  1. 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.
    1. 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.
    2. Disconnect the 2 fuel pump ECU connectors.
    3. Connect the cable to the negative (-) battery terminal.
    4. Start the engine. After the engine has stopped on its own, turn the ignition switch OFF.
