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.

Do not smoke or work near fire when handling the fuel system.
Keep fuel away from rubber or leather parts.
DISCHARGE FUEL SYSTEM PRESSURE
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.
When discharging fuel system pressure by disconnecting the fuel suction tube with pump and gauge assembly connector:
Remove the rear floor service hole cover.
Disconnect the fuel suction tube with pump and gauge assembly connector.
Disconnect the No. 4 engine wire connector.
Start the engine. After the engine has stopped on its own, turn the ignition switch off.
Do not increase the engine speed or drive the vehicle while waiting for the engine to stop on its own.
Crank the engine again and make sure that the engine does not start.
DTC P008700 (Fuel Rail / System Pressure - Too Low), P017100 (System Too Lean Bank 1), P160300 (Engine Stall History), P160400 (Startability Malfunction) or P160500 (Rough Idling) may be stored. Clear the DTCs before proceeding to the next step.
