PROCEDURE
PRECAUTION
Note
After turning the power switch off, waiting time may be required before disconnecting the cable from the negative (-) auxiliary battery terminal. Therefore, make sure to read the disconnecting the cable from the negative (-) auxiliary battery terminal notice before proceeding with work.
DISCHARGE FUEL SYSTEM PRESSURE
REMOVE BATTERY BOX COVER
DISCONNECT CABLE FROM NEGATIVE AUXILIARY BATTERY TERMINAL
Note
When disconnecting the cable, some systems need to be initialized after the cable is reconnected.
REMOVE REAR SEAT ASSEMBLY
REMOVE REAR FLOOR SERVICE HOLE COVER
Remove the rear floor service hole cover.
Disconnect the fuel pump connector.
DISCONNECT FUEL TANK MAIN TUBE SUB-ASSEMBLY
| *1 | Tube Joint Clip |
| *2 | Fuel Suction Plate Sub-assembly |
| *a | Fuel Tube Joint |
| *b | O-ring |
| *c | Nylon Tube |
Remove the tube joint clip, and pull off the fuel tube joint of the fuel tank main tube sub-assembly.
Note
Remove any foreign matter on the fuel tube joint before performing this work.
Do not allow any scratches or foreign matter to get on the parts when disconnecting them as the fuel tube joint has O-rings that seal the fuel pipe.
Only disconnect the fuel tube joint by hand.
Do not forcibly bend, twist or turn the nylon tube.
Protect the disconnected part by covering it with a plastic bag after disconnecting the fuel tube joint.
If the fuel tube joint and fuel suction plate sub-assembly are stuck, push and pull to release them.
DISCONNECT NO. 1 FUEL EVAPORATION TUBE SUB-ASSEMBLY
Slide the clip and disconnect the No. 1 fuel evaporation tube sub-assembly from the fuel suction tube with pump and gauge assembly.
DISCONNECT NO. 1 CHARCOAL CANISTER OUTLET HOSE
Disconnect the No. 1 charcoal canister outlet hose from the fuel suction tube with pump and gauge assembly.
REMOVE FUEL PUMP GAUGE RETAINER
| *a | SST (Plate) |
| *b | SST (Claw) |
| *c | SST (Bolt) |
| *d | Rib |
Temporarily install SST (plate and claws) to the fuel pump gauge retainer.
Tech Tips
Engage SST (claws) securely with the fuel pump gauge retainer ribs to secure SST.
While pressing SST (claws) against the fuel pump gauge retainer ribs securely, tighten SST (bolts).
Tech Tips
Install SST while pressing SST (claws) toward the fuel pump gauge retainer (towards the center of SST).
Install SST (handle).
| *a | SST (Handle) |
| *b | SST (Plate) |
| *c | SST (Claw) |
Lightly press down on SST to prevent it from separating from the fuel pump gauge retainer. While pressing down on SST, rotate SST (handle) slowly to loosen the fuel pump gauge retainer.
Note
Do not use any tools other than specified in this operation as this may result in damage to the fuel pump gauge retainer or the fuel tank assembly.
Do not press down on SST excessively as this may make the fuel pump gauge retainer hard to rotate, and may damage components.
Make sure to rotate SST (handle) horizontally. If it is rotated at an angle, SST may come off.
Do not spin SST too fast or use an impact wrench as this may result in damage to components.
If SST comes off of the fuel pump gauge retainer, loosen SST (bolts) and reinstall SST.
Tech Tips
The ribs on the fuel pump gauge retainer can be fitted into the tips of SST.
Remove the fuel pump gauge retainer while holding the fuel suction tube with pump and gauge assembly by hand.
REMOVE FUEL SUCTION TUBE WITH PUMP AND GAUGE ASSEMBLY
Remove the fuel suction tube set gasket from the fuel tank assembly.
Note
Make sure that the fuel sender gauge arm does not bend.
| *1 | Fuel Suction Tube Set Gasket |
Remove the fuel suction tube set gasket from the fuel tank assembly.
