Leak Testing

    NOTE:
    • 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.
  1. Connect the GE-41415-50  to the fuel tank filler neck. Connect the J 41413-200  to the GE-41415-50  . See Special Tools .
  2. Connect the CH-48096  between the EVAP purge solenoid and the EVAP purge pipe. See Special Tools .
  3. Turn the nitrogen/smoke valve on the control panel to SMOKE.
  4. Command the EVAP vent solenoid closed with a scan tool.
  5. Use the remote switch to introduce smoke into the EVAP system.
  6. Use the J 41413-VLV  to open the EVAP service port. Once smoke is observed, remove the J 41413-VLV  .
    7. NOTE: Introduce smoke at 15 second intervals while testing the system.

    13. NOTE: The fuel tank may need to be lowered to improve visibility of some of the EVAP system components.
  13. Verify that smoke is not exiting the entire EVAP system with the J 41413-SPT  . See Special Tools .
    • If smoke is observed, repair the condition as necessary.
  14. Verify individual EVAP system components do not leak using the J 41413-300  . See Special Tools .
    • If a condition is found replace the affected component.
