| Title: G16E-GTS (FUEL): FUEL SYSTEM: PRECAUTION; 2023 MY GR Corolla [09/2022 - 11/2022] | ||
PRECAUTION
CAUTION:
-
Never perform work on fuel system components near any possible ignition sources.
- Vaporized fuel could ignite, resulting in a serious accident.
-
Do not perform work on fuel system components without first disconnecting the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal.
- Sparks could cause vaporized fuel to ignite, resulting in a serious accident.
-
The fuel tank sub-assembly is very heavy. Be sure to follow the procedure described in the repair manual, or the fuel tank sub-assembly may fall off the engine lifter.
-
To prevent serious injury due to fuel spray from the high-pressure fuel lines, always discharge fuel system pressure before removing any fuel system components.
BEFORE WORKING ON FUEL SYSTEM
(a) Before inspecting and repairing the fuel system, disconnect the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal.

(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.
- 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.
(a) When discharging fuel system pressure by disconnecting the EFI MAIN NO. 2 relay:
(1) Remove the No. 1 relay block cover.
(2) Remove the EFI MAIN NO. 2 relay.
(3) Disconnect the fuel pump assembly connector.
(4) Start the engine. After the engine has stopped on its own, turn the engine 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) and P017100 (System Too Lean Bank 1) may be stored. Clear the DTCs before proceeding to the next step.

FUEL LINE
(a) When disconnecting a high-pressure fuel line, a large amount of fuel will spray. Perform the following procedure:
(1) Discharge fuel system pressure.
(2) Disconnect the fuel tube.
(3) Drain the fuel remaining inside the fuel tube into a container.
(4) Cover the disconnected fuel pipe and fuel tube connector with plastic bags to prevent damage and contamination.
(b) Quick Type A:
Perform the following procedure when disconnecting a fuel tube connector.
NOTICE:
Remove any foreign matter on the fuel tube connector and fuel pipe before performing this work.
(1) Clamp Type A (EFI Fuel Pipe Clamp):
|
Open |
|
Pull |
Open the cover of the EFI fuel pipe clamp and remove the EFI fuel pipe clamp from the fuel tube connector.
(2) Check that there is no dirt or other foreign matter around the fuel tube connector before disconnecting it. Clean the joint if necessary.
(3) While holding the retainer at the positions shown in the illustration, pull up the retainer to disengage the lock claws.

(5) If the fuel tube connector and fuel pipe are stuck, push and pull the fuel tube connector to release it. Pull the fuel tube connector off of the fuel pipe carefully.
NOTICE:
- 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).
- Do not bend, twist, pinch or kink the nylon tube.
(6) Check that there is no foreign matter on the sealing surfaces of the disconnected fuel lines. Clean them if necessary.
(7) Cover the disconnected fuel pipe and fuel tube connector with plastic bags to prevent damage and contamination.
(c) Quick Type A:
Perform the following procedure when connecting a fuel tube connector.
NOTICE:
Check that there is no damage or foreign matter on the connecting parts of the fuel lines.
(1) Align the fuel tube connector with the fuel pipe, push the fuel tube connector onto the fuel pipe, then push in the retainer to secure the connection.
NOTICE:
Confirm that the retainer makes a "click" sound when pushed.
HINT:
If it is difficult to push the fuel tube connector onto the fuel pipe, apply a small amount of clean gasoline to the tip of the fuel pipe.
