Nissan Maxima Service and Repair Manual: Fuel injector
Description
The fuel injector is a small, precise solenoid valve. When the ECM supplies a ground to the fuel injector circuit, the coil in the fuel injector is energized. The energized coil pulls the ball valve back and allows fuel to flow via the fuel injector into the intake manifold. The amount of fuel injected depends upon the injection pulse duration.
Pulse duration is the length of time the fuel injector remains open.
The ECM controls the injection pulse duration based on engine fuel needs.
Component Function Check
1.INSPECTION START
Turn ignition switch to START.
2.CHECK FUEL INJECTOR FUNCTION
With CONSULT
- Start engine.
- Perform "POWER BALANCE" in "ACTIVE TEST" mode with CONSULT.
- Check that each circuit produces a momentary engine speed drop.
Without CONSULT
- Start engine.
- Listen to each fuel injector operating sound.
Clicking sound should be heard.
Diagnosis Procedure
1.CHECK FUEL INJECTOR POWER SUPPLY CIRCUIT
- Turn ignition switch OFF.
- Disconnect fuel injector harness connector.
- Turn ignition switch ON.
- Check the voltage between fuel injector harness connector and ground.
2.DETECT MALFUNCTIONING PART
Check the following.
- 10 A fuse (No. 35)
- IPDM E/R harness connector E10
- Harness for open or short between fuel injector and fuse
3.CHECK FUEL INJECTOR OUTPUT SIGNAL CIRCUIT FOR OPEN AND SHORT
- Turn ignition switch OFF.
- Disconnect ECM harness connector.
- Check the continuity between fuel injector harness connector and ECM harness connector
- Also check harness for short to ground and short to power.
4.CHECK FUEL INJECTOR
5.CHECK INTERMITTENT INCIDENT
Component Inspection
1.CHECK FUEL INJECTOR
- Turn ignition switch OFF.
- Disconnect fuel injector harness connector.
- Check resistance between fuel injector terminals as per the following.

Ignition signal
Description
The ignition signal from the ECM is sent to and amplified by the power
transistor. The power transistor turns
ON and OFF the ignition coil primary circuit. This ON/OFF operation induces the
proper high voltage in the coil
secondary circuit.
