WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
- A condition may exist where a leak in the EVAP system exists only under a vacuum condition. Test for this condition by using a scan tool Purge/Seal function to create a vacuum, then observe the FTP parameter for a vacuum decay.
- To help locate intermittent leaks, use the J 41413-200Β Evaporative Emissions System Tester (EEST) to introduce smoke into the EVAP system. See Special Tools . Move all EVAP components while observing smoke with theJ 41413-SPTΒ High Intensity White Light. See Special Tools . Introducing smoke in 15-second intervals will allow less pressure into the EVAP system. When the system is less pressurized, the smoke will sometimes escape in a more condensed manner.
- A temporary blockage in the EVAP canister purge solenoid valve, purge pipe or EVAP canister could cause an intermittent condition. Inspect and repair any restriction in the EVAP system.
- To improve the visibility of the smoke exiting the EVAP system, observe the suspected leak area from different angles with the J 41413-SPTΒ . See Special Tools .
- Reviewing the Failure Records vehicle mileage since the diagnostic test last failed may help determine how often the condition that caused the DTC to be set occurs. This may assist in diagnosing the condition.
- For intermittent conditions, refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections .
