Today, we’ll be removing and replacing the fuel pump on a 2006 Toyota Camry, but procedures will vary, so be sure to know the specifics for your vehicle before getting started.
Once you’ve got your supplies together, here’s what you’ll do:
It’s important to keep everything clean during the process of fuel pump replacement. Contaminants like dirt and debris, rust or scale are the primary cause of fuel pump failure. Premature failure because of contaminants can void your pump warranty.
Park on a level surface … and open the hood.
Disconnect the negative battery cable and set it aside.
Depending on your vehicle, you’ll either need to find an access port to your fuel pump or drop your fuel tank for access. We’ll gain access to the fuel pump in our Camry by removing the bottom cushion of the back seat.
In some cases, especially if your fuel tank is metal and has begun to rust or developed corrosion or scale, the tank itself needs to be replaced along with the fuel pump.
If your tank is plastic, whether you’re dropping it to replace the fuel pump or not, it’s essential to wipe it out as thoroughly as possible with a lint-free cloth. This may require the tank to be drained, and in some cases, removed, to ensure that all contaminants are removed from the tank.
Once you’ve found access to the fuel pump, use a pry bar to dislodge the cover.
Press in the tab on the side of the wiring harness connector to disengage it.
We’ll remove this cover from the harness and set it to the side to make sure the adhesive doesn’t stick to any upholstery, and make it a little easier to work around.
Use a vacuum with an appropriate attachment to remove any dirt and debris around the opening to the fuel pump assembly.
Remove the fasteners around the top of the fuel pump. Depending on the type of fuel pump or vehicle you’re working on, it may be held by a sealing ring or other type of retainer instead.
