Diagnosis Procedure

1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
2. Check EVAP canister for cracks.

   Is the inspection result normal? 

   YES-1: With CONSULT-III: GO TO 2.

   YES-2: Without CONSULT-III: GO TO  3.

   NO: Replace EVAP canister.

With CONSULT-III 

1. Disconnect vacuum hose connected to EVAP canister purge volume control solenoid valve at EVAP service port and install vacuum gauge. For the location of EVAP service port, refer to , "SYSTEM DIAGRAM ".
2. Start engine and let it idle.
3. Select "PURG VOL CONT/V" in "ACTIVE TEST" mode with CONSULT-III.
4. Rev engine up to 2, 000 RPM.
5. Touch "Qd" and "Qu" on CONSULT-III screen to adjust "PURG VOL C/V" opening and check vacuum existence.

   0%	Not existed

   Is the inspection result normal? 

   YES: GO TO  7.

   NO: GO TO  4.

Without CONSULT-III 

1. Start engine and warm it up to normal operating temperature.
2. Stop engine.
3. Disconnect vacuum hose connected to EVAP canister purge volume control solenoid valve at EVAP service port and install vacuum gauge. For the location of EVAP service port, refer to , "SYSTEM DIAGRAM ".
4. Start engine and let it idle.
