Disconnect

NOTICE: When reusing fluid or vapor tube connections, always use compressed air to remove any foreign material from the connector retaining clip area before separating from the tube, or damage to the tube or connector clip may occur.

NOTICE: Fuel injection equipment is manufactured to very high tolerances and fine clearances. It is important that absolute cleanliness is observed when working on these components or damage to the component may occur. Always install plugs on any open holes or pipes.

NOTICE: Do not use any tools. Use of tools may deform the retaining clip components, which may result in fuel leakage.

  1. When servicing the quick-release coupling of the fuel feed lines, relieve the fuel system pressure.
    Refer to: Fuel Pressure Release (310-00B Fuel System - General Information — 1.6 L EcoBoost (132 kW/180 L hp) — Sigma, General Procedures).
  2. Disconnect the battery ground cable.
    Refer to: Battery Disconnect and Connect (414-01 Battery, Mounting and Cables, General Procedures).
    • Release the retaining tabs.
    • Lift the clip.
    • Press the release.
  4. Disconnect the quick release coupling from the tube.

Connect

  1. Inspect and clean both ends of the quick-connect coupling.
  2. Push the retainer into the quick release coupling body until the tabs are flush and locked.
  3. Connect the battery ground cable.
    Refer to: Battery Disconnect and Connect (414-01 Battery, Mounting and Cables, General Procedures).
