Title: M20A-FKS (FUEL): FUEL SYSTEM: PRECAUTION; 2023 MY Corolla Corolla Hatchback [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 assembly is very heavy. Be sure to follow the procedure described in the repair manual, or the fuel tank 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.

IGNITION SWITCH EXPRESSIONS

(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 engine room relay block cover.

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