-DIAGNOSTICS-
The fuel system is now ready to perform diagnostic tests. The Leakdown Test has to be
performed prior to the pre-cleaning procedure to eliminate the possibility of a leaky
injector. If an injector is leaking and the operator continues without testing, a cylinder
may fill with gasoline and cause serious engine damage or possible engine failure. For
instructions on how to perform all of the diagnostic tests, refer to the Vehicle
Diagnostic section (see Page 23 ). Once completed, continue with Step 10 below.
