How to Change a Fuel Pump on a 2001 Hyundai Sonata

The Hyundai Sonata is a mid-size sedan that Hyundai has manufactured since 1985. All engines for the 2001 Hyundai Sonata have multi-port fuel injection, which requires a fuel pump to deliver fuel at high pressure. The fuel pump in this vehicle is located within the field type. The replacement of the fuel pump in a 2001 Hyundai Sonata therefore requires you to first remove the fuel tank in order to gain access to the fuel pump.

Instructions

1

Remove the seat cushion from the rear seat, and open the access panel. Disconnect the electrical connector for the fuel pump module.

2

Start the engine, and allow it to run until it stalls. Turn the ignition off and remove the cable to the negative battery terminal with a socket wrench. This will prevent the possibility of starting the car accidentally while youre working on it.

3

Place a hose into the filler tube of the fuel tank. Siphon as much gas as possible into a gasoline container.

4

Disconnect the fuel lines from the fuel tank, and detach the electrical connector for the fuel level center. Support the fuel tank with jack stands, and loosen the bolts for the fuel tank straps. Lower the fuel tank from the vehicle.

5

Remove the mounting bolts for the fuel pump module, and disconnect the fuel pump module from the fuel tank. Connect the new fuel pump module to the fuel tank and tighten the mounting bolts to between 12 and 24 inch-pounds with a torque wrench. Complete the installation by performing Step 4 in reverse. Fill the fuel tank and check for fuel leaks.
