Fuel Pressure Release

1995 Dodge and Ram Caravan Base, 2.5 KSECTION Fuel Pressure Release
  1. Fuel pressure must be fully released before opening fuel system or removing any fuel-carrying components. To release pressure in tank, open fuel tank cap slowly.
  2. To release remaining pressure in system, disconnect injector wiring harness. Connect a jumper wire between fuel rail harness connector A142 circuit terminal (Dark Green/Orange wire) and battery voltage. Ground one end of another jumper wire and use it to momentarily ground one injector. Repeat this procedure for 2 or 3 injectors or until no pressure exists.
WARNING: Before disconnecting any fuel line, or fuel system component during testing, repeat FUEL PRESSURE RELEASE procedure. Perform FUEL PUMP TEST with fuel tank at least half full.
