FUEL SYSTEMS
| WARNING | ALWAYS release fuel pressure before disconnecting any fuel injection-related component. DO NOT allow fuel to contact engine or electrical components. |
Note. On Camry CNG models, fuel pump is not used and information is not available from manufacturer for checking fuel pressure. For testing of fuel system components, see FUEL SYSTEMS in SYSTEM & COMPONENT TESTING - 4-CYLINDER article.
Note. On all models except Camry CNG models, basic diagnosis of fuel system should begin by checking fuel pump operation and fuel pressure.
FUEL SYSTEM PRESSURE RELEASE
| CAUTION | On Camry CNG models, fuel system is under extreme pressure. Proper fuel system pressure release procedure must be followed to prevent personal injury. Ensure fuel system pressure release procedure is performed in well ventilated area. |
Note. On Camry CNG models, 2 different fuel system pressure release procedures exist. Procedure using fuel manual shutoff valve releases fuel pressure in fuel system components and fuel lines from fuel manual shutoff valve forward. Procedure for disconnecting fuel tank fuel shutoff valve and fuel tank fuel temperature sensor releases fuel pressure in fuel system for servicing of fuel tank and fuel lines between fuel tank and fuel manual shutoff valve.

Procedure Using Fuel Manual Shutoff Valve
Scheme 16
- Rotate handle on fuel manual shutoff valve to CLOSED position. Fuel manual shutoff valve is located near driver's side rear tire, underneath the vehicle, near fuel lines just below fuel tank behind the rear seat. (Scheme 16)
- Start engine and allow engine to idle until engine stalls. Ensure fuel gauge indicates EMPTY. If fuel gauge does not indicate EMPTY, restart engine and allow engine to idle again until engine stalls. If engine will not start, crank engine for a few seconds to release any residual fuel pressure. Turn ignition off. Wait at least 5 seconds after turning ignition off and then disconnect negative battery cable. Fuel pressure should be released from the fuel lines and fuel system components may be serviced.
Procedure For Disconnecting Fuel Tank Fuel Shutoff Valve & Fuel Tank Fuel Temperature Sensor

- Disconnect spark plug wires. Remove spark plugs. Install spark plug on each spark plug wire. Ground spark plug against cylinder block.
- Crank engine and check for spark. If spark does not exist, check ignition coil electrical connections. If electrical connections are okay, go to next step. If electrical connections are defective, repair as necessary and recheck for spark.
- Using ohmmeter, check resistance of spark plug wire. Replace spark plug wire if resistance exceeds 25,000 ohms per wire. If resistance is within specification, go to next step.
- Turn ignition on. Using voltmeter, check for battery voltage at ignition coil positive terminal. See appropriate wiring diagram in «WIRING DIAGRAMS»(ref-3309) article. If battery voltage exists, go to next step. If battery voltage does not exist, check wiring between ignition switch and ignition coil.

NOTE: On Celica, it may be necessary to check operation of IG2 relay by using wiring diagram. See appropriate wiring diagram in «WIRING DIAGRAMS»(ref-3309) article. IG2 fuse supplies constant battery voltage to one side of IG2 relay. When ignition is turned on, voltage is supplied from ignition switch to other side of IG2 relay and IG2 relay is then energized. When IG2 relay is energized, IG2 relay provides battery voltage to ignition coils and fuel injectors. IG2 relay is located in fuse/relay box at driver's side front corner of engine compartment, just in front of strut tower, near battery.

If no faults were found while performing BASIC DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURES, proceed to appropriate SELF-DIAGNOSTICS article. If no hard diagnostic trouble codes are found in self-diagnostics, proceed to TROUBLE SHOOTING - NO CODES article for diagnosis by symptom (i.e., ROUGH IDLE, NO START, etc.) or intermittent diagnostic procedures.
