NOTE:

The Fuel Pump Control Module is between floor panel and fuel delivery unit (right-side). The Fuel Pump Control Module is mounted on top of the fuel tank and will require the tank assembly to be removed for accessing the module and harness. Refer to the appropriate Service Information for removal procedure.

When the door is opened the fuel pump is activated for 2 seconds to build up the pressure in the fuel system.

Models with an airbag are installed with a fuel shut - off system. It reduces the danger of a fire in a crash as the fuel pump is switched off via the fuel pump relay.
