  • Refer to the J 41413-200  operation manual for detailed instructions. See Special Tools .
  1. Using the GE-41415-50  , connect the J 41413-200  to the vehicle filler neck. See Special Tools .
  2. Use the flow meter on the J 41413-200  , calibrated to 0. See Special Tools .51 mm (0.020 in) to determine that there is no leak in the EVAP system.
    • If a leak is detected use the J 41413-200  to apply smoke to the EVAP system at the service port or the filler neck until the leak is located. See Special Tools .
