  1. CHECK FOR ANY SERVICE BULLETINS THAT APPLY 
    1. Before proceeding with this test procedure, perform any Service Bulletins or PCM Flash updates that relate to this fault code.

      Are there any Service Bulletins or PCM Flash updates available?

      Yes 

      • Perform the applicable Service Bulletins or PCM Flash update.
      • Verify the system is not leaking by leak testing the system, Go To  2

      No 

      • Go To  2
  2. PERFORM THE SMALL LEAK VERIFICATION TEST 
    1. Turn the ignition on.
    2. With the scan tool, navigate to the Small Leak Verification Test routine and follow the instructions on the screen.
      NOTE:

      The routine tests the system using similar methodology as the manual leak evaluation in the next test step with one exception. The routine is based solely on the pressure reading from the FTP Sensor. The ESIM Switch state is not factored into the decision in the routine even though it is solely used for leak detection by the PCM. The ESIM state is shown and documented so that it can be verified for proper operation using the information provided in the table in test step 3 below.

    3. Document the results from each phase recorded in the Small Leak Verification Test routine.
