressure Cause Related Part Too Low Fuel filter clogged Fuel Filter Fuel leakage Fuel Pressure Regulator Too High Fuel pressure regulator stuck Fuel Pressure Regulator 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 NOTE: If the gauge reading should not be held, repair or replace the related part (Refer to the table below). Fuel Pressure (After Engine Stops) Cause Related Part Fuel Pressure Drops Slowly Leakage on injector Injector Fuel Pressure Drops Immediately Check valve of fuel pump stuck open Fuel Pump Turn the ignition switch OFF.
  5. Release the residual pressure in fuel line. (Refer to Fuel Delivery System - " «RELEASE RESIDUAL PRESSURE IN FUEL LINE»(/hyundai/santa-fe/iii-2012-2016/remont/fuel-system/#fuel-delivery-system__release-residual-pressure-in-fuel-line) ") CAUTION: When removing the fuel pump relay, a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) may occur. Delete the code with the GDS after completion of "Release Residual Pressure in Fuel Line" work.
  6. Test End Remove the Special Service Tool (SST) from the fuel feed tube and the high pressure fuel pump. Connect the fuel feed tube and the high pressure fuel pump.

Release Residual Pressure in Fuel Line

CAUTIONWhenever the high pressure fuel pump, fuel pipe, delivery pipe, or injector is removed immediately after shutting off the engine, an injury may be caused by the release of highly pressurized fuel. Release the residual pressure in the high pressure fuel line by referring to the "Residual fuel pressure release procedure" below before removing any high pressure fuel system components.

Note. Wear safety glasses and fuel resistant gloves.

  3. Disconnect the electrical connector from the high pressure fuel pump.
  4. Reconnect the battery negative cable.
  5. Run the engine for about 20 seconds to lower the pressure in both the high or low pressure lines. The engine may shut off within the 20 second period. If not, turn the engine off.
  6. Proceed with the service or repair. Use rags to cover opening and catch spills when opening up the high pressure system.
  7. Reinstall/re-connect all components in reverse order of removal. Start engine and confirm proper operation, and make sure there are no fuel leaks.
  8. After completing, clear DTC(s) using GDS scan tool (the procedure described above will cause DTC to set).

CAUTIONBefore installing the high pressure fuel pump, position the roller tappet in the lowest position by rotating the crankshaft. Otherwise the installation bolts may be broken because of tension of the pump spring.
CAUTIONDo not reuse the used bolt.
CAUTIONDo not reuse the used high pressure fuel pipe.
CAUTIONWhen tightening the installation bolts of the high pressure fuel pump, tighten in turn the bolts in small step (0.5 turns) after tightening them with hand-screwed torque.
CAUTIONInstall the component with the specified torques. First hand-tighten the fasteners fully until they are not fastened any more in order to have them inserted in place and then completely tighten to the specified torque using a torque wrench. If not tightening the bolts or nuts in a straight line with the mating bolt holes or fittings, it may cause a fuel leak due to broken threads.
