Fuel System Pressure Release (Samurai & Sidekick)

1. Place transmission in Neutral (M/T) or Park (A/T). Set parking brake and block drive wheels. On Samurai, disconnect fuel pump relay connector. Fuel pump relay is located on right kick panel, above ECM. See Fig 1 .
2. On Sidekick, disconnect control relay connector "A." Control relay is located on left kick panel. See Fig 2 . On all models, remove fuel filler cap to release fuel vapor pressure in fuel tank.
3. Reinstall fuel filler cap. Start engine and run until engine runs out of fuel. After engine runs out of fuel, crank engine 2-3 times for about 3 seconds to dissipate fuel pressure in lines. Reconnect fuel pump relay connector (Samurai) or control relay connector "A" (Sidekick).
