On 2001 and later models the fuel filter is part of the fuel pump. Caution: Some models are equipped with an anti-theft radio. Before performing a procedure that requires disconnecting the battery, make sure you have the activation code. Relieve the fuel system pressure. Disconnect the negative battery cable. If necessary for access, remove the air cleaner assembly. Remove the clips and detach the hoses from the fuel filter, then remove the filter bracket nuts and lift the assembly out of the engine compartment. Remove the bolt and detach the fuel lines, then remove the bracket nut so the filter can be detached from the bracket assembly and removed. Note the direction that the inlet and outlet pipes are facing. Make sure the new filter is installed so that it's facing the proper direction as noted above. Install the inlet and outlet hoses and secure them with clamps. The remainder of installation is the reverse of the removal procedure.
