Fuel Pressure Relief ProcedureS7RS0B1706003
CAUTION! 
This work must not be done when engine is 
hot. If done so, it may cause adverse effect to 
catalyst.
 
NOTE
If ECM detects DTC(s) after servicing, clear 
DTC(s) referring to “DTC Clearance in 
Section 1A”.

brake and block drive wheels.
3) Remove relay / fuse box cover.
4) Disconnect fuel pump relay (1) from relay / fuse box  (2).
5) Remove fuel filter cap in order to release fuel vapor  pressure in fuel tank, and then reinstall it.
6) Start engine and run it until engine stops for lack of  fuel. Repeat cranking engine 2 – 3 times for about 3 
seconds each time in order  to dissipate fuel pressure 
in lines. Fuel connections are now safe for servicing.
7) After servicing, connect fuel pump relay (1) to relay /  fuse box and install re lay / fuse box cover.
Fuel Leakage Check ProcedureS7RS0B1706004
After performing any service on fuel system, check to 
make sure that there are no fuel leakages as follows.
1) Turn ON ignition switch for 3 seconds (to operate  fuel pump) and then turn it OFF.
Repeat this (ON and OFF) 3 or 4 times and apply 
fuel pressure to fuel line until fuel pressure is felt by 
hand placed on fuel feed hose.
2) In this state, check to see that there are no fuel  leakages from any part of fuel system.
Fuel Lines On-Vehicle InspectionS7RS0B1706005
CAUTION! 
Due to the fact that fuel feed line (1) is under 
high pressure, use special care when 
servicing it.
 
Visually inspect fuel lines for evidence of fuel leakage, 
hose crack and deterioration or damage.
Make sure all cl amps are secure.
Replace parts as needed.
Fuel Pipe Removal and InstallationS7RS0B1706006
WARNING! 
Before starting the following procedure, be 
sure to observe “Precautions on Fuel System 
Service” in order to reduce the risk or fire 
and personal injury.
 
Removal
1) Relieve fuel pressure in fuel feed line according to  “Fuel Pressure Relief Procedure”.
2) Disconnect negative cable at battery.
3) Disconnect fuel pipe joint and fuel hose (3) from fuel  pipe (2) at the front and rear of each fuel pipe 
referring to “Fuel Hose Disconnecting and 
Reconnecting”.
4) Mark the location of clamps (1) on fuel pipes (2), so  that the clamps can be reinstalled to where they 
were.
5) Remove pipes (2) with clamp (1) from vehicle.
6) Remove clamp (1) from pipes (2).

• Inspect for deformation or damage.
• Inspect bushings for wear or damage.
• Inspect for evidence of oil leakage.
Replace any defective parts.
WARNING! 
When handling rear shock absorber (1) in 
which high-pressure gas is sealed, make 
sure to observe the following precautions.
• Don’t disassemble it.
• Don’t put it into the fire.
• Don’t store it where it gets hot.
• Before disposing it, be sure to drill a hole  (approximately 3 mm (0.12 in.) diameter) 
(2) in it where indicated by arrow in the
