What is the part number of the fuel pump on a Toyota Corolla?

There isn't a single universal part number for the Corolla's fuel pump—the correct PN depends on the car's model year, engine, and market. To identify it accurately, you must reference the vehicle's VIN and configuration.

This article explains how to determine the exact part number and what to consider when ordering a replacement, including how to read identification on the pump and where to look up the official catalog.

Why part numbers vary across generations

Toyota uses different pump assemblies across generations and engines. Two Corolla models from different years can require distinct fuel pump parts. Market differences (for example, North American versus European specifications) can also affect the exact part number. A precise identification depends on the vehicle's year, engine, trim level, and VIN.

How to identify the correct fuel pump part number

The following steps will help you pinpoint the exact part number for your Corolla:

1. Find your VIN and engine code from the vehicle registration, owner's manual, or the driver's side dash/door jamb. The VIN helps verify the correct catalog entry.


2. Inspect the existing fuel pump assembly for a stamped part number or barcode. It is usually located on the body near the top or underside of the pump/sending unit.


3. Consult Toyota's official parts catalog or an authorized dealer/parts retailer by entering year, trim, engine, and market. Online catalogs typically reveal OEM part numbers and cross-references.


4. Cross-check with aftermarket equivalents only after you confirm the OEM number; ensure compatibility with fuel pressure, flow, connector type, and size.

Following these steps reduces the risk of ordering an incorrect fuel pump and helps ensure proper fuel delivery and sensor compatibility.

Common sources to verify part numbers

Use Toyota's official parts websites, dealer service portals, and reputable aftermarket retailers to confirm the exact number. Always compare the OEM PN to the listing and check for the same fuel pump assembly design (pump and sending unit) and the same connector configuration.

If you provide your car's year, engine, and market, I can help narrow down the most likely OEM part numbers or point you to the exact catalog entry.

Summary

Fuel pump part numbers for a Toyota Corolla are not universal; they vary by generation, engine, and market. The safest method to identify the correct number is to use the VIN to look up the official parts catalog and inspect the existing pump or label on the sending unit. Always verify compatibility before ordering.

For a specific year/market, tell me your Corolla’s details (year, engine code, and region) and I’ll help pinpoint the exact OEM part number or provide the official catalog reference.

Where can I find the part number on a fuel pump?

Part numbers, also sometimes referred to as model numbers, can be found on your pump's tag. A pump tag is a small rectangular plate that displays all the basic information about your pump.

Can you replace a fuel pump without dropping the tank?

Yes, you can replace a fuel pump without dropping the tank, but the method depends on the vehicle. Some vehicles have an access panel under the rear seat, while others require cutting a new access hole in the floor or bed. However, for many vehicles, the recommended method is to drop the tank, which is sometimes easier than it seems, especially when the tank is empty.

Accessing the fuel pump without dropping the tank

• Check for a factory access panel: The easiest method is if your vehicle has a pre-existing access port in the floor, usually under the rear seat, to reach the fuel pump assembly. 
• Cut a new access panel: If there's no factory panel, some people cut their own. This is a more advanced and risky procedure that requires extreme care not to puncture the fuel tank or lines. 
  • Remove the rear seat and carpet. 
  • Locate the fuel pump on top of the tank. 
  • Carefully cut a hole in the floor above the pump using a grinder. 
  • Replace the fuel pump. 
  • Reattach the cut-out piece with sheet metal and screws. Some suggest leaving it open or adding hinges for future access, although this is generally not recommended due to safety and potential fumes entering the cabin. 

Replacing the fuel pump by dropping the tank 

• This is the method recommended by many mechanics for most vehicles because it avoids the risks associated with cutting through the vehicle's floor. 
• If you don't have a lift, you can use jack stands to raise the vehicle and a floor jack to support the tank. 
• Carefully disconnect the fuel lines and electrical connections from the top of the tank. 
• Support the tank with the floor jack and then slowly lower it, allowing enough room to replace the pump assembly. 
• For many vehicles, it is a good idea to siphon out the fuel to make the tank lighter and easier to handle. 

Important considerations

• Safety: Always disconnect the battery, work in a well-ventilated area, and take precautions against sparks and open flames when working with gasoline. Wear gloves and eye protection to avoid contact with fuel. 
• Complexity: Dropping the tank, even partially, can be a challenge depending on the vehicle's design, particularly if the tank is full or rusted. Cutting an access hole is a potentially dangerous alternative and should only be attempted if you are certain of your abilities and have researched the procedure thoroughly for your specific make and model. 
• Professional help: If you are unsure about either method, it is best to consult a professional mechanic or a DIY garage with the proper tools, especially if you lack experience.
