IMPORTANT:
Refer to the J 41413-200
operation manual for detailed instructions.
- Inspect the EVAP vent system for a restriction.
- Test the low reference circuit of the FTP sensor for an open or for high resistance.
- Start the engine with the J 41413-200 connected to the fuel filler neck.
- Allow the engine to idle.
- Use the Purge/Seal function to seal the system with a scan tool.
- Command the EVAP canister purge solenoid valve to 30 percent.
- Observe the vacuum/pressure gage on the J 41413-200 and the FTP parameter on the scan tool.
- Allow the vacuum to increase on the gage of the J 41413-200
until it reaches approximately 16 inches H2O, or until the vacuum reached the abort limit on the scan tool.
- If the difference between the FTP parameter on a scan tool and the vacuum/pressure gage on the J 41413-200 was more than 1 inch, replace the FTP sensor.
