Fuel Pressure Relief With High Pressure Pump - LLT
Warning: Fuel that flows out at high pressure can cause serious injury to the skin and eyes. ALWAYS depressurize the fuel system before removing components that are under high fuel pressure.
Note: If a scan tool is not available, WAIT at LEAST 2 hours after the engine has been run, before removing the high pressure fuel line.
- Install a scan tool to the vehicle and command the fuel pump relay OFF, allowing the low pressure fuel pump to shut off.
- Start the vehicle and allow the engine to idle until the engine stops. The engine will stop in approximately 20-30 seconds.
- Turn the ignition OFF.
- Using the scan tool, verify that there is little to no fuel pressure, if there still is fuel pressure repeat step 2.
Fuel Pressure Relief Without CH 48027 - LY7
Warning: Refer to Gasoline/Gasoline Vapors Warning in the Preface section.
Warning: Remove the fuel tank cap and relieve the fuel system pressure before servicing the fuel system in order to reduce the risk of personal injury. After you relieve the fuel system pressure, a small
amount of fuel may be released when servicing the fuel lines, the fuel injection pump, or the connections. In order to reduce the risk of personal injury, cover the fuel system components with a shop towel before disconnection. This will catch any fuel that
may leak out. Place the towel in an approved container when the disconnection is complete.
- If the fuel system requires repair, prevent fuel spillage by removing the fuel pump fuse. Refer to
Electrical Center Identification Views.
- Loosen the fuel fill cap in order to relieve the fuel tank vapor pressure.
- Remove the engine cover, if required.
- Remove the fuel rail service port cap.
- Wrap a shop towel around the fuel rail service port and using a small flat-bladed tool, depress (open) the fuel rail test port valve.
- Remove the shop towel from around the fuel rail service port, and place in an approved gasoline container.
- Install the fuel rail service port cap.
- Install the engine cover, if required.
- Tighten the fuel fill cap.
