2.CHECK REFUELING EVAP VAPOR CUT VALVE
With CONSULT
- Turn ignition switch OFF.
- Remove fuel tank. Refer to FL-10, "Removal and Installation".
- Drain fuel from the tank as per the following:
- Remove fuel feed hose located on the fuel gauge retainer.
- Connect a spare fuel hose, one side to fuel gauge retainer where the hose was removed and the other side to a fuel container.
- Drain fuel using “FUEL PUMP RELAY” in “ACTIVE TEST” mode with CONSULT.
- Check refueling EVAP vapor cut valve for being stuck to close as per the
following.
Blow air into the refueling EVAP vapor cut valve (from the end of EVAP/ORVR line hose), and check that the air flows freely into the tank.
