Inspection Procedure
NOTE:
Use the EVAP Pressure/Purge Diagnostic Station (J 41413) in order to provide a clean, dry, low pressure gas source. DO NOT substitute any other pressurized gas source. Damage may result to the EVAP system.
- Turn ignition switch to OFF position.
- Disconnect the EVAP canister purge valve harness connector. Disconnect the vacuum pipe from the EVAP canister purge valve. Disconnect the purge pipe from the EVAP canister purge valve. Remove the EVAP canister purge valve. See Fig 1 .
- Lightly tap the EVAP canister purge valve on a hard surface.
- Inspect for carbon particles exiting either of the vacuum ports.
- If no carbon particles were detected, but a blockage was detected during a diagnostic procedure, install the original EVAP canister purge valve and continue with the cleaning procedure.
- If carbon particles are found during the inspection procedure, replace the EVAP canister purge valve and continue with the cleaning procedure.
- If a diagnostic procedure directed you to replace the EVAP canister purge valve and no carbon particles were detected, replace the EVAP canister purge valve and return to diagnostic procedure.
