OWOFX-12
This system supplies the necessary fuel for combustion at a constant pressure to the fuel injectors. Fuel is
metered and injected into the engine intake ports according to injection control signals from the engine con-
trol unit. The system consists of the fuel tank, the fuel pump, the fuel filters, the delivery pipe, the pressure
regulator, the fuel injectors, and the circuit opening relay. ._*

PRECAUTION
Fuel Pressure Release and Servicing Fuel System
Fuel in the fuel system remains under high pressure even when
the engine is not running.
a) Before disconnecting any fuel line, release the fuel pres-
sure from the fuel system to reduce the possibility of injury
or fire.
1. Start the engine.
2. Push the rear seat cushion buttons and remove the
cushion.
3. Disconnect the fuel pump connector.
4. After the engine stalls, turn off the ignition switch.
5. Reconnect the fuel pump connector and install the rear
seat cushion.
b) Use a rag as protection from fuel spray when disconnect-
ing the hoses.
Plug the hoses after removal.
c) When inspecting the fuel system, use a suitable fuel pres-
sure gauge.
Caution
l Install hose clamps to secure the fuel pressure
gauge to the fuel filter and the fuel main hose to pre-
vent fuel leakage.

Priming Fuel System
After releasing the fuel pressure for repairs or inspection, the
system must be primed to avoid excessive cranking when first
starting the engine. Follow the steps below.
1. Connect the diagnosis connector terminals
F/P and GND
with a jumper wire.
2. Turn the ignition switch
ON for approx. 10 sec. and check
for fuel leaks.
3. Turn the ignition switch OFF and remove the jumper wire.
