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: Unwind the nitrogen/smoke hose completely from the bracket to optimize the tester's performance.
Connect the nitrogen/smoke hose (2) to 0.020 in. (0.5 mm) test orifice (3) on the bottom-front of the tester.
Press and release the remote switch (4) to activate the tester.

Position the red flag (1) on the flowmeter to align with the floating indicator (2). When the red flag is set, press and release the remote switch to deactivate the tester.

Disconnect the nitrogen/smoke hose from the test orifice.
Connect the nitrogen/smoke hose onto the fuel cap adapter (1).
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.

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 referring to Step 6) of EVAP LEAK CHECK SYSTEM SMOKE TEST .
Disconnect pipe from the outlet nozzle (1) of EVAP leak check module.
Plug outlet nozzle with finger or the rubber plug.
The evaporative emission system should now be sealed and ready to be tested.

CAUTION: The ventilation nozzle of EVAP leak check module must be blocked securely.
The reason for this is that the EVAP system in its design cannot be sealed completely even though the EVAP canister vent valve and the EVAP canister purge valve are both closed because the leak check module internally opens to atmosphere through the leak detection pump. For this reason, if the ventilation nozzle of the leak check module is not blocked completely, nitrogen gas will leak through it possibly resulting in a diagnostic error of EVAP leak.
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 EVAP LEAK CHECK SYSTEM SMOKE TEST .
2. If indicator floats below the red flag, the result is ACCEPTABLE. Test is completed.

Press and release the remote switch to deactivate the tester.
Charge the battery as necessary.
