RESETTING THE FUEL PUMP SHUT-OFF SWITCH

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 on a bracket inside of the luggage compartment.

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

pushing 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.

A photo of the switch location is on page 134 of the OM.
