MATERIALS

 

CAMPAIGN TOOLS

Each dealership will be provided a Crossbar and a set of Cam Lock Retainer Jaws for removing the Cam Lock type retainer rings.  These jaws will be used with the dealerships existing Handle set from the Fuel Sender Lock Nut Wrench Set (09808-14031).  A 1/2” breaker bar can also be used.  This set of tools will supplement the SST kit that each dealership currently has.  Additional SST’s can be purchased through the Lexus Special Service Tools (SST) website.

 

In the affected models, there are four different types of Fuel Pump Retainer Rings.  Reference the following chart to determine the proper tool for removal.

 

BACKGROUND

The subject vehicles are equipped with a low-pressure fuel pump which may stop operating. If this were to occur, warning lights and messages may be displayed on the instrument panel, and the engine may run rough. This may result in a vehicle stall, and the vehicle may be unable to be restarted. If a vehicle stall occurs while driving at higher speeds, this could increase the risk of a crash.

 

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

CAUTION:

  • When installing/uninstalling the fuel system components, keep safety first in mind and carefully observe the following instructions to avoid accidents:
  1. When working on the fuel system, display a Flammable – Keep Fire Away sign.
  2. Smoking is prohibited nearby.
  3. Perform this work in an area where there are no sparks nearby from the operation of welders, grinders, drills, electric motors, stoves, etc.
  4. DO NOT use electrical devices nearby because they can become hot and the operation of power switches can generate sparks.
  5. DO NOT use iron or steel hammers while working, because they may generate sparks.
  6. DO NOT start engines even in adjacent stalls.
  7. Prepare fire extinguishers before starting any work.
  8. Perform this work in a well-ventilated area (natural ventilation). DO NOT use exhaust fans or electric fans, because their motors might generate sparks.
  9. Since it is possible for fuel vapor to build up, DO NOT work in or near a pit.
  10. If fuel is spilled, use shop towels or similar material to quickly wipe it up and then use compressed air to diffuse the fuel vapor.
  11. Shop towels and other materials that have come into contact with fuel should be dried in a well ventilated area and then disposed of as appropriate.
