°C (32 - 90°F)

FUEL T/TMP SE: 0 - 35

°C (32 - 95°F)

INT A/TEMP SE: More than 0

°C (32°F)

If NG, turn ignition switch OFF and leave the vehicle in a cool place (soak the vehicle) or refilling/draining

fuel until the output voltage condition of the “FUEL LEVEL SE” meets within the range above and leave

the vehicle for more than 1 hour. Then start from step 1).

PERFORM COMPONENT FUNCTION CHECK

With GST

CAUTION:

• Do not use compressed air, doing so may damage the EVAP system.

• Do not start engine.
• Do not exceeded 4.12 kPa (0.042 kg/cm

, 0.6 psi).

1. Attach the EVAP service port adapter [commercial service tool: (J-41413-OBD)] securely to the EVAP ser-

vice port.

2. Set the pressure pump and a hose.

3. Also set a vacuum gauge via 3-way connector and a hose.

4. Turn ignition switch ON.

5. Connect GST and select Service $08.

6. Using Service $08 control the EVAP canister vent control valve

(close).

7. Apply pressure and make sure the following conditions are sat-

isfied.
Pressure to be applied: 2.7 kPa (0.028 kg/cm

, 0.39 psi)

Time to be waited after the pressure drawn in to the EVAP

system and the pressure to be dropped: 60 seconds and

the pressure should not be dropped more than 0.4 kPa
(0.004 kg/cm

, 0.06 psi).

Is the inspection result normal?

YES

>> GO TO 2.

>> Go to

EC-338, "Diagnosis Procedure"

RELEASE PRESSURE

1. Disconnect GST.

2. Start engine and warm it up to normal operating temperature.
