Description and operation
Installed
on the delivery pipe, the Rail Pressure Sensor (RPS) measures the
instantaneous fuel pressure in the delivery pipe. The sensing element
(semiconductor element) built in the sensor converts the pressure into a
voltage signal, which is used by the ECM to precisely control the
injection amount and time. Also, if the actual pressure calculated from
the sensor output signal differs from the target rail pressure, it
controls the rail pressure by using the rail pressure control valve.

| 1. | Release the residual pressure in fuel line.
(Refer to Fuel Delivery System - “Release Residual Pressure in Fuel Line”)
|
| 2. | Turn the ignition switch OFF and disconnect the battery negative (-) terminal. |
| 3. | Remove the intake manifold.
(Refer to Engine Mechanical System - “Intake Manifold")
|
| 4. | Remove the delivery pipe & injector assembly.
(Refer to Fuel Delivery System - “Delivery Pipe")
|
| 5. | Disconnect the rail pressure sensor connector (A), and then remove the sensor (B) from the delivery pipe.
Rail Pressure Sensor:
30.0 - 35.0 N·m (3.1 - 4.1 kgf·m, 22.1 - 29.5 lb·ft) |

The high-pressure cooling system has
a reservoir filled with year round antifreeze
coolant. The reservoir is filled at
the factory.
Check the antifreeze protection and
coolant level at least once a year, at the
beginning of the winter season, and before
traveling to a colder climate.
