Fuel Pump Relay: Montero

  1. Turn the ignition off.
  2. Remove the fuel pump relay (2). Connect terminal number 3 of the harness-side connector to the battery. See Fig 1. Check if the fuel pump operation sound can be heard at this time.
    NOTE: As the fuel pump is an in-tank type, the fuel pump sound is hard to hear. Remove the fuel tank filler tube cap and check from the tank inlet.
  3. Check the fuel pressure by pinching the fuel hose with your fingertips.
  4. Install the fuel pump relay (2).
