DESCRIPTION:
Further describes the symptom. Confirm that the chart addresses the actual symptom before beginning
troubleshooting.
TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS:
This describes the possible point of malfunction.
STEP:
This shows the order of troubleshooting. Proceed with troubleshooting as indicated.
INSPECTION:
This describes an inspection to quickly determine the malfunction of parts. If a detailed procedure is necessary
to perform the INSPECTION, refer to the page shown by the “~7” mark.
ACTION:
This recommends the appropriate action to take as a result (Yes/No) of the INSPECTION. How to perform
the action is described on the reference page shown by the “~7” mark.

PRECAUTION
Fuel Pressure Release and Servicing Fuel System
Fuel in the fuel system remains under high pressure even when
the engine is not running.
a) Before disconnecting any fuel line, release the fuel pres-
sure from the fuel system to reduce the possibility of injury
or fire.
1. Start the engine.
2. Push the rear seat cushion buttons and remove the
cushion.
3. Disconnect the fuel pump connector.
4. After the engine stalls, turn off the ignition switch.
5. Reconnect fuel pump connector and install the rear seat
cushion.
b) Use a rag as protection from fuel spray when disconnect-
ing the hoses.
Plug the hoses after removal.
c) When inspecting the fuel system, use a suitable fuel pres-
sure gauge.
Caution
l Install hose clamps to secure the fuel pressure
gauge to the fuel filter and the fuel main hose to pre-
vent fuel leakage.
Pinching Hose
When pinching an air hose or a fuel hose with pliers, wrap
the hose with a rag to prevent damage.
