On The Hoist

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 Suzuki XL7. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
WARNING:

Fuel supply lines will remain pressurized for long periods of time after the engine is shutdown. This pressure must be relieved before servicing the fuel system.

  1. Connect the scan tool to the vehicle diagnostic connector and turn the ignition ON.
  2. Relieve the fuel system pressure. Refer to FUEL PRESSURE RELIEF (WITH J 34730-1A)  and FUEL PRESSURE RELIEF (WITHOUT J 34730-1A) .
    WARNING:

    Ensure that the vehicle is properly supported and squarely positioned. To help avoid personal injury when a vehicle is on a hoist, provide additional support for the vehicle on the opposite end from which the components are being removed.

  3. Raise the vehicle on a hoist to a comfortable working height, keeping the scan tool outside of the vehicle and accessible from under the car.
