High Pressure Fuel Pump Removal/Installation




HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [L3 WITH TC]

CAUTION:
- Do not disassemble the high pressure fuel pump.
- Do not scratch or damage the fuel sealing surface of the high and low fuel ports.
- When removing the high pressure fuel pipe, secure the joint (pump side) so that it dose not rotate, and loosen the screw (pipe side).

NOTE:
- If the high pressure fuel pump is removed, replace the O-ring with a new one.

1. Complete the "BEFORE SERVICE PRECAUTION". (See Before Service Precaution.)

2. Remove the battery cover. Removal and Replacement

3. Disconnect the negative battery cable.

4. Remove the charge air cooler cover. (See Service and Repair)

5. Disconnect the spill valve control solenoid valve connector.

6. Disconnect the quick release connector on the high pressure fuel pump. Service and Repair

7. Remove the battery and battery tray. Removal and Replacement

8. Remove the air duct. (See Service and Repair)

WARNING:
- If the high pressure fuel pump joint nut is loosened, fuel leakage may occur resulting in death or serious injury, or damage to the equipment or the vehicle. Fuel can also irritate the skin and eyes. When removing the high pressure line pipe, always tighten the high pressure line pipe installation nut while fixing the high pressure fuel pump joint nut with a wrench. If the high pressure fuel pump joint nut has rotated, replace the high pressure fuel pump with a new one.

9. Disconnect the high pressure line pipe of the high pressure fuel pump.






a. Fix the joint nut with a wrench on the high pressure fuel pump side as shown in the figure.

b. Loosen the high pressure line pipe installation nut.

10. Drain engine coolant. (See Service and Repair.)

11. Loosen the water outlet case installation bolts securing the high pressure line pipe.

12. Remove the following part:

- High pressure fuel pump
- Tension collar






13. Perform the following procedure when removing the high pressure fuel pump cover.
a. Remove the drain plug and drain the engine oil accumulated in the high-pressure fuel pump cover.
NOTE:
- 20-30 ml {20-30 cc, 1.3-1.8 cu in} of engine oil will drain out when the plug is removed so put a cloth under the drain plug beforehand.






b. Remove the high pressure fuel pump cover.






c. Install the high pressure fuel pump cover.






i. Apply the silicone sealant to the contact surfaces of the camshaft cap and cylinder head.

Diameter
- 5 mm {0.2 in}

ii. Tighten the high pressure fuel pump cover bolts.

Tightening torque
- 17-23 Nm {1.8-2.3 kgf-m, 13-16 ft-lbf}

iii. Apply the silicone sealant to the drain plug.

iv. Tighten the drain plug.

Tightening torque
- 11.8-17.6 Nm {121-179 kgf-cm, 105-155 in-lbf}

CAUTION:
- If the high pressure fuel pump installation bolts are tightened with the high pressure fuel pump tilted, the high pressure fuel pump may not operate correctly. Tighten the high pressure fuel pump installation bolts in a few passes with equal torque.

14. Tighten the bolts on the high pressure fuel pump.

Tightening torque
- 8.5-11.5 Nm {87-117 kgf-cm, 76-101 in-lbf}

WARNING:
- If the high pressure fuel pump joint nut is loosened, fuel leakage may occur resulting in death or serious injury, or damage to the equipment or the vehicle. Fuel can also irritate the skin and eyes. When installing the high pressure line pipe, always tighten the high pressure line pipe installation nut while fixing the high pressure fuel pump joint nut with a wrench. If the high pressure fuel pump joint nut has rotated, replace the high pressure fuel pump with a new one.

15. Assemble the high pressure line pipe.






a. Fix the joint nut with a wrench on the high pressure fuel pump side as shown in the figure.

b. Tighten the high pressure line pipe installation nut.

Tightening torque
- 23.5-35.5 Nm {2.40-3.59 kgf-m, 17.4-26.0 ft-lbf}

16. Tighten the water outlet case installation bolts.

Tightening torque
- 8-11.5 Nm {82-117 kgf-cm, 71-101 in-lbf}

17. Install the quick release connector. (See Service and Repair.)

Fuel Leakage Inspection After High Pressure Fuel Pump Installation

1. Verify that the high pressure fuel pump is assembled securely.

2. Drive the vehicle starting from a standstill and brake suddenly five to six times at a low speed.

3. Stop the vehicle and verify from outside the vehicle that there is no fuel leakage around the high pressure fuel pump.
