Fuel System Pressure Release
Pressure release
NOTE: The FPDM is located on the LH side, beneath the rear seat cushion.
1. Remove the rear seat cushion. Refer to: Rear Seat Cushion (501-10B Rear Seats, Removal and Installation).
2. NOTE: On vehicles equipped with Gasoline Turbocharged Direct Injection (GTDI), running the engine with the FPDM disconnected will remove most of the pressure from both the low and high pressure sides of the system.
Disconnect the FPDM electrical connector.
3. Start the engine and allow it to idle until the engine stalls.
4. Turn the ignition switch to the off position.
5. When the fuel system service is complete, reconnect the FPDM electrical connector.
