(b) Do not smoke or work near fire when handling the fuel system.

(c) Keep fuel away from rubber or leather parts.

DISCHARGE FUEL SYSTEM PRESSURE

CAUTION:

  • Make sure the engine coolant temperature is 60°C (140°F) or less when performing this procedure.
  • Do not disconnect any part of the fuel system until you have discharged the fuel system pressure.
  • 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.

(a) When discharging fuel system pressure by disconnecting the EFI MAIN NO. 2 relay:

(1) Remove the engine room relay block cover.

(2) Remove the EFI MAIN NO. 2 relay.

(3) Disconnect the No. 6 engine wire connector and No. 7 engine wire connector.

(4) Start the engine. After the engine has stopped on its own, turn the ignition switch off.

NOTICE:

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

(5) Crank the engine again and make sure that the engine does not start.

HINT:

DTC P008700 (Fuel Rail / System Pressure - Too Low), P017100/P017400 (System Too Lean), P160300 (Engine Stall History), P160400 (Startability Malfunction) or P160500 (Rough Idling) may be stored. Clear the DTCs before proceeding to the next step.
