CAUTION:

  • Do not use compressed air or a high pressure pump.

  • Do not exceed 4.12 kPa (0.042 kg/cm2, 0.6 psi) of pressure in EVAP system.

Note:
  • Do not start engine.

  • Improper installation of EVAP service port adapter [commercial service tool: (NI-41413-OBD)] to the EVAP service port may cause a leak.

WITH CONSULT

Install EVAP service port adapter [commercial service tool: (NI-41413-OBD)] and pressure pump to EVAP service port. Note:

Locate the leak using a leak detector (commercial service tool). Refer to System Description.

WITHOUT CONSULT

Install EVAP service port adapter [commercial service tool: (NI-41413-OBD)] and pressure pump to EVAP service port. Note:

If vacuum delay valve does not have EVAP service port, remove vacuum delay valve and install EVAP service port [commercial service tool: (Part No. 149393S500)] instead.

Apply battery voltage between the terminals of EVAP canister vent control valve to make a closed EVAP system.

To locate the leak, deliver positive pressure to the EVAP system until pressure gauge points reach 1.38 to 2.76 kPa (0.014 to 0.028 kg/cm2, 0.2 to 0.4 psi).

Remove EVAP service port adapter [commercial service tool: (NI-41413-OBD)] and hose with pressure pump.

Locate the leak using a leak detector (commercial service tool). Refer to System Description.
