Fuel Pump Module
Removal and Installation
WARNING: Do not smoke, carry lighted tobacco or have an open flame of any type when working on or near any fuel-related component. Highly flammable mixtures are always present and may be ignited. Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious personal injury.
WARNING: Do not carry personal electronic devices such as cell phones, pagers or audio equipment of any type when working on or near any fuel-related component. Highly flammable mixtures are always present and may be ignited. Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious personal injury.
WARNING: Before working on or disconnecting any of the fuel tubes or fuel system components, relieve the fuel system pressure to prevent accidental spraying of fuel. Fuel in the fuel system remains under high pressure, even when the engine is not running. Failure to follow this instruction may result in serious personal injury.
WARNING: When handling fuel, always observe fuel handling precautions and be prepared in the event of fuel spillage. Spilled fuel may be ignited by hot vehicle components or other ignition sources. Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious personal injury.
WARNING: Always disconnect the battery ground cable at the battery when working on an evaporative emission (EVAP) system or fuel-related component. Highly flammable mixtures are always present and may be ignited. Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious personal injury.
NOTE: The Fuel Pump (FP) module has a serviceable fuel level sender. For additional information, refer to Fuel Level Sender Fuel Level Sender.
All vehicles
1. Release the fuel system pressure.
2. Disconnect the battery ground cable.
3. Carefully turn the fuel tank filler cap counterclockwise approximately one-fourth turn until the thread disengages and position aside.
4. Insert a suitable semi-rigid fuel drain tube (approximately 120-in long) into the fuel tank filler pipe until it enters the fuel tank.
5. NOTE: If the fuel tank is completely full, this step will lower the fuel level below the FP module mounting flange.
Attach the Fuel Storage Tanker to the fuel drain tube and drain one-eighth of a tank (approximately 3 gallons) of the fuel from a full tank.
6. Remove the rear seat.
7. Remove the 4 bolts and the FP module access cover.
8. NOTE: Clean the FP module connection, coupling, flange surface and the immediate surrounding area of any dirt or foreign material.
Disconnect the FP module electrical connector.
9. Disconnect the fuel tank jumper tube-to-FP module quick connect coupling.
10. NOTE: Place absorbent pads on the floor pan in the immediate area in case of fuel spills. Carefully remove the FP module from the vehicle to avoid fuel spillage inside the vehicle.
Using the Fuel Tank Sender Unit Wrench, remove the FP module lock ring.
All-Wheel Drive (AWD) vehicles
11. NOTICE: The Fuel Pump (FP) module must be handled carefully to avoid damage to the float arm.
Carefully lift the FP module out of the fuel tank enough to access and disconnect the internal fuel tube-to-FP module quick connect coupling.
All vehicles
12. NOTE: The FP module will have residual fuel remaining internally, drain into a suitable container.
Completely remove the FP module from the fuel tank.
13. NOTE: Inspect the mating surfaces of the FP module flange and the fuel tank O-ring seal contact surfaces. Do not polish or adjust the O-ring seal contact area of the fuel tank flange or the fuel tank. Install a new FP module or fuel tank if the O-ring seal contact area is bent, scratched or corroded.
NOTE: Install a new lock ring if it is bent, damaged or corroded.
NOTE: To install, apply clean engine oil to the O-ring seal.
Remove the FP module O-ring seal.
14. NOTE: Make sure the alignment tab on the FP module and the fuel tank meet before tightening the FP module lock ring.
To install, reverse the removal procedure.
- Install a FP module O-ring seal.
