Warning
• Fuel line spills and leakage are dangerous. Fuel can ignite and cause serious injuries or death and damage. Fuel can also irritate skin and eyes. To prevent this, always complete the “Fuel Line Safety Procedure”.
• Fuel line spills and leakage are dangerous. Fuel can ignite and cause serious injuries or death and damage. Fuel can also irritate skin and eyes. To prevent this, before performing the fuel pump unit removal/installation, always complete the “Fuel Leak Inspection After Fuel Pump Unit Installation”.
• A person charged with static electricity could cause a fire or explosion, resulting in death or serious injury. Before draining fuel, make sure to discharge static electricity by touching the vehicle body.
Caution
• Because the fuel tank is constructed such that the fuel level is higher than the installation surface of the fuel pump, fuel leakage could occur. If the fuel gauge indicates a fuel level of half or more, perform the following Steps 3-6 to drain approx. 10 L {11 US gal, 8.8 lmp gal} of fuel.
• Disconnecting/connecting the quick release connector without cleaning it may possibly cause damage to the fuel pipe and quick release connector. Always clean the quick release connector joint area before disconnecting/connecting using a cloth or soft brush, and make sure that it is free of foreign material.

1.Level the vehicle.

2.Complete the “BEFORE SERVICE PRECAUTION”. (See BEFORE SERVICE PRECAUTION [L5].) (See BEFORE SERVICE PRECAUTION [L3 Turbo].)

Caution
• The fuel pump could be damaged if it is operated while there is no fuel in the fuel tank. Verify the amount of fuel being discharged from the hose and stop operation of the fuel pump when essentially no fuel is being discharged.

6.When essentially no fuel is being discharged, stop the fuel pump.

Using M-MDS
1. Using the simulation function “FP”, stop the fuel pump. (See ON-BOARD DIAGNOSTIC TEST [L5].) (See ON-BOARD DIAGNOSTIC TEST [L3 Turbo].)
Without using M-MDS
