Circuit/System Verification
With Service Bay Test
- Verify the EVAP system using the EVAP Service Bay Test. DTC P0455 should not set.
- If the vehicle passes the Circuit/System Verification test, then operate the vehicle within the conditions for running the DTC. You may also operate the vehicle within the conditions that are captured in the Freeze Frame/Failure Records List.
IMPORTANT:
Verify the EVAP vent valve functions before proceeding with this diagnostic. You should hear or feel a click when commanded ON with a scan tool. A circuit condition can cause the solenoid to be inoperative without setting a DTC P0448, or a DTC P0449. Refer to DTC P0498 or P0499 .
Without Service Bay Test
- Verify the following conditions do not exist in the EVAP system:
- Loose, incorrect, missing, or damaged fuel fill cap
- Loose, missing, or damaged service port schrader valve
- A damaged EVAP purge solenoid
- Disconnected, incorrectly routed, kinked, or damaged EVAP pipes and hoses
- A damaged EVAP vent valve or EVAP canister
- If you find any of the above conditions, repair as necessary.
- Make sure the EVAP vent valve functions before proceeding with this diagnostic. You should hear or feel a click when commanded ON with a scan tool. A circuit condition can cause the solenoid to be inoperative without setting a DTC P0448, or a DTC P0449. Refer to DTC P0498 or P0499 .
- Refer to the J 41413-200 operation manual for detailed instructions. See Special Tools .
- Remove the fuel fill cap. Connect the GE-41415-50 to the fuel tank filler neck. See Special Tools . Connect the J 41413-200 to the GE-41415-50 . See Special Tools .
- Calibrate the J 41413-200 Flow Meter to the correct leak orifice for the vehicle. See Special Tools .
- Disconnect the EVAP vent line from the vent solenoid. Seal the EVAP vent line using the correct plug from the J 41413-300 . See Special Tools .
- Activate the J 41413-200
and compare the flow meter's stable floating indicator position to the red flag. See Special Tools
. The floating indicator should be below the red flag.
- If the floating indicator is above the red flag, test for a leak in the EVAP system.
- Increase the EVAP purge solenoid to 100 percent. The FTP sensor pressure should drop to less than 1 inch H2O. If the floating indicator is below the red flag, test for a blockage or restriction in the EVAP system.
- If the vehicle passes the Circuit/System Verification test, then operate the vehicle within the conditions for running the DTC. You may also operate the vehicle within the conditions that are captured in the Freeze Frame/Failure Records List.
IMPORTANT:
IMPORTANT:
The EVAP vent solenoid valve will not remain closed when commanded ON with positive pressure applied to the EVAP system.
IMPORTANT:
Larger volume fuel tanks and/or those with lower fuel levels may require several minutes for the floating indicator to stabilize.
