Will CONSULT-III be used?

Will CONSULT-III be used?

YES: GO TO 2.

NO: GO TO 3.
CHECK REFUELING EVAP VAPOR CUT VALVE
With CONSULT-III
1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
2. Remove fuel tank. Refer to "REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION ".
3. Drain fuel from the tank as per the following:
  - Remove fuel feed hose located on the fuel gauge retainer.
  - Connect a spare fuel hose, one side to fuel gauge retainer where the hose was removed and the other side to a fuel container.
  - Drain fuel using "FUEL PUMP RELAY" in "ACTIVE TEST" mode with CONSULT-III.
4. Check refueling EVAP vapor cut valve for being stuck to close as per the following.
  Blow air into the refueling EVAP vapor cut valve (from the end of EVAP/ORVR line hose), and check that the air flows freely into the tank.
5. Check refueling EVAP vapor cut valve for being stuck to open as per the following.
  - Connect vacuum pump to hose end.
  - Remove fuel gauge retainer with fuel gauge unit.
    Always replace O-ring with new one .
  - Turn fuel tank upside down.
  - Apply vacuum pressure to hose end [-13.3 kPa (-0.136 kg/cm³ , -1.93 psi)] with fuel gauge retainer remaining open and check that the pressure is applicable.
