April 5, 2026: LEMON Manuals is launched! Read the announcement.

If simulation function of M-MDS is used:

  1. Start the engine.
  2. Disconnect the vacuum hose between the purge solenoid valve and the charcoal canister.
  3. Put a finger to the purge solenoid valve and verify that there is no vacuum applied when the engine is cold.
    • If there is a vacuum, inspect the following:
      • Wiring harness and connectors (Purge solenoid valve - PCM terminal 2AB)
      • Purge solenoid valve (stuck open)
  4. Connect the M-MDS to the DLC-2 and verify that the DTC P0403 is displayed. Perform the DTC inspection. (See DTC TABLE .)
  5. Select the EVAPCP PID.
  6. Increase the duty value of the purge solenoid valve to 50% and inspect if the operation sound of the valve is heard.
    • If the operation sound is heard, inspect for loose or damaged vacuum hoses. (Intake manifold - purge solenoid valve - charcoal canister)
    • If the operation sound is not heard, perform the purge solenoid valve inspection.
  7. Warm up the engine to normal operating temperature.
  8. Monitor the EVAPCP PID using the M-MDS, and drive the vehicle approx. 2000 rpm  for 30 s  or more.
    • If the EVAPCP PID is 0%  , inspect the following.
      • MAF, APP1, APP2, TP_REL and LOAD PIDs.
