Pressurization Test

WARNING: Use the nitrogen gas. If other kind of gas is used instead of the nitrogen gas, the gasoline may ignite and explode.

NOTE: A large difference between the vehicle temperature and shop temperature will seriously affect the accuracy of the tests. Always allow enough time for the vehicle's temperature to adjust to the shop temperature.
If the pressure regulator is replaced, perform the calibration referring to "OUTPUT PRESSURE CALIBRATION " in this instructions.

Connect the red battery clip from the tester to the positive battery terminal, and then connect the black battery clip from the tester to chassis ground.
NOTE: The vehicle battery must be fully charged for optimum tester performance.
Turn the NITROGEN/SMOKE valve (1) on the front control panel to NITROGEN.
NOTE:
- Decide which test orifice to use by referring to the table shown below.

- Unwind the nitrogen/smoke hose completely from the bracket to optimize the tester's performance.
Connect the nitrogen/smoke hose (2) to the correct test orifice (3) on the bottom-front of the tester.
Press and release the remote switch (4) to activate the tester.

Remove fuel cap, and then install fuel cap adapter onto the fuel filler neck.
Install fuel cap (2) onto the fuel cap adapter.
NOTE: Connections must be tight and leak-free.
Identify the evaporative emission system type of the vehicle under repair referring to "TABLE OF THE EVAPORATIVE EMISSION SYSTEM TYPE: ".
If the system type is A type, open the tank pressure control valve (1) according to the following procedures.
1. Disconnect vacuum hose from the tank pressure control valve.
2. Using a special tool, apply vacuum to the vacuum port on the tank pressure control valve.

Turn the ignition switch ON leaving the engine OFF.
WARNING: To prevent personal injury and equipment damage, tests with Evaporative Emission System Tester are performed with the engine OFF.
Using the scan tool, close the canister vent valve. The evaporative emission system should now be sealed and ready to be tested.

Press and release the remote switch to activate the nitrogen flow and fill the system. Watch the flowmeter's indicator until it stabilizes.
NOTE:
- The remote switch operates in a push ON, push OFF manner.
- Larger volume fuel tanks and/or those with lower fuel levels may require several minutes to fill with nitrogen.
Compare the stable floating indicator position to the red flag as follows.
1. If indicator floats above the red flag, the result is UNACCEPTABLE. Locate and repair a leak referring to "EVAPORATIVE EMISSION SYSTEM SMOKE TEST: ".
2. If indicator floats below the red flag, the result is ACCEPTABLE. Test is completed.
