Circuit/System Testing
IMPORTANT:
- 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 operation manual for detailed instructions. See Special Tools .
- Using the GE-41415-50 , connect the J 41413-200 to the vehicle filler neck. See Special Tools .
- Use the flow meter on the J 41413-200
, calibrated to 0.51 mm (0.02 in) to determine that there is no leak in the EVAP system.
- If a leak is detected, use the J 41413-200 to apply smoke to the EVAP system at the EVAP service port or the filler neck until the leak is located. See Special Tools . For vehicles without a service port, disconnect the purge tube at the quick connector on the EVAP canister side of the purge solenoid valve and install the CH-48096 .
- Start the engine with the J 41413-200 connected to the fuel filler neck. See Special Tools .
- Allow the engine to idle.
- Use the Purge/Seal function to seal the system with a scan tool.
- Command the EVAP canister purge solenoid valve to 20 percent.
- The vacuum/pressure gage on the J 41413-200
and the FTP parameter on the scan tool should both show vacuum. See Special Tools
.
- If the vacuum/pressure gage on the J 41413-200 does not show vacuum, check for a restricted purge path. See Special Tools .
- Vacuum should increase on the gage of the J 41413-200
and scan tool until it reaches approximately 16 inches H2O or until the vacuum reaches the abort limit on the scan tool. See Special Tools
.
- If the difference between the FTP parameter on a scan tool and the vacuum/pressure gage on the J 41413-200 was more than 1 inch, replace the FTP sensor. See Special Tools .
- If the maximum Fuel Tank Pressure Sensor parameter on a scan tool display was less than 3.2 volts, replace the FTP sensor.
