NOTE: Techstream is required to conduct the following diagnostic troubleshooting procedure.

HINT:

Using Techstream monitor results enables the EVAP (Evaporative Emission) system to be confirmed.
Read freeze frame data using Techstream. Freeze frame data records the engine condition when malfunctions are detected. When troubleshooting, freeze frame data can help determine if the vehicle was moving or stationary, if the engine was warmed up or not, if the air-fuel ratio was lean or rich, and other data from the time the malfunction occurred.

CONFIRM DTC
1. Turn the ignition switch OFF and wait for 10 seconds.
2. Turn the ignition switch ON.
3. Turn the ignition switch OFF and wait for 10 seconds.
4. Connect Techstream to the DLC3.
5. Turn the ignition switch ON and turn the tester ON.
6. Select the following menu items: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Trouble Code.
7. Confirm DTCs and freeze frame data.
  If any EVAP system DTCs are set, the malfunctioning area can be determined using the table below.
  
  NOTE: If the reference pressure difference between the first and second checks is greater than the specification, all the DTCs relating to the reference pressure (P043E, P043F, P2401, P2402 and P2419) are stored.
