Fuel Tank Leak Test: Description

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 Cadillac Seville and 2003 Cadillac DeVille. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The fuel tank leak test is used to locate any fuel or fuel vapor escaping the fuel tank area. Fuel vapors escaping above the fuel level will be detected when the Evaporative (EVAP) emission diagnostics complete one test cycle. The Malfunction Indicator light (MIL) will illuminate after the EVAP diagnostics complete 2 test cycles.
