Circuit/System Testing

  1. Turn the nitrogen/smoke valve on the control panel to SMOKE.
    IMPORTANT:
    • You must start with the Circuit/System Verification before proceeding with Circuit/System Testing.
    • Ensure that the vehicle underbody temperature is similar to the ambient temperature and allow the surrounding air to stabilize before starting the diagnostic procedure. The system flow will be less with higher temperatures.
  2. Command the EVAP vent solenoid closed with a scan tool.
  3. Use the remote switch to introduce smoke into the EVAP system.
  4. Use the J 41413-VLV  to open the EVAP service port. Once smoke is observed, remove the tool.
  5. Verify the entire EVAP system with the J 41413-SPT  . Smoke should not be observed.
    • If smoke is observed, repair the condition as necessary.
      IMPORTANT: Introduce smoke at 15 second intervals while testing the system.
  6. Verify the EVAP system using the EVAP service port. Connect the J 41413-200  nitrogen/smoke supply hose to the EVAP service port.
  7. Command the EVAP vent solenoid closed with a scan tool.
  8. Use the remote switch to introduce smoke into the EVAP system.
  9. Verify the entire EVAP system with the J 41413-SPT  . Smoke should not be observed.
    • If smoke is observed, repair the condition as necessary.
  10. Verify the individual EVAP system components for a leak using the J 41413-300  . The EVAP system components should not leak.
