WARNING:
Battery acid and battery acid fumes are extremely dangerous and can cause severe burns and explosion. To help reduce the risk of personal injury:
- Wear appropriate goggles and protective clothing.
- Always properly ventilate the area where the service is being performed.
- Never allow battery fluid to come in contact with skin, eyes, fabrics, or painted surfaces.
- To avoid arcing, remove the negative (-) battery cable first and attach the negative (-) battery cable last.
- If acid contacts eyes, skin or clothing, immediately flush with water for 15 minutes and seek medical attention.
WARNING:
The fuel system (fuel pump, high pressure fuel lines, fuel rail, injectors) contains very high pressure fuel. To avoid the risk of personal injury or fire:
- Do not loosen any fittings while the engine is running.
- Wait at least 10 minutes after shutting down the engine before loosening any fittings in the high-pressure fuel system to allow pressure to decrease to a lower level.
- Wear appropriate eye protection and protective equipment as high-pressure fuel spray can penetrate skin.
- Never smoke or allow sparks or flames (such as pilot lights, electrical switches, or welding equipment) in the work area. Never allow diesel fuel to spill onto a hot exhaust manifold which can cause a fire.
- Disconnect the battery or batteries. Refer to Battery Disconnect .
- Remove the air cleaner lid and air inlet connection air ducts.CAUTION: Cap or wrap the air inlet ducts with suitable material to avoid dirt or contaminants from entering the air inlet system or engine.
- Clean the area around the fuel temperature sensor.
- Disconnect the harness connector from the fuel temperature sensor (2).
- Using a suitable tool, remove the fuel temperature sensor from the fuel filter housing [Stage 2 (1)].
