Hi,

I believe you are referring to the fuel tank pressure sensor. If that is incorrect, let me know.

__________________________________

Here are the directions for replacement. You will need to remove the fuel tank because the sensor is mounted at the top of the fuel module. The attached picture correlates with the directions.
