components that are under high fuel pressure.
Important: If a scan tool is not available, WAIT at LEAST 2 hours after the engine has been run, before removing the high pressure fuel

2. Start the vehicle and allow the engine to idle until the engine stops. The engine will stop in approximately 20-30 seconds.
3. Turn the ignition OFF.
4. Using the scan tool, verify that there is little to no fuel pressure, if there still is fuel pressure repeat step 2.
