There are several steps you can follow to make removing the existing fuel pump safer and easier before installing a new one.
Step 1: Relieve Fuel Pressure (Important Safety Step)
First, remove the EFI fuel fuse to stop the fuel pump from operating and to prevent pressure buildup in the fuel hose.
Then, crank the engine 1–2 times to release any remaining fuel pressure inside the hose.
This step is important because it helps prevent fuel from spraying out when you disconnect the fuel lines later.
Step 2: Access the Fuel Pump
The fuel pump is located underneath the rear left passenger seat.
Remove the left rear seat.
Unscrew the seatbelt bolt on the left passenger side.
Slightly lift the rear seat to detach the carpet from the seat clips.
Pull the carpet aside to expose the fuel pump access panel.
Tools Required
14mm socket spanner (or impact wrench) – for seat bolts
17mm socket spanner (or impact wrench) – for seatbelt bolt
6mm socket or Phillips screwdriver – for fuel pump screws/bolts
Extra Tip
Using an impact wrench can significantly speed up the process, especially when dealing with tight or old bolts.
