EMISSION CONTROL 1 FAULT DIAGNOSIS TESTING EVAPORATIVE EMISSION CONTROL - The following pressure test procedure is intended to Equipment required. Nitrogen cylinder (compressed air may be used to Water manometer 0 - 100 cm (0 - 30" H2O or more). Pipework and a "T" piece. Method. 1. Ensure that there is at least two gallons of fuel in the petrol tank unless there has never been any 2. Disconnect, at the EVAP canister, the pipe to the fuel tank vapour separator. 3. Connect this pipe to the nitrogen cylinder and the water manometer using the "T" piece. 4. Pressurize the system to between 67.3 and 70.0 cm (26.5 and 27.5 inches) of water, allow the 5. Measure the pressure drop within a period of 2 minutes 30 seconds. If the drop is greater than 6. Should the system fail the test, maintain the pressure in the system and apply a soap 7. Repeat the test and if successful, dismantle the test equipment and reconnect the pipe to the LEAK DETECTION PROCEDURE - ADVANCED 1. Connect TestBook to the vehicle and confirm that the fault code(s) displayed relate to an 2. Examine components in fuel and EVAP system for damage or poorly connected joints. 3. Repair or replace components to rectify any faults found, then reset the Malfunction Indicator 4. Carry out Drive Cycle, See this section. 5. Using TestBook confirm that the Evaporative Loss Control (ELC) Inspection and Maintenance 6. If the IM flag is still shown, use TestBook to interrogate the engine management system to • If a fault code is shown, then further investigation • If the IM flag is still shown, but no faults are 7. Connect the EVAP Diagnostic Station to the service port and carry out the procedures given 8. Rectify faults indicated by the EVAP Diagnostic Station and return to step 4. |
