WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2002 Lexus LX 470. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Remove vapor pressure sensor Vacuum Switching Valve (VSV). Vapor pressure sensor VSV is located on charcoal canister and has 3 vacuum ports. See Figure.
- Using ohmmeter, measure resistance between vapor pressure sensor VSV terminals. If resistance is not 37-44 ohms at 68°F (20°C), replace vapor pressure sensor VSV. If resistance is 37-44 ohms, check for continuity between each VSV electrical terminal and body of vapor pressure sensor VSV. If continuity exists, replace vapor pressure sensor VSV.
- To test vapor pressure sensor VSV operation, apply air pressure to port "E". Ensure air flows from port "G" and not from port "F". Perform STEP 1. See Fig 1.
- Apply battery voltage and ground to electrical terminals on vapor pressure sensor VSV. Apply air pressure to port "E". Ensure air flows from port "F" and not from port "G". Perform STEP 2. See Fig 1. Replace vapor pressure sensor VSV if defective.

- • The engine overheats, stalls repeatedly, or misfires under load.
- • You are missing required tools, torque specs, or safe lifting equipment.
- • You are not confident in the next step or safety outcome.
