FUEL TANK
REMOVING THE FUEL TANK
1. Extract the fuel in the fuel tank through the fuel tank cap with a
pump.
Be careful not to damage the fuel
pump.
2. Remove: • Fuel pump coupler
Although the fuel has been re-
moved from the fuel tank be care-
ful when removing the fuel hoses,
since there may be fuel remaining
in it.
• Before disconnecting the fuel hose, clean the area around the fuel hose
connector.
• Before removing the fuel hose, place a few rags in the area under
where it will be removed.
• To disconnect the fuel hose from the fuel tank, remove the fuel hose
connector holder "a", and then slide
the fuel hose connector cover.
• Slide the fuel hose connector cover "1" in the direction of the arrow
mark, and press the buttons "2" on
both sides of the connector to re-
move the fuel hose.
• Disconnecting the hose is done by hand. There is no need to use tools.
• To prevent sand, dust, and other
foreign material from entering the
fuel pump, install the included fuel
hose joint cover 1 "3" and fuel hose
joint cover 2 "4" onto the fuel pump
and disconnected fuel hose.
3. Remove:•Fuel tank
Do not set the fuel tank down so that
the installation surface of the fuel
pump is directly under the tank.
REMOVING THE FUEL PUMP
1. Remove:•Fuel pump
Do not drop the fuel pump or give
it a strong shock.
CHECKING THE FUEL PUMP
BODY
1. Check:
• Fuel pump bodyCracks/damage → Replace fuel
pump assembly.
CHECKING THE FUEL PUMP
OPERATION
1. Check: • Fuel pump operationRefer to "CHECKING THE FUEL
PRESSURE" section.
INSTALLING THE FUEL PUMP
1. Install: •Fuel pump
• Fuel pump bracket
•Do not damage th e installation
surfaces of the fuel tank when in-
stalling the fuel pump.
• Before installing the fuel pump,
remove any dirt and other foreign
material from the installation sur-
face on the fuel tank.
• Always use a new fuel pump gas- ket.
• Install the lip on the fuel pump gas- ket upward.
• Install the fuel pump as shown in
the illustration.
• Align the projection "a" on the fuel pump with the slot in the fuel pump
bracket. Align the slot "b" on the fuel
tank damper with the projection "a"
on the fuel pump.
• Tighten the fuel pump bolts in stag- es in a crisscross pattern.
INSTALLING THE FUEL TANK
1. Install:•Fuel hose
•When installing the fuel hose,
make sure that it is securely con-
nected, and that the fuel hose
holders are in the correct posi-
tion, otherwise the fuel hose will
not be properly installed.
• Be sure not to kink or pinch the
fuel hose.
• Insert the fuel hose on the fuel pipe
until you hear a definite "click".
• Slide the fuel hose connector cover
"1" at the fuel hose end in the direc-
tion of the arrow.
• Install the fuel hose connector hold-
er "a".
• Make sure that the fuel hose and fuel pump lead are routed through
the guide on the cover.

TROUBLESHOOTING METHOD
Engine starting problems, engine
idling speed problems, and medium
and high-speed performance prob-
lems
1. CHECK:
• Refer to "TROUBLESHOOTING"
section in the chapter 3.
2. Connect the FI diagnostic tool.
(Refer to "CONNECTING THE FI
DIAGNOSTIC TOOL".)
3. Check the fault code number.
(Refer to "TROUBLESHOOTING
DETAILS".)
• Check the fault code number that is
displayed on the LCD of the FI diag-
nostic tool.
• Identify the system with the mal-
function.(Refer to "TROUBLE-
SHOOTING DETAILS".)
4. Checking and repair the probable
case of malfunction.
• Fault code No. YES.
Check and repair.
Refer to "TROUBLESHOOTING
DETAILS".
Refer to "SENSOR OPERATION
TABLE".
• Fault code No. NO.
Check each sensor and actuator
in the diagnostic mode.
Refer to "SETTING THE DIAG-
NOSTIC MODE".
Refer to "SENSOR OPERATION
TABLE".
If the sensors or actuators are
damaged, check and, if neces-
sary, repair or replace all faulty
parts.
If the sensors or actuators are not
damaged, check and, if neces-
sary, repair or replace the engine
inner parts.5. Perform ECU reinstatement ac-
tion.
Refer to "Reinstatement method"
of table in "TROUBLESHOOTING
DETAILS".
6. Set the switch on the FI diagnostic
tool sub-wire harness from "OFF"
to "ON", and then check whether
a fault code number is displayed
again.
If other fault code displayed, repeat
steps (2) to (5) until all fault code
number is not displayed.
7. Set the switch on the FI diagnostic
tool sub-wire harness to "OFF",
and then disconnect the FI diag-
nostic tool, FI diagnostic tool sub-
wire harness, and battery. Place
the accessory coupler in its origi-
nal position.
The malfunction history is stored
even if the switch on the FI diagnostic
tool sub-wire harness is set to "OFF".
Erase the malfunction history in the
diagnostic mode. (Refer to "DIAG-
NOSTIC CODE TABLE (Diagnostic
code No. D62)".)
CONNECTING THE FI
DIAGNOSTIC TOOL
1. Connect the following items to the
accessory coupler as shown.
• FI diagnostic tool "1"
• FI diagnostic tool sub-wire har-
ness "2"
• Battery "3"
• Because this vehicle is not
equipped with a battery, a 12 V
battery is required to use the FI di-
agnostic tool.
• Make sure that the switch on the
FI diagnostic tool sub-wire har-
ness is set to "OFF".
• The "POWER" LED (green)
comes on.
CHECKING THE FAULT CODES
1. Set the switch on the FI diagnostic
tool subwire harness to "ON".
When the switch on the FI diagnostic
tool sub-wire harness is set to "ON",
make sure that "Waiting for connec-
tion" is displayed on the LCD of the FI
diagnostic tool.
2. Check:
• Fault code number
• If a malfunction is detected in the
system, the fault code appears on
the LCD of the FI diagnostic tool
and the "WARNING" LED (orange)
comes on.
• To start the engine, set the switch
on the FI diagnostic tool sub-wire
harness to "OFF".
• When the engine is running, fault
code numbers will not be displayed
on the LCD of the FI diagnostic tool
even if a malfunction is detected in
the system. The "WARNING" LED
(orange) comes on.
3. Set the switch on the FI diagnostic
tool subwire harness to "OFF". FI diagnostic tool
