Instructions:
1. Relieve the pressure in the fuel system. To do this, turn the ignition to the "on" position for 2 seconds, then turn it off. Repeat this process 3 times. This will help reduce the amount of fuel that is sprayed out when you remove the fuel pump.
2. Park your vehicle on a level surface and apply the parking brake. Make sure that you have a fire extinguisher nearby.
3. Open the hood and locate the fuel pump. The fuel pump is located on the passenger's side of the vehicle, under the rear seat.
4. Remove the fuel pump cover. The fuel pump cover is held in place by four screws. Use a Phillips head screwdriver to remove the screws, then lift the cover off of the fuel pump.
5. Disconnect the fuel lines. There are two fuel lines connected to the fuel pump. Use a fuel line disconnect tool to disconnect the lines. Be careful not to spill any fuel.
6. Remove the electrical connections. There are two electrical connections connected to the fuel pump. Use a screwdriver to pry the connections off of the fuel pump.
7. Remove the mounting bolts. The fuel pump is held in place by two bolts. Use a ratchet and socket set to remove the bolts. Be careful not to drop the bolts into the fuel tank.
8. Lift the fuel pump out of the tank. Once the bolts are removed, you can lift the fuel pump out of the fuel tank. Be careful not to spill any fuel.
9. Inspect the fuel pump. Before installing the new fuel pump, inspect it to make sure that it is not damaged. If the fuel pump is damaged, it must be replaced.
Re-installation is the reverse of removal
Warning: Fuel injection systems are under high pressure. Before disconnecting any fuel lines or fittings, place a shop towel or rag over the fitting and slowly loosen it, allowing trapped pressure to escape slowly. Failure to do so could result in fuel spray that may cause a fire or personal injury.
