Removal Procedure
- Disconnect the negative battery cable.
- Remove the clip from the resonator.
- Remove the resonator.
- Disconnect the electrical connector to the fuel temperature sensor (FTS) (1).
- Loosen the FTS sensor retaining bolt.
- Remove the FTS sensor.
Caution: Unless directed otherwise, the ignition and start switch must be in the OFF or LOCK position, and all electrical loads must be OFF before servicing any electrical component. Disconnect the negative battery cable to prevent an electrical spark should a tool or equipment come in contact with an exposed electrical terminal. Failure to follow these precautions may result in personal injury and/or damage to the vehicle or its components.
Inspection Procedure
- Inspect the sensor for damage.
- Replace the sensor if the sensor is worn or damaged.
- Inspect the packing for cracks or leaks.
- Replace the packing if the packing is worn or damaged.
Installation Procedure
- Install the FTS sensor (1).
- Install the FTS retaining bolt.
- Connect the electrical connector to the fuel temperature sensor.
- Install the resonator.
- Install the clip to the resonator.
- Connect the negative battery cable.
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.
Tighten
Tighten the retaining bolt to 19.6 N·m (173 lb in).
