FUEL FILTER REPLACEMENT

Tech Tips

If only replacing the fuel filter element sub-assembly, steps 3 through 6 are not necessary.


  1. DISCONNECT CABLE FROM NEGATIVE BATTERY TERMINAL

  2. REMOVE FUEL FILTER ELEMENT SUB-ASSEMBLY


    1. A01CHNKE01

      Disconnect the level warning switch connector.

    2. A01CGOR

      Loosen the drain plug and the air bleed plug as shown in the illustration. Drain the fuel.

      Note


      • Do not use any tools.

      • Do not spill any fuel.

      • If any fuel is spilt on any part of the engine, wipe it clean with a shop rag or a piece of cloth.

    3. A01CHBS

      When fuel stops draining from the drain plug, tighten the drain plug and air bleed plug.

    4. A01CHGGE01

      Disengage the claw. Then, remove the cover by turning it counterclockwise approximately 120°.

    5. A01CHYJE01

      Remove the fuel filter element sub-assembly.

    6. Remove the O-ring from the fuel filter cover.

  3. REMOVE FUEL FILTER ASSEMBLY


    1. A01CHCL

      Disconnect the 2 fuel hoses.

    2. Remove the 2 bolts and the fuel filter assembly.

  4. REMOVE FUEL SEDIMENT FILTER ASSEMBLY


    1. A01CJ95

      Loosen the drain plug as shown in the illustration. Drain the fuel.

    2. When fuel stops draining from the drain plug, tighten the drain plug.

    3. A01CH2G

      Disconnect the 2 fuel hoses.

    4. A01CHQT

      Remove the 2 bolts and the fuel sediment filter assembly.

  5. INSTALL FUEL SEDIMENT FILTER ASSEMBLY


    1. A01CHQT

      Install the fuel sediment filter assembly with the 2 bolts.

      Torque:
      44 N*m  { 449 kgf*cm, 33 ft.*lbf }
    2. A01CH2G

      Connect the 2 fuel hoses.

  6. INSTALL FUEL FILTER ASSEMBLY


    1. Install the fuel filter assembly with the 2 bolts.

      Torque:
      18 N*m  { 180 kgf*cm, 13 ft.*lbf }
    2. A01CHCL

      Connect the 2 fuel hoses.

  7. INSTALL FUEL FILTER ELEMENT SUB-ASSEMBLY


    1. A01CHYJE01

      Install the fuel filter element sub-assembly to the fuel filter cover.

    2. Install the O-ring to the fuel filter cover.

    3. A01CHGGE02

      Install the fuel filter cover by turning it clockwise until the claw is engaged.

    4. A01CHNKE01

      Connect the level warning switch connector.

  8. BLEED AIR FROM FUEL SYSTEM


    1. A01CGS9

      Loosen the fuel filter's air bleed plug.

    2. A01CGKM

      While covering the drain pipe with a shop rag or a piece of cloth, press and release the priming pump until the fuel from the drain pipe does not have any bubbles.

    3. A01CIWK

      Tighten the air bleed plug.

      Note

      Do not use any tools.

  9. CONNECT CABLE TO NEGATIVE BATTERY TERMINAL

  10. INSPECT FOR FUEL LEAK


    1. Perform the Active Test.


      1. Replace the normal DLC3 cable (12 V specification) for the intelligent tester with the 24 V DLC3 cable.

        Note

        Be sure to use the 24 V DLC3 cable when connecting the intelligent tester to the DLC3. Using the normal DLC3 cable (12 V specification) will cause damage to the tester.

      2. Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.

      3. Start the engine.

      4. Turn the intelligent tester on.

      5. Select the following menu items: Powertrain / Engine / Active Test.

      6. Perform the Active Test.

        Tester Display Test Part Control Range Diagnostic Notes
        Test the Fuel Leak Pressurizing common rail internal fuel pressure, and checking for fuel leaks Stop/Start

        • Fuel pressure inside common rail pressurized to specified value and engine speed increased to 2,000 rpm when ON is selected

        • Above conditions preserved while test is ON
