During this test, the injector solenoids will produce an audible clicking sound when actuated. It is possible to detect a malfunctioning injector by listening for the absence of the solenoid clicking sound.‪

At the completion of the injector test, any faults that have been detected will be displayed. Additional faults can be accessed by pressing the ↓ key.‪

Record any faults found and refer to “12.1 General Instructions”
