Fuel Pressure Relief ProcedureS7RS0B1706003
CAUTION!
This work must not be done when engine is
hot. If done so, it may cause adverse effect to
catalyst.
NOTE
If ECM detects DTC(s) after servicing, clear
DTC(s) referring to “DTC Clearance in
Section 1A”.
1) Make sure that engine is cold.
2) Shift transaxle gear shift lever in “Neutral” (shift select lever in “P” range for A/T model), set parking
brake and block drive wheels.
3) Remove relay / fuse box cover.
4) Disconnect fuel pump relay (1) from relay / fuse box (2).
5) Remove fuel filter cap in order to release fuel vapor pressure in fuel tank, and then reinstall it.
6) Start engine and run it until engine stops for lack of fuel. Repeat cranking engine 2 – 3 times for about 3
seconds each time in order to dissipate fuel pressure
in lines. Fuel connections are now safe for servicing.
7) After servicing, connect fuel pump relay (1) to relay / fuse box and install re lay / fuse box cover.
Fuel Leakage Check ProcedureS7RS0B1706004
After performing any service on fuel system, check to
make sure that there are no fuel leakages as follows.
1) Turn ON ignition switch for 3 seconds (to operate fuel pump) and then turn it OFF.
Repeat this (ON and OFF) 3 or 4 times and apply
fuel pressure to fuel line until fuel pressure is felt by
hand placed on fuel feed hose.
2) In this state, check to see that there are no fuel leakages from any part of fuel system.
Fuel Lines On-Vehicle InspectionS7RS0B1706005
CAUTION!
Due to the fact that fuel feed line (1) is under
high pressure, use special care when
servicing it.
Visually inspect fuel lines for evidence of fuel leakage,
hose crack and deterioration or damage.
Make sure all cl amps are secure.
Replace parts as needed.
Fuel Pipe Removal and InstallationS7RS0B1706006
WARNING!
Before starting the following procedure, be
sure to observe “Precautions on Fuel System
Service” in order to reduce the risk or fire
and personal injury.
Removal
1) Relieve fuel pressure in fuel feed line according to “Fuel Pressure Relief Procedure”.
2) Disconnect negative cable at battery.
3) Disconnect fuel pipe joint and fuel hose (3) from fuel pipe (2) at the front and rear of each fuel pipe
referring to “Fuel Hose Disconnecting and
Reconnecting”.
4) Mark the location of clamps (1) on fuel pipes (2), so that the clamps can be reinstalled to where they
were.
5) Remove pipes (2) with clamp (1) from vehicle.
6) Remove clamp (1) from pipes (2).

• Do not leave ignition key in a place where
temperature is high. High temperature may cause
damage to the transponder built in the ignition key. • Do not turn ignition switch to ON position by bringing
radio antenna close to coil antenna. Or, the
immobilizer control syst em may detect some
abnormal condition and prevent the engine from
starting.
General Description
Immobilizer Control System IntroductionS7RS0BA301001
The immobilizer control system is an anti-theft device that immobilizes the vehicle. It stops the engine from working
and prevents the vehicle from being stolen. It mainly consists of the following components.
• Engine Control Module (ECM)
• Immobilizer control module (ICM) with the built-in coil antenna
• Ignition key with the built-in transponder
A code called the transponder code is memorized in the tran sponder. And, the code is registered with ECM. Basically,
when the ignition switch is turned ON, ECM reads the code by the coil antenna. Then, if the code in transponder in the
ignition key does not match with the one registered with ECM, ECM stops the operati on of the fuel injection so as not
to start up the engine and turns the immobilizer indi cator lamp ON and OFF using CA N communication lines. In the
case of the vehicle equipped with the keyless start system , in addition to the above operation, ECM makes the
immobilizer indicator lamp ON and OFF when it detects a trouble related to ID code verification of the keyless start
system.
