OK or NG 		 GO TO 3.
  1. Open fuel filler cap, then clean cap and fuel filler neck threads using air blower.
  2. Retighten until ratcheting sound is heard.
3  CHECK FUEL FILLER CAP FUNCTION 
Check for air releasing sound while opening the fuel filler cap.
OK or NG 		 GO TO 5. GO TO 4.
4  CHECK FUEL TANK VACUUM RELIEF VALVE 
Refer to [P0442 EVAP CONTROL SYSTEM ].
OK or NG 		 GO TO 5. Replace fuel filler cap with a genuine one.
5  INSTALL THE PRESSURE PUMP 
To locate the EVAP leak, install EVAP service port adapter and pressure pump to EVAP service port securely. For the location of EVAP service port, refer to [EVAPORATIVE EMISSION SYSTEM: DESCRIPTION ]		 GO TO 6. GO TO 7.
6  CHECK FOR EVAP LEAK 
With SDT 
  1. Turn ignition switch ON.
  2. Select "EVAP SYSTEM CLOSE" of "Utility" mode with SDT.
  3. Touch "START" and apply pressure into the EVAP line until the pressure indicator reaches the middle of the bar graph.
    CAUTION:
    • Never use compressed air or a high pressure pump.
    • Never exceed 4.12 kPa (0.042 kg/cm2 , 0.6 psi) of pressure in the system.
  4. Using EVAP leak detector, locate the EVAP leak. For the leak detector, refer to the instruction manual for more details.

Refer to [EVAPORATIVE EMISSION SYSTEM: DESCRIPTION ]


OK or NG 		 GO TO 8. Repair or replace.
7  CHECK FOR EVAP LEAK 
Without SDT 
  1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
  2. Apply 12 volts DC to EVAP canister vent control valve (1). The valve will close. (Continue to apply 12 volts until the end of test.)

  • Drain filter (3)
  • EVAP canister (4)
  • <=: Vehicle front

  1. 3. Pressurize the EVAP line using pressure pump with 1.38 to 2.76 kPa (0.014 to 0.028 kg/cm2 , 0.2 to 0.4 psi), then remove pump and EVAP service port adapter.
    CAUTION:
    • Never use compressed air or a high pressure pump.
    • Never exceed 4.12 kPa (0.042 kg/cm2 , 0.6 psi) of pressure in the system.
  2. 4. Using EVAP leak detector, locate the EVAP leak. For the leak detector, refer to the instruction manual for more details. Refer to [EVAPORATIVE EMISSION SYSTEM: DESCRIPTION ]

OK or NG 		 GO TO 8. Repair or replace.
8  CHECK EVAP CANISTER VENT CONTROL VALVE 
Check the following.

OK or NG 		 GO TO 9. Repair or replace EVAP canister vent control valve and O-ring.
9  CHECK IF EVAP CANISTER IS SATURATED WITH WATER 
  1. Remove EVAP canister with EVAP canister vent control valve and EVAP control system pressure sensor attached.
  2. Does water drain from the EVAP canister?

 Repair hose or replace EVAP canister.  
12  CHECK EVAP CANISTER PURGE VOLUME CONTROL SOLENOID VALVE OPERATION 
With SDT 
  1. Disconnect vacuum hose connected to EVAP service purge volume control solenoid valve from EVAP canister purge volume control solenoid valve.
  2. Start engine.
  3. Perform "PURG VOL CONT/V" in "Active test" mode.
  4. Touch "Qu" on SDT screen to increase "PURG VOL CONT/V" opening to 100%.
  5. Check vacuum hose for vacuum when revving engine up to 2, 000 RPM.

OK or NG 		 GO TO 16. GO TO 14.
13  CHECK EVAP CANISTER PURGE VOLUME CONTROL SOLENOID VALVE OPERATION 
Without SDT
