Removal Procedure

    Caution: Refer to Gasoline/Gasoline Vapors Caution in the Preface section.


    Object Number: 1820531 Size: SH
  1. Remove the common rail assembly. Refer to Fuel Injection Fuel Rail Assembly Replacement .
  2. Clean interface area of the rail pressure sensor using proper degreasing materials and compressed air for drying.

    3. Notice: 

       • Use care when servicing the fuel system components, especially the fuel injector electrical connectors, the fuel injector tips, and the injector O-rings. Plug the inlet and the outlet ports of the fuel rail in order to prevent contamination.
       • Do not use compressed air to clean the fuel rail assembly as this may damage the fuel rail components.
