QUICK CONNECT FITTING (Continued)

OPERATION
The fuel pressure regulator is a mechanical device
that is not controlled by engine vacuum or the Pow-
ertrain Control Module (PCM).
The regulator is calibrated to maintain fuel system
operating pressure of approximately 339 kPa +/- 34
kPa (49.2 psi +/- 5 psi) at the fuel injectors. It con-
tains a diaphragm, calibrated springs and a fuel
return valve.
The main fuel filteris not combinedwithin the
fuel pressure regulator as in other Jeeptmodels.
Three different fuel filters are used: 1. a serviceable,
separate, externally mounted, main fuel filter; 2. a
non-serviceable primary filter located on the bottom
of the electric fuel pump; 3. a non-serviceable second-
ary filter attached to the side of the fuel pump mod-
ule.
Fuel Flow:Fuel migrates into the fuel pump mod-
ule reservoir through a one-way check valve located
on the bottom of the module. This check valve pre-
vents the reservoir from running empty such as
when going up or down hills with a low amount of
fuel in the tank. A primary fuel filter (sock) is located
at the bottom of the electric fuel pump. Fuel is drawn
in through this filter, and up to the electric fuel
pump. High pressure fuel (unregulated) is supplied
from the electric fuel pump through a high-pressure
line to one of 3 fittings on the main fuel filter. If fuel
pressure at the pressure regulator exceeds approxi-
mately 49 psi, an internal diaphragm within the reg-
ulator closes, and excess fuel is routed through a
second fitting on the main fuel filter, and back into
the fuel tank (the fuel pressure regulator is installed
into the return side of the system). Pressure regu-
lated fuel is then delivered from the third fitting on
the fuel filter, up to and through the fuel rail, and on
to the fuel injectors.
A secondary fuel filter is attached to the side of the
fuel pump module. High-pressure from the electric
fuel pump causes a siphoning action across a passage
connected to this filter, and fuel is drawn into the
fuel pump module reservoir. This is used to help keep
the module reservoir full of fuel.
The fuel pressure regulator also acts as a check
valve to maintain some fuel pressure when the
engine is not operating. This will help to start the
engine. A second check valve is located at the outlet
of the fuel pump module housing.Refer to Fuel
Pump - Description and Operation for more
information. Also refer to the Fuel Pressure
Leak Down Test, and the Fuel Pump Pressure
Tests.
A separate fuel return line from the engine is not
used with this system.
REMOVAL
The fuel pressure regulator is located in the fuel
tank. It is attached to the bottom of the upper sec-
tion of the fuel pump module with a quick-connect
fitting (Fig. 19). The fuel pump module is supplied in
2 sections (upper and lower). To replace the pressure
regulator, the bottom section of the fuel pump mod-
ule must be replaced.
(1) Remove upper and lower sections of fuel pump
module from fuel tank. Refer to Fuel Pump Module
Removal/Installation.
(2) Replace lower section of fuel pump module
(includes fuel pressure regulator).
INSTALLATION
The fuel pressure regulator is located in the fuel
tank. It is attached to the bottom of the upper sec-
tion of the fuel pump module with a quick-connect
fitting. The fuel pump module is supplied in 2 sec-
tions (upper and lower). To replace the pressure reg-
ulator, the bottom section of the fuel pump module
must be replaced.
(1) Replace lower section of fuel pump module
(includes fuel pressure regulator).
(2) Install upper and lower sections of fuel pump
module to fuel tank. Refer to Fuel Pump Module
Installation.

FUEL PUMP
DESCRIPTION
The electric fuel pump is located inside of the fuel
pump module. A 12 volt, permanent magnet, electric
motor powers the fuel pump. The electric fuel pump
is not a separate, serviceable component.
OPERATION
Voltage to operate the electric pump is supplied
through the fuel pump relay.
Fuel is drawn in through a filter at the bottom of
the module and pushed through the electric motor
gearset to the pump outlet.
Check Valve Operation:The bottom section of
the fuel pump module contains a one-way check
valve to prevent fuel flow back into the tank and to
maintain fuel supply line pressure (engine warm)
when pump is not operational. It is also used to keep
the fuel supply line full of gasoline when pump is not
operational. After the vehicle has cooled down, fuel
pressure may drop to 0 psi (cold fluid contracts), but
liquid gasoline will remain in fuel supply line
between the check valve and fuel injectors.Fuel
pressure that has dropped to 0 psi on a cooled
down vehicle (engine off) is a normal condition.
Refer to the Fuel Pressure Leak Down Test for more
information.
The electric fuel pump is not a separate, service-
able component.

(7) A good fuel pump will deliver at least 1/10 liter
of fuel in 7 seconds. Do not operate fuel pump for
longer than 7 seconds with fuel line disconnected as
fuel pump module reservoir may run empty.
(a) If capacity is lower than specification, but
fuel pump can be heard operating through fuel fill
cap opening, check for a kinked/damaged fuel sup-
ply line somewhere between fuel rail and fuel
pump module.
(b) If line is not kinked/damaged, and fuel pres-
sure is OK, but capacity is low, replace fuel filter.
Refer to Fuel Filter Removal/Installation for addi-
tional information.
(c) If both fuel pressure and capacity are low,
replace bottom section of fuel pump module. Refer
to Fuel Pump Module Removal/Installation.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - FUEL PUMP
PRESSURE TEST
Use this test in conjunction with the Fuel Pump
Capacity Test, Fuel Pressure Leak Down Test and
Fuel Pump Amperage Test found elsewhere in this
group.
Check Valve Operation:The bottom section of
the fuel pump module contains a one-way check
valve to prevent fuel flow back into the tank and to
maintain fuel supply line pressure (engine warm)
when pump is not operational. It is also used to keep
the fuel supply line full of gasoline when pump is not
operational. After the vehicle has cooled down, fuel
pressure may drop to 0 psi (cold fluid contracts), but
liquid gasoline will remain in fuel supply line
between the check valve and fuel injectors.Fuel
pressure that has dropped to 0 psi on a cooled
down vehicle (engine off) is a normal condition.
When the electric fuel pump is activated, fuel pres-
sure shouldimmediately(1±2 seconds) rise to spec-
ification.
The fuel system is equipped with a separate fuel
pump module mounted, fuel pressure regulator. The
fuel filter is remotely mounted. The fuel pressure
regulator is not controlled by engine vacuum.
