Removal [11/2022 - ]: Procedure
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2025 Toyota Corolla Cross, 2024 Toyota Corolla Cross, and 2023 Toyota Corolla Cross. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- PRECAUTION NOTE:
After turning the ignition switch off, waiting time may be required before disconnecting the cable from the negative (-) auxiliary battery terminal.
Refer to BEFORE DISCONNECTING BATTERY [11/2022 - 11/2023] , or refer to BEFORE DISCONNECTING BATTERY [11/2023 - ]
- DISCHARGE FUEL SYSTEM PRESSURE
Refer to PRECAUTION [11/2022 - ]
- DISCONNECT CABLE FROM NEGATIVE AUXILIARY BATTERY TERMINAL
Refer to REMOVAL [11/2022 - ]
- REMOVE REAR SEAT ASSEMBLY
Refer to REMOVAL [11/2022 - ]
- REMOVE REAR FLOOR SERVICE HOLE COVER
- REMOVE FUEL TANK PRESSURE SENSOR (VAPOR PRESSURE SENSOR)
Refer to PROCEDURE - Step 3 - REMOVE NO. 1 FUEL TUBE CLAMP
- REMOVE 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 [11/2022 - ]
- 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
*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 Nylon Tube - - Pull off Pull off - Remove the tube joint clip, and pull off the fuel tube joint of the fuel tank main tube sub-assembly.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 fuel suction 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 GAUGE WIRE
- REMOVE NO. 4 FUEL TUBE CLAMP
- REMOVE FUEL PUMP GAUGE RETAINER
*a Insertion Point *b SST (Plate) *c SST (Claw) *d SST (Bolt) *e SST (Handle) - - - 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.
- While firmly pressing SST (claw) into the insertion points in the fuel pump gauge retainer, tighten SST (bolt).
- Install SST (handle) and an extension bar to SST (plate).
- SST: 09808-14031
- 09808-01010
- SST: 09808-14031
- 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 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.
- 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.
- REMOVE FUEL SUCTION TUBE WITH PUMP AND GAUGE ASSEMBLY
