Diagnostic Procedures

  1. Did you perform the Diagnostic System Check - Engine Controls? If yes, go to next step. If no, go to DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM CHECK - ENGINE CONTROLS  under SELF-DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM.
  2. Disconnect the EVAP canister side of the purge pipe from the EVAP purge solenoid. Install a hand-held vacuum gauge to the EVAP purge solenoid purge port. Disconnect the EVAP purge solenoid harness connector. Monitor vacuum on the vacuum gauge. Start engine and allow engine to idle. Increase the idle to 1200-1500 RPM. Does the vacuum gauge indicate an increase in vacuum? If yes, go to step  8. If no, go to next step.
  3. Connect the EVAP purge solenoid harness connector. Monitor vacuum on the vacuum gauge. Increase the idle to 1200-1500 RPM. Does the vacuum gauge indicate an increase in vacuum? If yes, go to step  5. If no, go to next step.
  4. Turn OFF the ignition. Remove and then install the fuel fill cap. Turn ignition on, with engine off. Observe the Fuel Tank Pressure Sensor parameter with a scan tool. Is the Fuel Tank Pressure Sensor parameter within 2.35-2.85 volts? If yes, go to DIAGNOSTIC AIDS . If no, go to step  7.
  5. Test the EVAP purge solenoid control circuit for a short to ground. Did you find and correct the conditions? If yes, go to step  9. If no, go to next step.
  6. Test for an intermittent and for a poor connection at the EVAP purge solenoid. Did you find and correct the condition? If yes, go to step  9. If no, go to next step.
  7. Replace FTP sensor. After replacement, go to step  9.
  8. Replace EVAP purge solenoid. After replacement, go to next step.
  9. Clear DTCs with a scan tool. Turn OFF the ignition for 30 seconds. Start engine. Operate vehicle within the Conditions for Running the DTC. See CONDITIONS FOR RUNNING DTC . You may also operate the vehicle within the conditions that you observed from the Freeze Frame/Failure Records. Did the DTC fail this ignition? If yes, go to step  2. If no, go to next step.
  10. Observe the Capture Info with a scan tool. Are there any DTCs that have not been diagnosed? If yes, diagnose affected DTC(s). See DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE DEFINITIONS . If no, system is okay.
