internet hi I'm Don from 1A Auto I hope
this how-to video helps you out and the
next time you need a part for your
vehicle think of 1aauto.com
thanks in this video we're going to show
you how to replace the fuel tank
pressure sensor on this 2002 Chevy
Suburban with the 5.3 L V8 engine and
it's the same part and similar process
on these Suburbans from 2000 to
2006 and the items you'll need is a new
fuel tank pressure sensor from
1aauto.com an 8 and a 15 mm socket
ratchet with an extension a flat plade
screwdriver a pry bar and jack and jack
stands start off by loosening these two
hose clamps and it's that hose but we
actually end up loosening the hose clamp
that's up near the spare tire on the
other end of the hose from where we
pointed as you can see here
that'll make it a little bit easier when
we actually get the tank down once
you've loosened those hose clamps just
pull those hoses
free and you may need to use a pry bar
to help get that
free you can also use a large flat blade
screwdriver now you want to take a jack
stand and just put it underneath your
gas
tank next you want to remove the gas
tank straps and to do that you want to
remove this 15 mm
bolt and this one on the other
strap and we'll just fast forward as Don
does that
now just pull that strap up and out of
that slot and do the same thing with the
other
[Music]
one now it's helpful to have an
assistant to just spot the tank and make
sure it doesn't go down too far or start
to slide or anything but you just want
to lower it down just enough so that you
can see the sensors on top and then just
lift up the tab and disconnect the
sensor on the top of your fuel sending
unit and then using a flat blade
screwdriver or pry bar just pry the
sensor up and
out on the left is the old sensor on the
right is the new fuel tank pressure
sensor from 1A Auto you can see they're
identical and they'll fit exactly the
same take your new sensor and push it
into
place make sure it's all the way down
into
place and then reconnect your harness
[Music]
and we'll just fast forward as Dawn
raises the
tank now reconnect these two hoses
[Music]
and Slide the hose clamps into
[Music]
place and then just tighten them up with
your socket and Ratchet
[Music]
Slide the rear gas tank strap into this
slot and then feed it up with the bolt
in and tighten it
up and then repeat the process for the
gas tank strap on the other side
and you're all
set we hope this video helps you out
