  A: The first step to remove the Fuel Door Release Cable involves disconnecting it from the negative battery terminal while allowing at least 90 seconds for SRS system disablement. Note that some systems require system initialization upon reconnection. Proceeding with the repair requires initial removal of front seat headrest assembly LH from manual and power seats. Then move on to separating front seat rear outer track cover LH and the front seat rear inner track cover LH from both seat types. The technician should follow these steps to remove the front seat assembly LH for both manual and power seats as well as the front door scuff plate LH, the cowl side trim sub-assembly LH, the front door opening trim Weather Strip LH and the rear door scuff plate LH and the rear door opening trim Weather Strip LH.

The technician should proceed to remove the tonneau cover assembly (if equipped) along with the deck board assembly followed by the No. 3 deck board sub-assembly and the deck side trim box LH and No. 2 deck board sub-assembly and deck side trim box RH and concluding with the No. 1 deck board. The technician should first remove the rear seat sub floor panel assembly followed by the rear floor finish plate and then the rear seat headrest assembly LH along with the rear seat inner track bracket cover LH and finally the rear seat outer track bracket cover LH. In order to remove the rear seat assembly LH you must disconnect its No. 2 reclining control cable sub-assembly. The repair process begins by removing the reclining remote control bezel LH together with the luggage hold belt striker assembly LH and disconnecting the rear seat outer belt assembly LH.
