Removal [10/2018 - 07/2022]: Procedure
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 6 other vehicles, including the 2024 Lexus UX 250h, 2023 Lexus UX 250h, 2022 Lexus UX 250h, 2021 Lexus UX 250h, and 2020 Lexus UX 250h. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- PRECAUTION NOTE:
After turning the power switch off, waiting time may be required before disconnecting the cable from the negative (-) auxiliary battery terminal. Therefore, make sure to read the disconnecting the cable from the negative (-) auxiliary battery terminal notices before proceeding with work.
Refer to PRECAUTION [10/2018 - 07/2022]
- DISCHARGE FUEL SYSTEM PRESSURE
Refer to PRECAUTION [10/2018 - ]
- DISCONNECT CABLE FROM NEGATIVE BATTERY TERMINAL
Refer to PROCEDURE - Step 5
- REMOVE REAR SEAT ASSEMBLY
Refer to REMOVAL [10/2018 - 07/2022]
- REMOVE REAR FLOOR SERVICE HOLE COVER
- REMOVE FUEL TANK PRESSURE SENSOR (VAPOR PRESSURE SENSOR ASSEMBLY)
Refer to PROCEDURE - Step 3
- DISCONNECT FUEL TANK VENT HOSE SUB-ASSEMBLY
- Disconnect the fuel tank vent hose sub-assembly from the fuel suction tube with pump and gauge assembly.
Refer to PRECAUTION [10/2018 - ]
- Disconnect the fuel tank vent hose sub-assembly from the fuel suction tube with pump and gauge assembly.
- DISCONNECT FUEL TANK MAIN TUBE SUB-ASSEMBLY
- Remove the tube joint clip, and pull off the fuel tube joint of the fuel tank main tube sub-assembly.
*1 Plate Sub-assembly *2 Tube Joint Clip *3 Fuel Tank Main Tube Sub-assembly *4 Fuel Tube Joint *5 O-ring *a Nylon Tube Pull off Pull off NOTE:- Remove any foreign matter on the fuel tube joint before performing this work.
- Do not scratch or allow any foreign matter to get on the parts when disconnecting them as the fuel tube connector has O-rings that seal the pipe (fuel pipe).
- Be sure to disconnect the fuel tube joint by hand.
- Do not bend, twist, pinch or kink the nylon tube.
- Cover the disconnected fuel tube joint with a plastic bag to prevent damage and contamination.
- If the fuel tube joint and plate sub-assembly are stuck, push and pull to release them.
- Remove the tube joint clip, and pull off the fuel tube joint of the fuel tank main tube sub-assembly.
- REMOVE FUEL PUMP GAUGE RETAINER
- Disengage the 2 claw to remove the No. 1 fuel tube clamp.
- Remove the fuel pump gauge retainer.
- Temporarily install SST (plate) and SST (claw) to the fuel pump gauge retainer.
- SST: 09808-01071
- SST: 09808-14031
- 09808-01030
- 09808-01090
HINT:
Securely insert the ends of SST (claw) into the insertion points in the fuel pump gauge retainer.
*a Insertion Point *b SST (Plate) *c SST (Claw) *d SST (Bolt) - 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 SST (Handle) *b SST (Plate) *c SST (Claw) *d SST (Bolt) - SST: 09808-01071
- SST: 09808-14031
- 09808-01010
- 09808-01030
- 09808-01090
- Lightly press down on SST to prevent it from separating from the fuel pump gauge retainer. While pressing down on SST, rotate SST (handle) slowly to loosen the fuel pump gauge retainer.NOTE:
- Do not use any tools other than specified in this operation as this may result in damage to the fuel pump gauge retainer or the 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.
- While pressing down on the fuel suction tube with pump and gauge assembly, remove the fuel pump gauge retainer.
- Temporarily install SST (plate) and SST (claw) to the fuel pump gauge retainer.
- Disengage the 2 claw to remove the No. 1 fuel tube clamp.
- REMOVE FUEL SUCTION TUBE WITH PUMP AND GAUGE ASSEMBLY
