Circuit/System Testing
NOTE:
- 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: EEST operation manual for detailed instructions in Evaporative Emission System Diagnosis .
- Disconnect the purge tube at the quick connector on the evaporative emission canister side of the Q12 evaporative emission canister purge solenoid valve. Install the CH 48096: Service Access Port Tool between the disconnected purge tube and the purge solenoid valve. Connect the J 41413-200: EEST to the service access port tool.
- Use a scan tool to seal the evaporative emission system.
- Use the flow meter on the J 41413-200:
EEST, calibrated to 0.51 millimeter (0.020 inch) to determine that there is no leak in the evaporative emission system.
- If a leak is detected, use the J 41413-200: EEST to apply smoke to the evaporative emission system at the purge tube until the leak is located using the J 41413-SPT: White Light.
- To test for a restriction, connect the J 41413-200: EEST nitrogen/smoke hose to the to the J 41413-311: Evaporative Emission Plug brass cone adapter. Disconnect the hose at the fuel cap end of the CH 41415-50: Adapter. Connect the J 41413-311: Evaporative Emission Plug to the disconnected hose on the GH 41415-50: Adapter. Install the CH 41415-50: Adapter filler neck end only to the vehicle.
- Allow the engine to idle.
- Use the Purge/Seal function to seal the system with a scan tool.
- Command the EVAP Purge Solenoid Valve to 30 percent.
- The vacuum/pressure gage on the J 41413-200:
EEST and the fuel tank pressure parameter on the scan tool should both show vacuum.
- If the vacuum/pressure gage shows vacuum, but the fuel tank pressure parameter does not show vacuum, replace the fuel tank pressure sensor.
- If neither the fuel tank pressure parameter nor the vacuum/pressure gage shows vacuum, repair the restriction in the purge path.
- Verify that the vacuum increases to the abort limit on the scan tool or more than 3.2 V, and the values are similar between the scan tool and the vacuum/pressure gage on the J 41413-200:
EEST.
- If the values are not similar, or the voltage did not reach 3.2 V, replace the B150 fuel tank pressure sensor.
