DTC P1235 High Pressure Fuel Pump Circuit

DESCRIPTION

The high pressure side fuel pump is attached to the insulator, which is attached to the cylinder head cover. The pump activates according to the position of the cam on the exhaust side camshaft (right bank).


The high pressure side fuel pump increase the pressure of the fuel supplied from the fuel pump in the fuel tank to 4 to 13 MPa (40.8 to 132.6 kgf/cm, 580 to 1,885 psi) according to the operating condition, and it feeds the fuel to the fuel delivery pipe.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

  • HINT:
  • Read freeze frame data using the intelligent tester. Freeze frame data records the engine conditions when malfunctions are detected. When troubleshooting, freeze frame data can help determine if the vehicle was running or stopped, if the engine was warmed up or not, if the air-fuel ratio was lean or rich, and other data from the time the malfunction occurred .
1.INSPECT FUEL PUMP FOR HIGH PRESSURE
Dtc P1235  High Pressure Fuel Pump Circuit. 4GR-FSE ENGINE CONTROL SYSTEM. Lexus IS250 IS220d GSE20 ALE20

Disconnect the E41 fuel pump for high pressure connector.

Measure the resistance of the fuel pump for high pressure.

  • Standard resistance:
  • Tester ConnectionConditionSpecified Condition
    1 - 220°C (68°F)1.19 to 1.39 Ω

Reconnect the fuel pump for high pressure connector.

2.CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (INJECTOR DRIVER - HIGH PRESSURE SIDE FUEL PUMP)
Dtc P1235  High Pressure Fuel Pump Circuit. 4GR-FSE ENGINE CONTROL SYSTEM. Lexus IS250 IS220d GSE20 ALE20

Disconnect the E58 injector driver (EDU) connector.

Disconnect the E41 high pressure side fuel pump connector.

Measure the resistance of the wire harness side connectors.

  • Standard resistance (Check for open):
  • Tester ConnectionSpecified Condition
    FP+ (E58-3) - E41-1Below 1 Ω
    FP- (E58-4) - E41-2Below 1 Ω
  • Standard resistance (Check for short):
  • Tester ConnectionSpecified Condition
    FP+ (E58-3) or E41-1 - Body ground10 kΩ or higher
    FP- (E58-4) or E41-2 - Body ground10 kΩ or higher

Reconnect the injector driver (EDU) connector.

Reconnect the high pressure side fuel pump connector.

REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR
OK
3.INSPECT ECM (FPD AND FPF1 VOLTAGE)
Dtc P1235  High Pressure Fuel Pump Circuit. 4GR-FSE ENGINE CONTROL SYSTEM. Lexus IS250 IS220d GSE20 ALE20

Start the engine, and check the waveforms between terminals FPF1 and E1, and FPD and E1 of the E6 and E4 ECM connectors.

  • HINT:
  • The correct waveform is as shown in the illustration.
ECM Terminal NameCH1: FPD (E6-33) - E1 (E4-7)
CH2: FPF1 (E6-32) - E1 (E4-7)
Tester Range2 V/DIV.

4.CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (INJECTOR DRIVER - ECM)
Dtc P1235  High Pressure Fuel Pump Circuit. 4GR-FSE ENGINE CONTROL SYSTEM. Lexus IS250 IS220d GSE20 ALE20

Disconnect the E6 ECM connector.

Disconnect the E26 injector driver (EDU) connector.

Measure the resistance of the wire harness side connectors.

  • Standard resistance (Check for open):
  • Tester ConnectionSpecified Condition
    FPF1 (E6-32) - FPF1 (E26-7) Below 1 Ω
    FPD (E6-33) - FPD (E26-8) Below 1 Ω
  • Standard resistance (Check for short):
  • Tester ConnectionSpecified Condition
    FPF1 (E6-32) or FPF1 (E26-7) - Body ground10 kΩ or higher
    FPD (E6-33) or FPD (E26-8) - Body ground10 kΩ or higher
