Installation [06/2018 - ]: Procedure
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 6 other vehicles, including the 2024 Lexus ES 350, 2023 Lexus ES 350, 2022 Lexus ES 350, 2021 Lexus ES 350, and 2020 Lexus ES 350. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- INSTALL FUEL SUCTION TUBE WITH PUMP AND GAUGE ASSEMBLY
- Install a new fuel suction tube set gasket to the fuel tank assembly.
- Set the fuel suction tube with pump and gauge assembly to the fuel tank assembly.NOTE:
Be careful not to bend the arm of the fuel sender gauge assembly.
- Align the protrusions of the fuel suction tube with pump and gauge assembly with the notches in the fuel tank assembly.
*a Protrusion Notch
- INSTALL FUEL PUMP GAUGE RETAINER
- Install the fuel pump gauge retainer.
- While pressing down on the fuel suction tube with pump and gauge assembly, temporarily install the fuel pump gauge retainer.
- Temporarily install SST (plate) and SST (claw) to the fuel pump gauge retainer.
- SST: 09808-14031
- 09808-01030
- 09808-01090
- SST: 09808-01071
*a Insertion Point *b SST (Plate) *c SST (Claw) *d SST (Bolt) HINT:
Securely insert the ends of SST (claw) into the insertion points in the fuel pump gauge retainer.
- SST: 09808-14031
- While firmly pressing SST (claw) into the insertion points in the fuel pump gauge retainer, tighten SST (bolt).
- Install SST (handle) to SST (plate).
*a Triangle Mark (Fuel Pump Gauge Retainer) *b Triangle Mark (Fuel Tank Assembly) *c SST (Handle) *d SST (Plate) *e SST (Bolt) Front Side - SST: 09808-14031
- 09808-01010
- SST: 09808-01071
- SST: 09808-14031
- Using SST, rotate the fuel pump gauge retainer so that the triangle mark on the fuel pump gauge retainer is aligned with the triangle mark on the fuel tank assembly to install the fuel suction tube with pump and gauge assembly to the fuel tank assembly.NOTE:
- Do not use any tools other than specified as this may result in damage to the fuel pump gauge retainer or fuel tank assembly.
- Do not press down on SST excessively as this may make the fuel pump gauge retainer hard to rotate, and may damage components.
- Make sure to rotate SST (handle) horizontally. If it is rotated at an angle, SST may come off.
- Do not spin SST too fast or use an impact wrench as this may result in damage to components.
- If SST comes off of the fuel pump gauge retainer, loosen SST (bolt) and reinstall SST.
- Make sure that the fuel suction tube set gasket does not come off.
- Engage the claw to install the No. 1 fuel tube clamp.
- Install the fuel pump gauge retainer.
- CONNECT FUEL TANK MAIN TUBE SUB-ASSEMBLY
- Push the fuel tube joint onto the plug of the fuel suction plate sub-assembly, then install the tube joint clip.
*1 Fuel Suction Plate Sub-assembly *2 Tube Joint Clip *3 Fuel Tank Main Tube Sub-assembly - - *a Fuel Tube Joint *b O-ring *c Correct *d Incorrect *e Collar - - Insert Insert NOTE:- Check that there are no scratches or foreign matter around the connecting parts of the fuel tube joint and plug before performing this work.
- Check that the fuel tube joint is securely inserted to the end.
- Check that the tube joint clip is on the collar of the fuel tube joint.
- After installing the tube joint clip, check that the fuel tank main tube sub-assembly is securely connected by pulling on it.
- Push the fuel tube joint onto the plug of the fuel suction plate sub-assembly, then install the tube joint clip.
- INSTALL REAR FLOOR SERVICE HOLE COVER
- Remove any remaining butyl tape from the rear floor service hole cover and vehicle body.
- Clean the installation surfaces of the rear floor service hole cover and vehicle body.
- Connect the 2 fuel suction tube with pump and gauge assembly connectors.
- Install the rear floor service hole cover with new butyl tape.
*a Butyl Tape Adhesion Area NOTE:Securely install the rear floor service hole cover.
- CONNECT CABLE TO NEGATIVE BATTERY TERMINAL
