  1. Ignition ON and fuel cap removed, verify that the FTP sensor parameter is between 1.3-1.7 volts.
    • If the FTP sensor parameter is not within the specified range, test the FTP low reference circuit for an open or high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the FTP sensor.
  2. With the GE-41415-50Β  , connect the J 41413-200Β  to the fuel filler neck.
    IMPORTANT: Refer to the J 41413-200Β  operation manual for detailed instructions.

  6. Command the EVAP canister purge solenoid valve to 20 percent.
  7. Observe the vacuum/pressure gage on the J 41413-200Β  and the FTP parameter on the scan tool.
  8. Verify that the vacuum increases to the abort limit on the scan tool or more than 3.2 volts, and the value is closely similar between the scan tool and the vacuum/pressure gage on the J 41413-200Β  .
