To remove the fuel pump/Fuel Level Sensor from a vehicle, first, relieve the fuel system pressure and disconnect the cable from the negative terminal of the battery. Then, remove the rear seat from inside the passenger compartment and the fuel pump/sending unit floor service hole cover. Disconnect the electrical connector and fuel line, and remove the retaining bolts before carefully withdrawing the assembly from the fuel tank. Disconnect the electrical connector from the fuel pump and remove the pump from the assembly, either by sliding the hose clamp up the hose or by removing the fuel-sending unit and fuel filler and prying up the housing snap-retainers in sequence. Finally, remove the clip securing the inlet strainer to the pump and inspect it for contamination before replacing it if necessary. To install the fuel pump/sending unit assembly, reassemble it in the reverse order of disassembly and connect the fuel line and electrical connector before completing the remainder of the installation in reverse.

To remove the fuel pump, first relieve the fuel system pressure and remove the fuel tank cap. Disconnect the cable from the negative terminal of the battery and drain as much fuel from the tank as possible into a proper gasoline container. Lower the fuel tank with a transmission-type jack until the fuel pump connectors are accessible, noting the differences between the fuel pump assembly for the 1998 to 2000 models and later models. Disconnect the electrical connector and the fuel line, and if there are quick-connect fittings, address those accordingly. Remove the retaining screws for the fuel pump/sending unit, set the cover aside, and carefully withdraw the assembly from the tank. Disconnect the electrical connector from the fuel pump and remove the pump from the assembly, following specific steps for different model years regarding the fuel sender, fuel filter, and pressure regulator. Inspect the fuel strainer for contamination and replace it if necessary. For installation, reassemble the fuel pump/sending unit in reverse order, install the assembly in the fuel tank, and connect the fuel line and electrical connector, ensuring any quick-connect fittings are properly addressed. The remainder of the installation follows the reverse of the removal process.

Check the fuel system, make sure the fuel tank has enough fuel. Let someone turn the ignition switch to ON and listen for the fuel pump to switch on and pressurize the systems. If there's no response inspect the fuel pump's electrical circuit for any faults. When checking the fuel pump pressure it is important that you relieve the system pressure, disconnect the fuel filter outlet line, and attach a pressure gauge. While the ignition is on, the fuel pump should run for about two seconds and the pressure should be known. The pressure should remain steady during idle and within pressure limits. Next, inspect the fuses as well as the relays for the electrical circuit. Check the fuel pressure regulator, filter, lines, and Fuel Injector. If the pressure is low, change the regulator and pump. Lastly, check the relays for any continuity and voltage.

To perform a fuel pump pressure check, you should relieve the fuel system pressure, connect a fuel pressure gauge, turn off all accessories, and switch the ignition key on. The fuel pump should run for two seconds, and the pressure should remain steady after it stops.

Either by sliding the hose clamp up the hose or by removing the fuel-sending unit and fuel filler and prying up the housing snap-retainers in sequence.

The electrical connectors and the fuel line need to be disconnected.

Continue with the fuel pump pressure check.

If the fuel pressure is not within specifications, you should check the fuel pressure regulator, fuel filter, fuel lines, and fuel injectors for any issues.
