The fuel pump on a 2016 Chevy Trax sits inside the fuel tank (an in-tank design); there is no pump in the engine bay.
For servicing, access is via an interior panel in the rear cargo area floor. A circular access hatch lets you reach the pump and sending unit; you may need to remove the rear seat cushion or a floor panel to reach it. Exact location can vary by trim or market.
Location and access
The following overview explains where to find the fuel pump on the Trax and how to access it for service.
- In-tank design: The fuel pump is integrated with the sending unit inside the fuel tank.
- Access point: A round access hatch in the rear cargo area floor provides entry to the pump assembly. You may need to remove interior panels to reach it.
- Variations: Depending on trim level or regional market, the exact hatch location may differ slightly; consult the owner's manual or a service bulletin for your VIN.
In short, the fuel pump is not in the engine bay but in the tank, and access is via the interior rear cargo area floor hatch.
Notes for owners
Always follow proper safety procedures when servicing the fuel system, including disconnecting the battery and relieving fuel pressure. If you're not comfortable performing this work, have a qualified technician handle it.
Summary
The 2016 Chevy Trax uses an in-tank fuel pump built into the fuel sending unit inside the fuel tank. Access for servicing is through a round hatch in the rear cargo area floor, typically under the rear seat cushion or under a floor panel, not in the engine compartment. Refer to the owner's manual or a GM service bulletin for your specific configuration.
