Removal [01/2019 - 04/2020]: Procedure
WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
- PRECAUTION NOTE:
After turning the ignition 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.
- DISCHARGE FUEL SYSTEM PRESSURE
Refer to PRECAUTION [01/2019 - 04/2020]
- DISCONNECT CABLE FROM NEGATIVE AUXILIARY BATTERY TERMINAL
Refer to PROCEDURE - Step 1
- REMOVE REAR SEAT ASSEMBLY
Refer to REMOVAL [01/2019 - ]
- REMOVE NO. 18 WIRING HARNESS PROTECTOR
- REMOVE REAR FLOOR SERVICE HOLE COVER
- Disconnect the 2 rear seat inner with center belt assembly LH connectors.
- Disengage the clamp.
- Remove the 2 bolts and rear seat back hinge sub-assembly center.
- Using a clip remover with its tip wrapped with protective tape, remove the rear floor service hole cover and butyl tape.
*a Protective Tape - Disconnect the fuel suction tube with pump and gauge assembly connector.
- Disconnect the 2 rear seat inner with center belt assembly LH connectors.
- DISCONNECT NO. 1 FUEL EVAPORATION TUBE SUB-ASSEMBLY
- DISCONNECT CHARCOAL CANISTER OUTLET HOSE
- 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 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 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 PUMP GAUGE RETAINER
- Disengage the 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) and an extension bar to SST (plate).
*a SST (Handle) *b SST (Plate) *c SST (Claw) *d SST (Bolt) *e Extension Bar - 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.
- Disengage the claw to remove the No. 1 fuel tube clamp.
