Fuel control pump control module removal

Hey guys, first post here but have use for research many times. I'm getting the crank/no start issue. and I'm going to swap out the fuel pump control module. I located it easily enough but cant figure out how it's attached. I don't see any bolts or screws to remove. I watched a bunch of videos discussing the problem but can't see how to remove it. Any help would be appreciated, Thanks in advance, Orion.

 

There's a bracket that attaches the module to the frame. To remove it, remove the nut on the outside of the frame just above the tire.

 

Post if it solves your problem

 

Thank you. now just waiting for the part to come in.

 

I felt like an idiot when I look on the other side of the frame and saw the bolts.

 

If it doesn't solve your problem check the wiring harness that goes from the fuel pump module to the fuel pump. It's a very common problem if your area uses road salt for the connectors to corrode and cause the fuel pump not to run.

 

Ok so new oem module came but did not fix the problem. Is there a way to jumper at the relay to bypass the module an make the fuel pump come on?

 

I've seen this a few times and it's usually the harness between the pump and module that's the issue.

You can't jump a relay to run the pump. When you installed the module there was a connector with just two wires. That wiring harness goes to the fuel pump to power it up. Follow the harness back to the fuel pump. Remove the harness and check for continuity. Your looking for a break and corrosion. If fhe harness is good then the problem is the fuel pump in the tank which is very unlikely.

 

There was a recall on the fuel pumps for my year and model but dealership says my vin isn’t eligible

 

If you have the flex fuel truck there was definitely a recall. I'm in Canada and we don't have flex fuel Tundras here so my experience is limited.

 

Well it was the fuel pump. Truck is at the dealership now. They want $1500 to replace. I can't get a response from them why its not on the recall.

 

Can you go to Toyota's website and enter your VIN and check for any outstanding recalls?
