BASIC SERVICE PROCEDURE
BASIC SERVICE PROCEDURE
PFP:00018
Fuel FilterEBS0036N
DESCRIPTION
A water draining cock is on the lower side and a priming pump for bleeding air is on the upper side.
AIR BLEEDING
Pump the priming pump to bleed air.
●When air is bled completely, the pumping of the priming pump
suddenly becomes heavy. Stop the operation at that time.
●If it is difficult to bleed air by the pumping of the priming pump
(the pumping of the priming pump does not become heavy), dis-
connect the fuel supply hose between the fuel filter and the fuel
gallery. Then, perform the operation described above, and make
sure that fuel comes out. (Use a pan, etc. so as not to spill fuel.
Do not let fuel get on engine and other parts.) After that, connect
the hose, then bleed air again.
●Start engine and let it idle for at least one minute after perform-
ing air bleeding.
WATER DRAINING
1. Remove the fuel filter, filter bracket, protector assembly from the dash panel as follows.
a. Remove the air cleaner case (upper), air duct assembly, and vacuum hose for brake booster (between the
vacuum pump and vacuum pipe).
CAUTION:
After the duct is removed, cover the opening with gum tape, etc. to prevent foreign object from
getting into the engine during the operation.
b. Remove the mounting nuts on the dash panel, then remove the fuel filter, filter bracket, and protector
assembly from the dash panel.
●It is not necessary to disconnect the fuel hose.
2. Using a tool such as a pliers, loosen the water draining cock at the bottom of the fuel filter.
Accelerator Pedal Released Position LearningEBS009NW
DESCRIPTION
"Accelerator Pedal Released Position Learning" is an operating to learn the fully released position of the
accelerator pedal by monitoring the accelerator pedal position sensor output signal. It must be performed
when accelerator work unit or ECM is replaced.
OPERATION PROCEDURE
1. Turn ignition switch "ON".
2. Select "OFF ACCEL PO SIG" in "ACTIVE TEST" mode with
CONSULT-II
3. Make sure that accelerator pedal is released.

REMOVAL
WARNING:
Be sure to read “General Precautions” when working on fuel system. Refer to FL-3, "
General Precau-
tions" .
1. Release fuel pressure from fuel line. Refer to EC-775, "
FUEL
PRESSURE RELEASE" [QR20DE (WITH EURO-OBD)], EC-
11 3 9 , "FUEL PRESSURE RELEASE" [QR20DE (WITHOUT
EURO-OBD)],EC-42, "
FUEL PRESSURE RELEASE"
[QR25DE (WITH EURO-OBD)] or EC-452, "FUEL PRESSURE
RELEASE" [QR25DE (WITHOUT EURO-OBD)].
2. Open fuel filer lid.
3. Open the filler cap and release the pressure inside the fuel tank.
4. Check fuel level on level place. If gauge indicates more than the
level shown in figure (full or almost full), drain fuel from fuel tank
until gauge indicates level shown in figure or below.
In case of fuel pump does not operate, take following procedure.
a. Insert fuel tube of less than 25 mm (0.98 in) in diameter into fuel
filler tube through fuel filler opening to draw fuel from fuel filler
tube.
b. Disconnect fuel filler hose from fuel filler tube.
c. Insert fuel tube into fuel tank through fuel filler hose to draw fuel
from fuel tank.
●As a guide, fuel level becomes the position shown in figure or
below when approximately 15 liter (13-1/4 lmp qt) of fuel are drained from fuel tank.
NOTE:
Adjusting fuel level is to prevent fuel from spilling, when fuel level sensor unit, fuel filter and fuel pump
assembly is removed.

damage and foreign materials, cover them completely
with plastic bags or something similar.
7. Using a fuel tank lock ring wrench, remove the lock ring.
8. Remove main fuel level sensor unit, fuel filter, fuel pump assem-
bly and sub fuel level sensor unit.
CAUTION:
●Do not bend the float arm during removal.
●Avoid impacts such as falling when handling compo-
nents.
●Removal of main fuel level sensor unit, fuel filter, fuel pump
assembly.
●Raise the sender unit, and remove the jet pump to remove the

INSPECTION AFTER REMOVAL
Make sure the fuel pump strainer is free from foreign materials, If any are found, remove them.
INSTALLATION
Install in the reverse order of removal paying attention to the follow-
ing.
●When installing the chamber and jet pump, insert them fully until
a click sound of full stopper engagement is heard (Ditto for jet
pump inlet).
●Connect the quick connector as follows.
1. Check the connection for damage and foreign materials.
2. Align the connector with the tube, then insert the connector straight into the tube until a click is heard.
3. After connecting, make sure that the connection is secure by following the steps below.
●Visually confirm that the two retainer tabs are connected to the connector.
●Pull the tube and the connector to make sure they are securely connected.
●Install fuel level sensor unit with mating mark (triangular pro-
trusion) facing between two carved lines on fuel tank. (Figure
shows left side of fuel tank.)
NOTE:
On right side of fuel tank, there are three carved lines on fuel
tank. Set mating mark between two outer carved lines.
●Install the inspection hole cover with the front mark (arrow)
facing front of the vehicle (Both for RH and LH).
INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION
Make sure there is no fuel leakage at connections in the following steps.
1. Apply fuel pressure to fuel lines with turning ignition switch ON (with engine stopped). Then check for fuel
leaks at connections.
2. Start the engine and rev it up and check for fuel leaks at connections.
