- DISCHARGE FUEL SYSTEM PRESSURE CAUTION:
- Do not disconnect any part of the fuel system until you have discharged the fuel system pressure.
- Even after discharging the fuel pressure, place a cloth or equivalent over fittings as you separate them to reduce the risk of fuel spray on yourself or in the engine compartment.
- Disconnect the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal.NOTE:
- Some systems need to be initialized after the cable is reconnected (see INITIALIZATION ).
- After the ignition switch is turned OFF, the navigation system requires approximately 90 seconds to record various types of memory and settings. As a result, after turning the ignition switch OFF, wait 90 seconds or more before disconnecting the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal.
- Disconnect the 2 fuel pump ECU connectors.
- Connect the cable to the negative (-) battery terminal.
- Start the engine. After the engine has stopped on its own, turn the ignition switch OFF.
HINT:
DTC P0171/0174 (system too lean) may be set.
- Crank the engine again, then check that the engine does not start.
