Fuel System
The fuel system consists of:
- a 2-speed Mechanical Returnless Fuel System (MRFS).
- a standard L-shaped fuel tank.
- an Easy Fuel(TM) (capless) fuel tank filler pipe assembly, which cannot be modified in any way.
- a Fuel Pump (FP) module containing:
- an electric FP (Fuel Pump) , which provides pressurized fuel to the fuel rail.
- a serviceable fuel level sender.
- a check valve, which maintains system pressure after the FP (Fuel Pump) is shut off.
- a pressure relief valve for overpressure protection in the event of restricted fuel flow.
- a lifetime fuel filter providing filtration to protect the fuel injectors from foreign material.
- fuel, vapor and brake tubes in an integrated bundle assembly attached to the underside of the vehicle by retaining clips.
- has a supplemental refueling adapter located in the luggage compartment.
- a FP (Fuel Pump) control module.
Fuel System Shutoff Feature
The vehicle is equipped with a FP (Fuel Pump) shutoff feature that is initiated by the Restraints Control Module (RCM). The FP (Fuel Pump) control module receives an event notification signal from the RCM (Restraints Control Module) to disable the FP (Fuel Pump). The event notification signal is sent on a dedicated circuit between the FP (Fuel Pump) control module and the RCM (Restraints Control Module). Should the vehicle shut-off after a collision due to this feature, restart the vehicle by first turning the ignition to the OFF position and then turn the ignition to the ON position. In some instances, the vehicle may not restart the first time and may take an additional attempt.
