-
single container (L-shaped) fuel tank.
-
lifetime in tank fuel filter (serviced as part of the fuel pump).
-
Easy Fuel™ (capless) fuel tank filler pipe assembly,
which cannot be modified in any way and is serviced only by the
installation of a new fuel tank filler pipe assembly.
-
fuel tubes (liquid and vapor).
-
FPDM
-
fuel tank pressure sensor (part of the fuel vapor tube assembly).
-
fuel pump and sender.
The vehicle:
-
has a serviceable fuel level sender mounted on the fuel pump module.
-
has a fuel tank filler pipe which contains a mis-fuel
inhibitor to permit only unleaded fuel to be pumped into the fuel tank.
-

Fuel Pump Shut-off Feature
NOTE:
Refer to the Description and Operation, Intelligent Access
with Push Button Start in Section 419-01A to review the procedures for
achieving the various ignition states (ignition OFF, ignition in
ACCESSORY, ignition ON and ignition START) on vehicles with this
feature.
The event notification feature provides other vehicle subsystems with information pertaining to SRS deployment or fuel cutoff status. When an impact occurs which exceeds a pre-determined threshold, the RCM sends a signal on a dedicated circuit to the BCM.
When the BCM receives a crash signal input from the RCM, the BCM initiates fuel cutoff by removing the ground signal from the Fuel Pump Relay and also sends a signal to the PCM on a dedicated circuit, disabling the fuel system.
After the fuel system is disabled, the vehicle can be re-started after carrying out the following steps:
-
Turn the ignition OFF.
-
Turn the ignition to START (on vehicles with push button
start, press the start/stop button while the brake pedal is pressed).
-
Turn the ignition OFF.
-
Turn the ignition ON.

Removal steps in this procedure may contain installation details.

The universal transmitter learns a hand-held transmitter radio
frequency code and stores the code in memory. It consists of 3 buttons
with an indicator lamp. Once the universal transmitter code is stored,
the universal transmitter emits the radio frequency of the hand-held
transmitter when the corresponding button is pressed. The universal
