Precaution [11/2016 - ]

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
  1. PRECAUTIONS 
    1. Before inspecting and repairing the fuel system, disconnect the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal.
    2. Do not smoke or work near fire when handling the fuel system.
    3. Keep fuel away from rubber or leather parts.
  2. DISCHARGE FUEL SYSTEM PRESSURE 
    WARNING:
    • Make sure the engine coolant temperature is 60°C (140°F) or less when performing this procedure.
    • Perform the following procedure to prevent fuel from spraying before removing any fuel system parts.
    • Pressure will still remain in the fuel lines even after performing the following procedure. When disconnecting a fuel line, cover it with a piece of cloth to prevent fuel from spraying or coming out.
    1. When discharging fuel system pressure by disconnecting the C/OPN relay:
      1. Remove the engine room relay block and junction block assembly cover.
      2. Remove the C/OPN relay.
      3. Start the engine. After the engine has stopped on its own, turn the ignition switch off.
        NOTE:

        Do not increase the engine speed or drive the vehicle while waiting for the engine to stop on its own.

      4. Crank the engine again and make sure that the engine does not start.

        HINT: 

        DTC P0171 (System Too Lean), P1603 (Engine Stall History), P1604 (Startability Malfunction) and P1605 (Rough Idling) may be stored. Clear the DTCs before proceeding to the next step.

        Refer to DTC CHECK / CLEAR [11/2016 - ]

      5. Remove the fuel tank cap assembly and discharge the pressure from the fuel tank assembly.
      6. Disconnect the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal.
        NOTE:

        When disconnecting the cable, some systems need to be initialized after the cable is reconnected.

        Refer to INITIALIZATION [11/2016 - ]

      7. Install the C/OPN relay.
      8. Install the engine room relay block and junction block assembly cover.

      1. Disconnect the fuel pump connector.

        Refer to REMOVAL [12/2013 - ]

      2. Start the engine. After the engine has stopped on its own, turn the ignition switch off.
        NOTE:

        Do not increase the engine speed or drive the vehicle while waiting for the engine to stop on its own.

      3. Crank the engine again and make sure that the engine does not start.

        HINT: 

        DTC P0171 (System Too Lean), P1603 (Engine Stall History), P1604 (Startability Malfunction) and P1605 (Rough Idling) may be stored. Clear the DTCs before proceeding to the next step.
