WARNING:
  • Do not smoke or carry lighted tobacco or open flame of any type when working on or near any fuel-related components. Highly flammable mixtures are always present and may be ignited. Failure to follow these instructions can result in personal injury.
  • Do not carry personal electronic devices such as cell phones, pagers or audio equipment of any type when working on or near any fuel-related components. Highly flammable mixtures are always present and may be ignited. Failure to follow these instructions can result in personal injury.

The fuel system consists of the:

  • fuel tank.
  • fuel tank filler pipe.
  • fuel pump module.
  • fuel level sensor.
  • fuel tubes.
  • fuel filter.
  • fuel injectors.
  • fuel rail.
  • fuel tank pressure transducer.
  • inertia fuel shutoff (IFS) switch.
  • fuel injection pressure temperature sensor.

The vehicle:

  • uses an electronic returnless fuel system, has a dual-container (saddle-type) fuel tank, has a fuel level sensor in the right fuel tank half.
  • has a fuel pump module that supplies fuel under pressure to the fuel rail.
  • has a fuel filter located on the passenger side in front of the fuel tank.
  • is equipped with a sequential multi-port fuel injection (MFI) system.
  • uses separately controlled fuel injectors for each cylinder. The fuel injectors are mounted to the intake manifold.
  • fuel injectors are supplied with pressurized fuel from the fuel pump module to the fuel rail.
  • fuel injection rail pressure is controlled by the electronic fuel delivery module which is enabled by the powertrain control module (PCM).
  • has a fuel tank filler pipe assembly, which cannot be modified in any way and is serviced only by installation of a new fuel tank filler pipe assembly.
  • has a fuel injection pressure sensor, which monitors the fuel pressure during running and key on/engine off conditions.
  • has an inertia fuel shutoff (IFS) switch located in the passenger side footwell that shuts off fuel in the event of a collision.
