WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 Isuzu Ascender, 2008 GMC Envoy, and 2008 Chevrolet TrailBlazer. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
With the engine running, the EVAP canister vent solenoid valve open, and the EVAP canister purge solenoid valve commanded to 100 percent, the fuel tank vacuum should not increase to more than 12 inches H2O.
- If the fuel tank vacuum is greater than the specified value, isolate the restriction by disconnecting one component at a time while the EVAP canister purge solenoid valve is commanded to 100 percent and the vent valve is open.
FTP Sensor
- 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.
- With the GE-41415-50Β , connect the J 41413-200Β to the fuel filler neck. See Special Tools .
- Start the engine.
- 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 20 percent.
- Observe the vacuum/pressure gage on the J 41413-200Β and the FTP parameter on the scan tool. See Special Tools .
- Verify that the vacuum increases to the abort limit on the scan tool or more than 3.2 volts, and the value is similar between the scan tool and the vacuum/pressure gage on the J 41413-200Β
. See Special Tools
.
- If the values are not similar or the voltage is not within the specified range, replace the FTP sensor.
