Hybrid fuel system inspection, filter service, and DTC review per OEM.
Access procedure
- Relieve fuel system pressure per Toyota service information (fuel pump relay/fuse, crank briefly if directed).
- Disconnect the battery negative terminal.

- Remove the pump lock ring with the specified tool; lift the module carefully to avoid damaging the level sender.
- Extract contaminated fuel with approved equipment; inspect the tank interior through the opening.
- Reinstall with a new pump O-ring/gasket; reconnect lines and verify no leaks before starting.
- Prime and clear codes per Toyota repair manual; road test when fuel quality is confirmed.
