Solution

1. Preparation

• Gather necessary tools and parts.
• Ensure the vehicle is on a flat surface and the engine is off.
• Disconnect the negative battery terminal to prevent electrical shock.

2. Access Fuel Pump

• Remove the rear seat or access panel to reach the fuel pump module.
• Disconnect any electrical connectors and fuel lines attached to the fuel pump.
• Use a socket set to remove the retaining ring or screws securing the fuel pump in place.

3. Inspect and Replace Fuel Pump

• Carefully lift the fuel pump assembly out of the tank.
• Inspect the old fuel pump for signs of wear, damage, or debris.
• If replacement is necessary, install the new fuel pump by reversing the removal steps:
  • Ensure the O-ring is properly seated to prevent leaks.
  • Secure the pump with the retaining ring or screws to the specified torque (typically around 10-15 ft-lbs, but check the service manual for exact specifications).

4. Reconnect Components

• Reattach the fuel lines and electrical connectors to the fuel pump assembly.
• Reinstall the access panel or rear seat.

5. Final Checks

• Reconnect the negative battery terminal.
• Turn the ignition to the "on" position to prime the fuel system and check for leaks.
• Start the engine and listen for any abnormal noises.
