fuel filter JEEP LIBERTY 2002 KJ / 1.G Owner's Manual

OPERATION
The fuel pressure regulator is a mechanical device
that is not controlled by engine vacuum or the Pow-
ertrain Control Module (PCM).
The regulator is calibrated to maintain fuel system
operating pressure of approximately 339 kPa +/- 34
kPa (49.2 psi +/- 5 psi) at the fuel injectors. It con-
tains a diaphragm, calibrated springs and a fuel
return valve.
The main fuel filteris not combinedwithin the
fuel pressure regulator as in other Jeeptmodels.
Three different fuel filters are used: 1. a serviceable,
separate, externally mounted, main fuel filter; 2. a
non-serviceable primary filter located on the bottom
of the electric fuel pump; 3. a non-serviceable second-
ary filter attached to the side of the fuel pump mod-
ule.
Fuel Flow:Fuel migrates into the fuel pump mod-
ule reservoir through a one-way check valve located
on the bottom of the module. This check valve pre-
vents the reservoir from running empty such as
when going up or down hills with a low amount of
fuel in the tank. A primary fuel filter (sock) is located
at the bottom of the electric fuel pump. Fuel is drawn
in through this filter, and up to the electric fuel
pump. High pressure fuel (unregulated) is supplied
from the electric fuel pump through a high-pressure
line to one of 3 fittings on the main fuel filter. If fuel
pressure at the pressure regulator exceeds approxi-
mately 49 psi, an internal diaphragm within the reg-
ulator closes, and excess fuel is routed through a
second fitting on the main fuel filter, and back into
the fuel tank (the fuel pressure regulator is installed
into the return side of the system). Pressure regu-
lated fuel is then delivered from the third fitting on
the fuel filter, up to and through the fuel rail, and on
to the fuel injectors.
A secondary fuel filter is attached to the side of the
fuel pump module. High-pressure from the electric
fuel pump causes a siphoning action across a passage
connected to this filter, and fuel is drawn into the
fuel pump module reservoir. This is used to help keep
the module reservoir full of fuel.
The fuel pressure regulator also acts as a check
valve to maintain some fuel pressure when the
engine is not operating. This will help to start the
engine. A second check valve is located at the outlet
of the fuel pump module housing.Refer to Fuel
Pump - Description and Operation for more
information. Also refer to the Fuel Pressure
Leak Down Test, and the Fuel Pump Pressure
Tests.
A separate fuel return line from the engine is not
used with this system.
REMOVAL
The fuel pressure regulator is located in the fuel
tank. It is attached to the bottom of the upper sec-
tion of the fuel pump module with a quick-connect
fitting (Fig. 19). The fuel pump module is supplied in
2 sections (upper and lower). To replace the pressure
regulator, the bottom section of the fuel pump mod-
ule must be replaced.
(1) Remove upper and lower sections of fuel pump
module from fuel tank. Refer to Fuel Pump Module
Removal/Installation.
(2) Replace lower section of fuel pump module
(includes fuel pressure regulator).
INSTALLATION
The fuel pressure regulator is located in the fuel
tank. It is attached to the bottom of the upper sec-
tion of the fuel pump module with a quick-connect
fitting. The fuel pump module is supplied in 2 sec-
tions (upper and lower). To replace the pressure reg-
ulator, the bottom section of the fuel pump module
must be replaced.
(1) Replace lower section of fuel pump module
(includes fuel pressure regulator).

FUEL PUMP
DESCRIPTION
The electric fuel pump is located inside of the fuel
pump module. A 12 volt, permanent magnet, electric
motor powers the fuel pump. The electric fuel pump
is not a separate, serviceable component.
OPERATION
Voltage to operate the electric pump is supplied
through the fuel pump relay.
Fuel is drawn in through a filter at the bottom of
the module and pushed through the electric motor
gearset to the pump outlet.
Check Valve Operation:The bottom section of
the fuel pump module contains a one-way check
valve to prevent fuel flow back into the tank and to
maintain fuel supply line pressure (engine warm)
when pump is not operational. It is also used to keep
the fuel supply line full of gasoline when pump is not
operational. After the vehicle has cooled down, fuel
pressure may drop to 0 psi (cold fluid contracts), but
liquid gasoline will remain in fuel supply line
between the check valve and fuel injectors.Fuel
pressure that has dropped to 0 psi on a cooled
down vehicle (engine off) is a normal condition.
Refer to the Fuel Pressure Leak Down Test for more
information.
The electric fuel pump is not a separate, service-
able component.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - FUEL PUMP
CAPACITY TEST
Before performing this test, verify fuel pump
pressure. Refer to Fuel Pump Pressure Test.
Use this test in conjunction with the Fuel Pres-
sure Leak Down Test.
(1) Release fuel system pressure. Refer to Fuel
Pressure Release Procedure.
(2) Disconnect fuel supply line at fuel rail. Refer to
Quick-Connect Fittings. Some engines may require
air cleaner housing removal before line disconnection.
(3) Obtain correct Fuel Line Pressure Test Adapter
Tool Hose. Tool number 6539 is used for 5/16º fuel
lines and tool number 6631 is used for 3/8º fuel lines.
(4) Connect correct Fuel Line Pressure Test
Adapter Tool Hose into disconnected fuel supply line.
Insert other end of Adaptor Tool Hose into a gradu-
ated container.
(5) Remove fuel fill cap.(6) To activate fuel pump and pressurize system,
obtain DRBtscan tool and actuate ASD Fuel System
Test.
(7) A good fuel pump will deliver at least 1/10 liter
of fuel in 7 seconds. Do not operate fuel pump for
longer than 7 seconds with fuel line disconnected as
fuel pump module reservoir may run empty.
(a) If capacity is lower than specification, but
fuel pump can be heard operating through fuel fill
cap opening, check for a kinked/damaged fuel sup-
ply line somewhere between fuel rail and fuel
pump module.
(b) If line is not kinked/damaged, and fuel pres-
sure is OK, but capacity is low, replace fuel filter.
Refer to Fuel Filter Removal/Installation for addi-
tional information.
(c) If both fuel pressure and capacity are low,
replace bottom section of fuel pump module. Refer
to Fuel Pump Module Removal/Installation.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - FUEL PUMP
PRESSURE TEST
Use this test in conjunction with the Fuel Pump
Capacity Test, Fuel Pressure Leak Down Test and
Fuel Pump Amperage Test found elsewhere in this
group.
Check Valve Operation:The bottom section of
the fuel pump module contains a one-way check
valve to prevent fuel flow back into the tank and to
maintain fuel supply line pressure (engine warm)
when pump is not operational. It is also used to keep
the fuel supply line full of gasoline when pump is not
operational. After the vehicle has cooled down, fuel
pressure may drop to 0 psi (cold fluid contracts), but
liquid gasoline will remain in fuel supply line
between the check valve and fuel injectors.Fuel
pressure that has dropped to 0 psi on a cooled
down vehicle (engine off) is a normal condition.
When the electric fuel pump is activated, fuel pres-
sure shouldimmediately(1±2 seconds) rise to spec-
ification.
The fuel system is equipped with a separate fuel
pump module mounted, fuel pressure regulator. The
fuel filter is remotely mounted. The fuel pressure
regulator is not controlled by engine vacuum.
WARNING: THE FUEL SYSTEM IS UNDER CON-
STANT FUEL PRESSURE EVEN WITH THE ENGINE

