Main and Sub Fuel Level Sensor Unit

When installing fuel hose connector insert them fully until a click
sound of full stopper engagement is heard.

Face main and sub fuel level sensor units as shown in the fig-
ure, and install them with the knock pin on back aligned with pin
hole on fuel tank.

Install retainer so that its notch becomes parallel with the notch
on fuel tank.

Tighten retainer mounting bolts evenly.
Quick Connector
Connect quick connector as follows:
1. Check the connection for damage or any foreign materials.
2. Align the connector with the tube, then insert the connector straight into the tube until a click sound is
heard.
3. After connecting, make sure that the connection is secure by following method.

Pull the tube and the connector to make sure they are
securely connected.

Visually confirm that the two retainer tabs are connected to
the connector.
INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION
Use the following procedure to check for fuel leaks.

1. Turn ignition switch “ON” (with engine stopped), then check connections for leaks by applying fuel pres-
sure to fuel piping.
2. Start engine and let it idle and make sure there are no fuel leaks at the fuel system connections.
Disassembly and AssemblyABS005Z0
CAUTION:
Sub fuel level sensor unit cannot be disassembled and should be replaced as a unit.
DISASSEMBLY
Remove fuel level sensor unit as follows.
1. Disconnect harness connector.

Hold connector by fingers and pull it out, because there is no
stopper release tab.
2. Using suitable tool, pull up tabs points as shown in the figure
(two points) to release the lock.
CAUTION:
Be careful not to damage it.
3. After fixing tabs are disengaged, slide fuel level sensor unit out
in direction shown by the arrow.
CAUTION:
Do not disassemble fuel filter and fuel pump assembly.

to 0.47 in) on tank side and 5.7 to 9.7 mm (0.224 to 0.382 in) on fuel filler tube side.

To connect quick connector, refer to FL-7, "Quick Connector" .
INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION
Use the following procedure to check for fuel leaks.
1. Turn ignition switch “ON” (with engine stopped), and check connections for leakage by applying fuel pres-
sure to fuel piping.
2. Start engine and check for fuel leaks at the fuel system tube and hose connections.

After removing/installing rear suspension assembly, make sure to adjust wheel alignment and then, adjust
neutral position of steering angle sensor. Refer to RSU-5, "
