Removal Procedure
- Remove the air conditioning (A/C) compressor. Refer to
Air Conditioning Compressor Replacement
in Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning.
- Disconnect the fuel rail pressure sensor (1) electrical connector.
- Prior to removal, clean the function block and fuel pressure sensor thoroughly
with solvent, such as GM P/N 12377981 (Canadian P/N 10953463)
or equivalent.
- Using compressed air, thoroughly blow dry the block and sensor.
- Remove the sensor and metal gasket from the function block. Discard the
gasket.
Installation Procedure
If a crows foot is used to torque the sensor then special attention
to the position of the crows foot in relation to the torque wrench is required.
- Install the sensor and a NEW metal gasket to the function block.
Notice: Use the correct fastener in the correct location. Replacement fasteners
must be the correct part number for that application. Fasteners requiring
replacement or fasteners requiring the use of thread locking compound or sealant
are identified in the service procedure. Do not use paints, lubricants, or
corrosion inhibitors on fasteners or fastener joint surfaces unless specified.
These coatings affect fastener torque and joint clamping force and may damage
the fastener. Use the correct tightening sequence and specifications when
installing fasteners in order to avoid damage to parts and systems.
- If the crows foot is kept perpendicular (90 degrees) to the torque wrench during
the entire tightening procedure, then the torque wrench can be set to the listed
torque specification.
Tighten
Tighten the sensor to 70 N·m (52 lb ft).
- Connect the sensor (1) electrical connector.
- Install the A/C compressor. Refer to
Air Conditioning Compressor Replacement
in Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning.