THROTTLE BODY
DESCRIPTION
The throttle body is located on the intake manifold.
Fuel does not enter the intake manifold through the
throttle body. Fuel is sprayed into the manifold by
the fuel injectors.
OPERATION
Filtered air from the air cleaner enters the intake
manifold through the throttle body. The throttle body
contains an air control passage controlled by an Idle
Air Control (IAC) motor. The air control passage is
used to supply air for idle conditions. A throttle valve
(plate) is used to supply air for above idle conditions.
Certain sensors are attached to the throttle body.
The accelerator pedal cable, speed control cable and
transmission control cable (when equipped) are con-
nected to the throttle body linkage arm.
A (factory adjusted) set screw is used to mechani-
cally limit the position of the throttle body throttle
plate.Never attempt to adjust the engine idle
speed using this screw.All idle speed functions are
controlled by the PCM.

Refer to the Diagnostic Trouble Codes Description
Charts in this section and the appropriate Power-
train Diagnostic Procedure Manual for diagnostic
procedures.
DESCRIPTION - NON-MONITORED CIRCUITS
The PCM does not monitor the following circuits,
systems and conditions that could have malfunctions
causing driveability problems. The PCM might not
store diagnostic trouble codes for these conditions.
However, problems with these systems may cause the
PCM to store diagnostic trouble codes for other sys-
tems or components. For example, a fuel pressure
problem will not register a fault directly, but could
cause a rich/lean condition or misfire. This could
cause the PCM to store an oxygen sensor or misfire
diagnostic trouble code
FUEL PRESSURE
The fuel pressure regulator controls fuel system
pressure. The PCM cannot detect a clogged fuel
pump inlet filter, clogged in-line fuel filter, or a
pinched fuel supply or return line. However, these
could result in a rich or lean condition causing the
PCM to store an oxygen sensor or fuel system diag-
nostic trouble code.
SECONDARY IGNITION CIRCUIT
The PCM cannot detect an inoperative ignition coil,
fouled or worn spark plugs, ignition cross firing, or
open spark plug cables.
CYLINDER COMPRESSION
The PCM cannot detect uneven, low, or high engine
cylinder compression.
EXHAUST SYSTEM
The PCM cannot detect a plugged, restricted or
leaking exhaust system, although it may set a fuel
system fault.
FUEL INJECTOR MECHANICAL MALFUNCTIONS
The PCM cannot determine if a fuel injector is
clogged, the needle is sticking or if the wrong injectoris installed. However, these could result in a rich or
lean condition causing the PCM to store a diagnostic
trouble code for either misfire, an oxygen sensor, or
the fuel system.
EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION
Although the PCM monitors engine exhaust oxygen
content when the system is in closed loop, it cannot
determine excessive oil consumption.
THROTTLE BODY AIRFLOW
The PCM cannot detect a clogged or restricted air
cleaner inlet or filter element.
VACUUM ASSIST
The PCM cannot detect leaks or restrictions in the
vacuum circuits of vacuum assisted engine control
system devices. However, these could cause the PCM
to store a MAP sensor diagnostic trouble code and
cause a high idle condition.
PCM SYSTEM GROUND
The PCM cannot determine a poor system ground.
However, one or more diagnostic trouble codes may
be generated as a result of this condition. The mod-
ule should be mounted to the body at all times, also
during diagnostic.
PCM CONNECTOR ENGAGEMENT
The PCM may not be able to determine spread or
damaged connector pins. However, it might store
diagnostic trouble codes as a result of spread connec-
tor pins.
DESCRIPTION - HIGH AND LOW LIMITS
The PCM compares input signal voltages from each
input device with established high and low limits for
the device. If the input voltage is not within limits
and other criteria are met, the PCM stores a diagnos-
tic trouble code in memory. Other diagnostic trouble
code criteria might include engine RPM limits or
input voltages from other sensors or switches that
must be present before verifying a diagnostic trouble
code condition.
