Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
Leak Detection Pump: Installation
The Leak Detection Pump (LDP) is attached (bolted) to the front of the fuel tank. The LDP filter is located on the end of a hose. This hose is attached to the fuel fill tube assembly below and near the fuel fill opening. The LDP and LDP filter are replaced (serviced) as one unit.
- Install electrical connector to LDP. Push red colored tab downward to lock connector to LDP.
- Position LDP and LDP bracket to fuel tank mounting studs and install 2 nuts. Tighten nuts to 1 N.m (11 in. lbs.) torque.
- Raise fuel tank to body and tighten 2 strap bolts to 61 N.m (45 ft. lbs.) torque.
- Carefully install vapor/vacuum lines to LDP, and install hose to LDP filter. The vapor/vacuum lines and hoses must be firmly connected. Check the vapor/vacuum lines at the LDP, LDP filter and EVAP canister duty cycle purge solenoid for damage or leaks. If a leak is present, a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) may be set.
