PROCEDURE
PRECAUTION
Note
After turning the engine switch off, waiting time may be required before disconnecting the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal. Therefore, make sure to read the disconnecting the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal notices before proceeding with work.
DISCHARGE FUEL SYSTEM PRESSURE
DISCONNECT CABLE FROM NEGATIVE BATTERY TERMINAL
Note
When disconnecting the cable, some systems need to be initialized after the cable is reconnected.
REMOVE REAR SEAT CUSHION ASSEMBLY
REMOVE REAR SEAT CUSHION LOCK HOOK
REMOVE REAR FLOOR SERVICE HOLE COVER
| *a | Protective Tape |
Using a clip remover with its tip wrapped with protective tape, remove the rear floor service hole cover and butyl tape.
Disconnect the 2 fuel pump connectors.
DISCONNECT FUEL TANK MAIN TUBE SUB-ASSEMBLY
| *1 | Fuel Suction Plate Sub-assembly |
| *2 | Tube Joint Clip |
| *3 | Fuel Tank Main Tube Sub-assembly |
| *a | Fuel Tube Joint |
| *b | O-ring |
| *c | Nylon Tube |
|
Pull off |
|
Pull off |
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 scratch or allow any foreign matter to get on the parts when disconnecting them as the fuel tube connector has O-rings that seal the pipe (fuel pipe).
Be sure to disconnect the fuel tube joint by hand.
Do not bend, twist, pinch or kink 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.
REMOVE FUEL PUMP GAUGE RETAINER
|
Front Side |
Release the lock to remove the No. 1 fuel tube clamp.
Remove the fuel pump gauge retainer.
| *a | Insertion Point |
| *b | SST (Plate) |
| *c | SST (Claw) |
| *d | SST (Bolt) |
Temporarily install SST (plate) and SST (claw) to the fuel pump gauge retainer.
Tech Tips
Securely insert the ends of SST (claw) into the insertion points in the fuel pump gauge retainer.
While firmly pressing SST (claw) into the insertion points in the fuel pump gauge retainer, tighten SST (bolt).
| *a | SST (Handle) |
| *b | SST (Plate) |
| *c | SST (Claw) |
| *d | SST (Bolt) |
Install SST (handle) to SST (plate).
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 (bolt) and reinstall SST.
While pressing down on the fuel suction tube with pump and gauge assembly, remove the fuel pump gauge retainer.
REMOVE FUEL SUCTION TUBE WITH PUMP AND GAUGE ASSEMBLY
Disconnect the fuel return vent tube sub-assembly and remove the fuel suction tube with pump and gauge assembly from the fuel tank assembly.
Note
Be careful not to bend the arm of the fuel sender gauge assembly.
Do not damage the fuel return vent tube sub-assembly.
When disconnecting the fuel tube connector, do not excessively pull on the fuel return vent tube sub-assembly.
Remove the fuel suction tube set gasket from the fuel tank assembly.
