Note
•The oil pressure can vary with oil viscosity and temperature.
7. Stop the engine and wait until it is cool.
8. Remove the SST.
Caution
•Any sealant stuck at the end of the oil pressure switch can cause operation malfunction of the oil
pressure switch.
Be sure there is no sealant at the end of the oil pressure switch.
9. Apply silicone sealant to the oil pressure switch
threads as shown.
10. Install the oil pressure switch.

Warning
•Hot engines and engine oil can cause severe burns. Turn off the engine and wait until it and the
engine oil have cooled.
•A vehicle that is lifted but not securely supported on safety stands is dangerous. It can slip or fall,
causing death or serious injury. Never work around or under a lifted vehicle if it is not securely
supported on safety stands.
•Continuous exposure to USED engine oil has caused skin cancer in laboratory mice. Protect your
skin by washing with soap and water immediately after working with engine oil.
Caution
•In case you spill engine oil on the front pipe, wipe it off completely. If you fail to wipe the spilled
oil, it will produce fumes because of the heat.
1. Position the vehicle on level ground.
2. Remove the the oil filler cap.
3. Remove the under cover.
4. Remove the oil pan drain plug.
5. Drain the engine oil into a container.
6. Install the oil pan drain plug with a new the washer.
Tightening torque
12—17 N·m {1.2—1.8 kgf·m, 9—13 ft·lbf}
Note
•The amount of residual oil in the engine can vary with the replacement method, oil temperature, etc. Verify
the oil level after engine oil replacement.

1. Turn off the electrical loads.
2. Warm up the engine as follows.
(1) Start the engine.
(2) Maintain the engine speed at approx. 3,000 rpm until the cooling fans start to operate.
(3) Release the accelerator pedal.
(4) Wait until the cooling fans stop.
3. Verify that the idle speed (WDS: RPM PID) is within the specification using WDS or equivalent.

Fuel Pump Cap Installation Note
1. Verify that the fuel tank mark is aligned with the
fuel pump unit mark as shown.
2. Using the SST, tighten the fuel pump cap without
shifting the mark.

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.

3. Perform no load racing at the engine speed
shown in the graph, then idle the engine for more
than 30 s after the cooling fan is stopped. If
possible, monitor RPM PID for engine speed and
FAN1 PID for cooling fan condition during this
procedure.
4. Turn ignition key off then on again.
5. Access to RFCFLAG PID to confirm PCM
adaptive memory condition. If RFCFLAG PID is
“Learnt”, PCM Adaptive Memory Procedure Drive
is completed.
6. If RFCFLAGPID is still “Not Learnt”, go back to
Step 1.
HO2S Heater, HO2S, and TWC Repair Verification Drive Mode
1. Access to RFCFLAG PID to confirm PCM adaptive memory condition. If RFCFLAG PID is OFF, perform PCM
Adaptive Memory Procedure Drive first.
2. If RFCFLAG PID is ON, start the engine and warm it up completely.
3. Verify all accessory loads (A/C, headlights, blower fan, rear window defroster) are off.
4. Drive the vehicle as shown in the graph; first drive in zone O, then A or B, followed by C or D, finally E or F.
Driving condition before the constant speed driving is not specified.

BEFORE REPAIR PROCEDUREA6E401201006203
Warning
•Fuel vapor is hazardous. It can easily ignite, causing serious injury and damage. Always keep
sparks and flames away from fuel.
•Fuel line spills and leads 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 following “Fuel
Line Safety Procedures”.
Fuel Line Safety Procedures
Note
•Fuel in the fuel system is under high pressure when the engine is not running.
1. Avoid fuel line spills and leaks by completing the following procedures.
(1) Remove the fuel-filler cap and release the pressure in the fuel tank.
(2) When disconnecting a fuel line hose, wrap a rag around it to protect against fuel leakage.
(3) Plug the hose after removal.
End Of Sie
AFTER REPAIR PROCEDUREA6E401201006204
Warning
•Fuel line spills and leakage are dangerous. Fuel can ignite and cause serious injuries or death and
damage. When installing the fuel hose, observe “Fuel Hose Installation” described below.
Fuel Line Air Bleeding
Caution
•Continuously cranking the engine for over 30 s can damage the battery and the starter.
1. Continue cranking the engine for 30 s and stop for 5—10 s until the engine starts.
Fuel Hose Installation
1. Verify that there is no damage or deformation on the fuel hose and fuel pipe when installing.

FUEL TANK REMOVAL/INSTALLATIONA6E401242110201
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 also irritate skin and eyes. To prevent this, do
not damage the sealing surface of the fuel gauge sender 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.
