Circuit/System Testing

IMPORTANT:
  • Larger volume fuel tanks and/or those with lower fuel levels may require several minutes for the floating indicator to stabilize.
  • Refer to the J 41413-200  operation manual for detailed instructions in Evaporative Emission System Diagnosis .
  1. Connect the J 41413-200  to the vehicle EVAP service port. For vehicles without a service port, disconnect the purge tube at the quick connector on the EVAP canister side of the purge solenoid valve and install the CH-48096  . See Special Tools .
  2. Use a scan tool to seal the EVAP system.
  3. Use the flow meter on the J 41413-200  , calibrated to 0.51 millimeter (0.020 inch) to determine that there is no leak in the EVAP system.
    • If a leak is detected, use the J 41413-200  to apply smoke to the EVAP system at the service port or the purge tube until the leak is located using the J 41413-SPT  .
  4. To test for a restriction, connect the J 41413-200  nitrogen/smoke hose to the to the J 41413-311  brass cone adapter. See Special Tools . Disconnect the hose at the fuel cap end of the GE-41415-50  . Connect the J 41413-311  to the disconnected hose on the GE-41415-50  . Install the GE-41415-50  filler neck end only to the vehicle. See Special Tools .
  5. Allow the engine to idle.
  6. Use the Purge/Seal function to seal the system with a scan tool.
  7. Command the EVAP canister purge solenoid valve to 30 percent.
  8. The vacuum/pressure gage on the J 41413-200  and the FTP parameter on the scan tool should both show vacuum.
    • If the vacuum/pressure gage shows vacuum, but the FTP parameter does not show vacuum, replace the FTP sensor.
    • If neither the FTP parameter nor the vacuum/pressure gage shows vacuum, repair the restriction in the purge path. Refer to Evaporative Emissions Hose Routing Diagram .
  9. Verify that the vacuum increases to the abort limit on the scan tool or more than 3.2 volts, and the values are similar between the scan tool and the vacuum/pressure gage on the J 41413-200  .
    • If the values are not similar, or the voltage did not reach 3.2 volts, replace the FTP sensor.
