REMOVAL
WARNING:
Read “General Precautions” when working on the fuel system. Refer to FL-3, "
General Precautions" .
1. Check fuel level on fuel gauge. If fuel gauge indicates more than the level as shown in the figure (full or almost full), drain fuel
from fuel tank until fuel gauge indicates level as shown in the fig-
ure or below.
NOTE:
Because fuel will be spilled when removing main and sub fuel
level sensor units for the top of the fuel is above the main and
sub fuel level sensor units installation surface.

As a guide, fuel level becomes the position as shown in the
figure or below when approximately 20 (5-1/4 US gal, 4-3/8
Imp gal) of fuel are drained from fuel tank.

In a case that fuel pump does not operate, perform the follow-
ing procedure.
a. Insert hose of less than 25 mm (0.98 in) in diameter into fuel filler tube through fuel filler opening to draw fuel from fuel filler tube.
b. Disconnect fuel filler hose from fuel filler tube. Refer to FL-10, "
FUEL TANK" .
c. Insert fuel tube into fuel tank through fuel filler hose to draw fuel from fuel tank.
2. Release the fuel pressure from the fuel lines. Refer to EC-85, "
FUEL PRESSURE RELEASE" (VQ35DE)
or EC-747, "
FUEL PRESSURE RELEASE" (VK45DE).

CAUTION:

Quick connector can be disconnected when the tabs
are completely depressed. Do not twist it more than
necessary.

Do not use any tools to disconnected quick connector.

Keep resin tube away from heat. Be especially careful
when welding near the resin tube.

Prevent acid liquid such as battery electrolyte, etc.
from getting on resin tube.

Do not bend or twist resin tube during installation and
disconnection.

Do not remove the remaining retainer on hard tube (or
the equivalent) except when resin tube or retainer is
replaced.

When resin tube or hard tube (or the equivalent) is
replaced, also replace retainer with new one.

To keep the connecting portion clean and to avoid
damage and foreign materials, cover them completely
with plastic bags or something similar.
8. Remove main fuel level sensor unit, fuel filter and fuel pump assembly, and sub fuel level sensor unit as follows:

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 AssemblyNBS005S3
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.

THE ALIGNMENT PROCESS
IMPORTANT:
Use only the alignment specifications listed in this Service Manual.

When displaying the alignment settings, many alignment machines use “indicators”: (Green/red, plus or
minus, Go/No Go). Do NOT use these indicators.
–The alignment specifications programmed into your machine that operate these indicators may not be cor-
rect.
–This may result in an ERROR.

Some newer alignment machines are equipped with an optional “Rolling Compensation” method to “com-
pensate” the sensors (alignment targets or head units). DO NOT use this “Rolling Compensation”
method.
–Use the “Jacking Compensation Method”. After installing the alignment targets or head units, raise the
vehicle and rotate the wheels 1/2 turn both ways.
–See Instructions in the alignment machine you're using for more information on this.
INSPECTION OF CAMBER, CASTER AND KINGPIN INCLINATION ANGLES

Camber, caster, kingpin inclination angles cannot be adjusted.

Before inspection, mount front wheels onto turning radius gauge. Mount rear wheels onto a stand that has
same height so vehicle will remain horizontal.
Using a CCK Gauge
Install CCK gauge attachment [SST: KV991040S0 ( – )] as following procedure in wheel, then measure
wheel alignment.
1. Remove wheel nuts (3), and install a guide bolts to hub bolts.
2. Screw adapter into plate body until it contacts plate tightly.
3. Screw center plate into plate.
4. Insert plate on guide bolts. Put spring in, and then evenly screw both guide bolt nuts. When fastening guide nuts, do not com-
pletely compress springs.
5. Place the dent of alignment gauge onto the projection of center plate and tightly contact them to measure.
CAUTION:

If camber, caster, or kingpin inclination angle is outside
the standard, check front suspension parts for wear and
damage, and replace suspect parts if necessary.

King pin inclination angle is reference value, no inspection is required. (Due to the type of sus-
pension, the kingpin inclination angle cannot be measured correctly using a normal alignment
tester.)
