Diagnosis Procedure

1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
2. Check EVAP canister for cracks.

Is the inspection result normal? 

YES-1: With CONSULT-III: GO TO 2.

YES-2: Without CONSULT-III: GO TO  3.

NO: Replace EVAP canister.

With CONSULT-III 

1. Disconnect vacuum hose connected to EVAP canister purge volume control solenoid valve at EVAP service port.
2. Start engine and let it idle.
3. Select "PURG VOL CONT/V" in "ACTIVE TEST" mode with CONSULT-III.
4. Touch "Qd" and "Qu" on CONSULT-III screen to adjust "PURG VOL CONT/V" opening and check vacuum existence.
   DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE
   
   

   PURG VOL CONT/V	Vacuum
   100%	Existed
   0%	Not existed

Is the inspection result normal? 

YES: GO TO  7.

NO: GO TO  4.

Without CONSULT-III 

1. Start engine and warm it up to normal operating temperature.
2. Stop engine.
3. Disconnect vacuum hose connected to EVAP canister purge volume control solenoid valve at EVAP service port and install vacuum gauge. For the location of EVAP service port, refer to "SYSTEM DIAGRAM ".
4. Start engine and let it idle.
