  1. PRECAUTIONS


    1. Before inspecting and repairing the fuel system, disconnect the cable from the negative (-) auxiliary battery terminal.

    2. Do not smoke or work near fire when handling the fuel system.

    3. Keep fuel away from rubber or leather parts.

  2. DISCHARGE FUEL SYSTEM PRESSURE

    CAUTION:


    • Perform the following procedure to prevent fuel from spraying before removing any fuel system parts.

    • Pressure will still remain in the fuel lines even after performing the following procedure. When disconnecting a fuel line, cover it with a piece of cloth to prevent fuel from spraying or coming out.

    Note

    When disconnecting the cable, some systems need to be initialized after the cable is reconnected.


    1. When discharging fuel system pressure by disconnecting the C/OPN relay:


      1. Remove the engine room relay block and junction block assembly cover.

      2. Remove the C/OPN relay.

      3. Set the engine in "inspection mode".
