FUEL TANK REMOVAL/INSTALLATIONA6E391242110201
Warning
•Repairing a fuel tank that has not been properly steam cleaned can be dangerous. Explosion or
fire may cause death or serious injury. Always properly steam clean a fuel tank before repairing it.
•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, do not damage the sealing surface of
the fuel pump unit when removing or installing.
Caution
•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 REPAIR PROCEDURE”.
3. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
4. Remove the fuel pump unit. (See F1–26 FUEL PUMP UNIT REMOVAL/INSTALLATION.)

Plastic Fuel Hose Removal Note
Caution
•The quick release connector may be damaged if the tab is bent excessively. Do not expand the tab
over the stopper.
1. Disconnect the quick release connector.
(1) Push the tab on the locking coupler 90
degrees until it stops.
(2) Pull the fuel hose straight back.
Note
•The stopper may be removed from the quick
connector. Take care not to lose it.
Reinstall it to the quick release connector
before reconnecting the fuel line.
•The locking coupler has two internal locking
tabs which retain the fuel pipe. Be sure that
the tab on the locking coupler is rotated until
it stops to release two internal locking tabs.
2. Cover the disconnected quick release connector
and fuel pipe with vinyl sheets or the like to
prevent them from being scratched or
contaminated with foreign material.
Fuel Pump Cap Removal Note
1. Using the SST, remove the fuel pump cap.

Plastic Fuel Hose Installation Note
Note
•A checker tab is integrated with quick
release connector for new plastic fuel hoses.
The checker tab will be released from the
quick release connector after it is completely
engaged with the fuel pipe.
1. Inspect the fuel pump unit sealing surface for
damage and deformation, and replace as
necessary.
•If the quick release connector O-ring is
damaged, replace the plastic fuel hose.
2. Slightly apply clean engine oil to the sealing
surface of the fuel pump unit.
3. Align the fuel pipe on the fuel pump unit and quick
release connector so that the tabs of the retainer
are correctly fitted into the quick release
connector. Push the quick release connector
straight into the retainer until a click is heard.
4. Lightly pull and push the quick release connector
a few times by hand and verify that it can move
2.0—3.0 mm {0.08—0.11 in} and it is connected
securely.
•If quick release connector does not move at
all, verify that O-ring is not damaged and
slipped, and reconnect the quick release
connector.
Fuel Leak Inspection After Fuel Pump Unit Installation
1. Drive the vehicle.
2. Perform a quick start and a hard brake 5—6 times.
3. Stop the vehicle.
4. Verify that there is no fuel leakage near the fuel pump unit in the vehicle interior.

PCM INSPECTION (4WD)A6E394018880207Using SST (WDS or equivalent)
Note
•PIDs for the following parts are not available on this model. Go to the appropriate part inspection page.
—CMP sensor
—Main relay
1. Connect the SST (WDS or equivalent) to the
DLC-2.
2. Turn the ignition switch to ON position.
3. Measure the PID value.
•If PID value is not within the specification,
follow the instructions in Action column.
Note
•The PID/DATA MONITOR function monitors
the calculated value of the input/output
signals in the PCM. Therefore, an output
device malfunction is not directly indicated
as a malfunction of the monitored value for
the output device. If a monitored value of an
output device is out of specification, inspect the monitored value of the input device related to the output
control.
•For input/output signals except those of the monitoring items, use a voltmeter to measure the PCM
terminal voltage.
•The simulation items that are used in the ENGINE CONTROL SYSTEM OPERATION INSPECTION are
as follows.
—ACCS, ALTF, EVAPCP, FAN1, FAN2, FAN3, FP, HTR11, HTR12, IAC, IASV, IMRC, IMTV, VT DUTY1
