- Ensure ignition is off. Remove fuel pump relay from power distribution center. Power distribution center is located at driver's side front corner of engine compartment, near air cleaner assembly. Fuel pump relay may be identified by label on inside of power distribution center cover.
- Start engine and allow engine to idle until engine stalls. Attempt restarting engine until engine will no longer run. Ensure ignition is off. Disconnect negative battery cable from remote battery cable terminal on driver's side strut tower. Remove fuel tank filler cap from fuel tank to release any pressure from fuel tank.
- Fuel system components may now be serviced. Use care when servicing fuel system components, as some fuel pressure may still exist in the fuel system. Reinstall fuel tank filler cap, fuel pump relay and negative battery cable once fuel system components are serviced.
- Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) may have been stored in Powertrain Control Module (PCM) due to the removal of fuel pump relay. For clearing DTCs from PCM, see CLEARING DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES under SELF-DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM.
CAUTION:
Use care when servicing fuel system components, as some fuel pressure may still exist in the fuel system.
