FUEL

FUEL PUMP SHUT-OFF SWITCH

RESET

The fuel pump shut-off switch is a device intended to stop the electric

fuel pump when your vehicle has been involved in a substantial jolt.

After a collision, if the engine cranks but does not start, the fuel pump

shut-off switch may have been activated.

The fuel pump shut-off switch is

located in the passenger’s foot well,

by the kick panel.

Use the following procedure to reset

the fuel pump shut-off switch.

1. Turn the ignition to the off

position.

2. Check the fuel system for leaks.

3. If no fuel leak is apparent, reset

the fuel pump shut-off switch by

pressing in on the reset button.

4. Turn the ignition to the on

position. Pause for a few seconds

and return the key to the off

position.

5. Make a further check for leaks in

the fuel system.

FUSES AND RELAYS

Fuses

If electrical components in the

vehicle are not working, a fuse may

have blown. Blown fuses are

identified by a broken wire within

15

the fuse. Check the appropriate

fuses before replacing any electrical

components.

Note: Always replace a fuse with one that has the specified amperage

rating. Using a fuse with a higher amperage rating can cause severe wire

damage and could start a fire.
