Blockage/Restriction Testing
- Connect the GE-41415-50
to the fuel tank filler neck. Connect the J 41413-200
to the GE-41415-50
. See Special Tools
.
- Seal the EVAP system using the EVAP Purge/Seal function with a scan tool.
- Pressurize the EVAP system with nitrogen to 9.33 mm/Hg (5 in/H2O). Compare the scan tool Fuel Tank Pressure Sensor parameter to the J 41413-200
pressure/vacuum gage. See Special Tools
. The FTP sensor parameter should be within 1.86 mm/Hg (1 in/H2O) of the pressure/vacuum gage.
- If not within the specified range, replace the FTP sensor.
- Command the EVAP purge solenoid to 100 percent with a scan tool. The scan tool FTP sensor parameter should drop to less than 1.86 mm/Hg (1 in/H2O).
- If greater than the specified value, disconnect the EVAP pipes listed below one at a time while observing the scan tool FTP sensor parameter. If the FTP sensor parameter drops to less than the specified when a pipe is disconnected, repair the blockage or restriction in one of the following EVAP pipe/hoses:
- EVAP purge vacuum source from the EVAP purge solenoid
- EVAP purge pipe from the EVAP purge solenoid
- EVAP purge pipe at the EVAP canister
- EVAP vapor pipe at the EVAP canister
- If a condition with the EVAP system cannot be located, refer to Diagnostic Aids for additional information.
