IMPORTANT:
  • Larger volume fuel tanks and/or those with lower fuel levels may require several minutes for the floating indicator to stabilize.
  • Refer to the J 41413-200Β  (J 41413-100) operation manual for detailed instructions in Evaporative Emission System Diagnosis .
  1. Connect the J 41413-200Β  (J 41413-100) nitrogen/smoke hose to the J 41413-311Β  brass cone adapter.
  2. Disconnect the hose at the fuel cap end of the GE-41415-50Β  . Connect the J 41413-311Β  to the disconnected hose on the GE-41415-50Β  .
  3. Install the GE-41415-50Β  filler neck end only to the vehicle.
  4. Disconnect the harness connector at the EVAP canister vent solenoid valve.
  5. Use jumper wires to close the EVAP canister vent solenoid valve.
  6. Use the flow meter on the J 41413-200Β  (J 41413-100), calibrated to 0.51 mm (0.020 in) to determine that there is no leak in the EVAP system.
    • If a leak is detected, use the J 41413-200Β  (J 41413-100) to apply smoke to the EVAP system at the purge tube or the filler neck until the leak is located.
  7. Use the hand vacuum pump at the purge tube to create a vacuum on the EVAP system.
  8. Engine running, the vacuum/pressure gage on the J 41413-200Β  (J 41413-100) and the FTP parameter on the scan tool should both show vacuum.
    • If the vacuum/pressure gage shows vacuum but the FTP parameter does not show vacuum, replace the FTP sensor.
    • If neither the FTP parameter nor the vacuum/pressure gage shows vacuum, repair the restriction in the purge path.
  9. Verify that the vacuum increases to -2 kPa (-8 in H2O), 3.0 volts, and the value is similar between the scan tool and the vacuum/pressure gage on the J 41413-200Β  (J 41413-100).
    • If the values are not similar or the voltage did not reach -2 kPa (-8 in H2O), 3.0 volts, replace the FTP sensor.

When to See a Mechanic

Stop DIY work and contact a certified mechanic immediately if any of the following apply:

  • β€’ You smell fuel, burning insulation, or see smoke.
  • β€’ Brakes feel soft, pull hard to one side, or make grinding noises.
  • β€’ The engine overheats, stalls repeatedly, or misfires under load.
  • β€’ You are missing required tools, torque specs, or safe lifting equipment.
  • β€’ You are not confident in the next step or safety outcome.
