Inspection Procedure

NOTE: An intelligent tester is required to conduct the following diagnostic troubleshooting procedure.

HINT:

  1. CONFIRM DTC 
    1. Turn the ignition switch OFF and wait for 10 seconds.
    2. Turn the ignition switch ON.
    3. Turn the ignition switch OFF and wait for 10 seconds.
    4. Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.
    5. Turn the ignition switch ON and press the intelligent tester switch ON.
    6. Enter the following menus: DIAGNOSIS / ENHANCED OBD II / DTC INFO / CURRENT CODES.
    7. Confirm DTCs and freeze frame data.

      If any EVAP system DTCs are set, the malfunctioning area can be determined using the table below.

      NOTE: If the 0.02 inch reference pressure difference between the first and second checks is greater than the specification, the DTCs corresponding to the reference pressure (P043E, P043F, P0441, P0455, P0456, P2401 and P2420) will all be all stored.

  2. PERFORM EVAP SYSTEM CHECK (AUTO OPERATION) 
    NOTE:
    • In the EVAP SYSTEM CHECK (AUTO OPERATION), the series of 5 EVAP SYSTEM CHECK steps are performed automatically. It takes a maximum of approximately 18 minutes.
    • Do not perform the EVAP SYSTEM CHECK when the fuel tank is more than 90% full because the cut-off valve may be closed and making the leak check of the fuel tank unavailable.
    • Do not run the engine in this step.
    • When the temperature of the fuel is 35°C (95°F) or more, a large amount of vapor forms and any check results become inaccurate. When performing the EVAP SYSTEM CHECK, keep the temperature below 35°C (95°F).
    1. Clear DTCs (See DTC CHECK / CLEAR  ).
    2. On the intelligent tester, select the following menu items: DIAGNOSIS / ENHANCED OBD II / SYSTEM CHECK / EVAP SYS CHECK / AUTO OPERATION.
    3. After the EVAP SYSTEM CHECK is completed, check for pending DTCs by selecting the following menu items: DIAGNOSIS / ENHANCED OBD II / DTC INFO / PENDING CODES.

      HINT:

      If no pending DTC is displayed, perform the Monitor Confirmation after this repair is completed. After this confirmation, check for pending DTCs. If no DTC is displayed, the EVAP system is normal.

    NOTE:
    • In the EVAP SYSTEM CHECK (MANUAL OPERATION), the series of 5 EVAP SYSTEM CHECK steps is performed manually.
    • Do not perform the EVAP SYSTEM CHECK when the fuel tank is more than 90% full because the cut-off valve may be closed, making the leak check of the fuel tank unavailable.
    • Do not run the engine in this step.
    • When the temperature of the fuel is 35°C (95°F) or more, a large amount of vapor forms and any check results become inaccurate. When performing the EVAP SYSTEM CHECK, keep the temperature below 35°C (95°F).
    1. Clear DTCs (See DTC CHECK / CLEAR  ).

    2. Remove the exhaust tail pipe.
    3. Remove the heat insulator under the canister.
    4. Pinch the atmospheric side hose of the pump module with the clip to close the canister's passage to air.
    5. Connect the pressure gauge (SST) to the service port (green cap near the air cleaner box).
    6. Pressurize the EVAP system to 3.2 to 3.7 kPa (24 to 28 mmHg).
      NOTE: More than 35 mmHg of pressure will damage the EVAP system. Pay attention to the pressure.
    7. Apply soapy water to the piping and connecting parts of the EVAP system. Look for the area where bubbles appear. This area cause leaks.

      HINT:

      • If the system has leaks, a whistling sound will be heard.
      • Disconnect the hose between canister and fuel tank from the canister. Close the canister on the area where the hose was connected and perform an inspection. The fuel tank can be eliminated from the suspected areas for leak checks.
    8. Repair or replace the leak point.

  30. REPLACE CHARCOAL CANISTER ASSEMBLY 

    NEXT : Go to step   37 

  31. REPLACE VACUUM SWITCHING VALVE ASSEMBLY NO.1 (PURGE VSV) 
    1. Disconnect the connector and hoses from the purge VSV.
    2. Remove the purge VSV.
    3. Install a new purge VSV.
    4. Reconnect the connector and hoses.

  32. REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS AND CONNECTOR 
    1. In case that the exhaust tail pipe is removed, go to the next step before installing it.

    NEXT : Go to step   37 

  33. REPLACE EVAP HOSE (THROTTLE BODY - PURGE VSV) 

    NEXT : Go to step   37 

  34. INSPECT THROTTLE BODY ASSEMBLY 
    1. Remove the throttle body (See REMOVAL  ).
    2. Check that there is no clog in the EVAP purge port of the throttle body. If necessary, replace the throttle body.

    NEXT : Go to step   37 

  35. REPLACE ECM 
    1. Replace the ECM (See REMOVAL  ).

    NEXT : Go to step   37 

  36. REPAIR OR REPLACE PARTS AND COMPONENTS INDICATED BY OUTPUT DTCS 
    1. Repair the malfunctioning areas indicated by the DTCs that had been confirmed when the vehicle was brought in.

    NEXT 

  37. PERFORM EVAP SYSTEM CHECK (AUTO OPERATION) 
    NOTE:
    • In the EVAP SYSTEM CHECK (AUTO OPERATION), the series of 5 EVAP SYSTEM CHECK steps is performed automatically. It takes a maximum of approximately 18 minutes.
    • Do not perform the EVAP SYSTEM CHECK when the fuel tank is more than 90% full because the cut-off valve may be closed, making the leak check of the fuel tank unavailable.
    • Do not run the engine in this step.
    • When the temperature of the fuel is 35°C (95°F) or more, a large amount of vapor forms and any check results become inaccurate. When performing an EVAP SYSTEM CHECK, keep the temperature below 35°C (95°F).
    1. Clear the DTCs (See DTC CHECK / CLEAR  ).
    2. On the intelligent tester, select the following menu items: DIAGNOSIS / ENHANCED OBD II / SYSTEM CHECK / EVAP SYS CHECK / AUTO OPERATION.
    3. After the SYSTEM CHECK is completed, check for pending DTCs by selecting the following menu items: DIAGNOSIS / ENHANCED OBD II / DTC INFO / PENDING CODES.

      HINT:

      If no pending DTC is found, the repair has been successfully completed.
