CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT
CAUTION:
To prevent injury due to contact with an operating V-ribbed belt or cooling fan, keep your hands and clothing away from the V-ribbed belt and cooling fans when working in the engine compartment with the engine running or the engine switch on (IG).
PROCEDURE
VISUALLY INSPECT HOSES, CONNECTIONS AND GASKETS
Visually check that the hoses, connections and gaskets have no cracks, leaks or damage.
Note
Detachment or other problems with the engine oil level dipstick, oil filler cap sub-assembly, ventilation hose and other components may cause the engine to run improperly.
Disconnection, looseness or cracks in the parts of the air induction system between the throttle body with motor assembly and cylinder head sub-assembly will allow air leaks which may lead to an engine failure or engine malfunctions.
If any defects are found, replace parts as necessary.
INSPECT EVAPORATIVE EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM
CAUTION:
To prevent injury due to contact with an operating V-ribbed belt or cooling fan, keep your hands and clothing away from the V-ribbed belt and cooling fans when working in the engine compartment with the engine running or the engine switch on (IG).
Connect the GTS to the DLC3.
Slide the clip and disconnect the No. 2 fuel vapor feed hose assembly from the purge valve (purge VSV).
Start the engine.
Turn the GTS on.
Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Active Test / Activate the EVAP Purge VSV.
| Tester Display |
|---|
| Activate the EVAP Purge VSV |
Check that vacuum occurs at the purge valve (purge VSV) port.
If vacuum does not occur, check the following items.
Purge valve (purge VSV)
Clogs in the fuel vapor feed hose connecting the intake manifold and purge valve (purge VSV)
Voltage at the ECM PRG terminal
Exit Active Test mode, connect the No. 2 fuel vapor feed hose assembly to the purge valve (purge VSV) and slide the clip to secure it.
Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Data List / EVAP (Purge) VSV.
| Tester Display |
|---|
| EVAP (Purge) VSV |
Warm up the engine and drive the vehicle.
Confirm that the purge valve (purge VSV) opens.
If the result is not as specified, replace the purge valve (purge VSV), wire harness or ECM.
INSPECT EJECTOR
CAUTION:
To prevent injury due to contact with an operating V-ribbed belt or cooling fan, keep your hands and clothing away from the V-ribbed belt and cooling fans when working in the engine compartment with the engine running or the engine switch on (IG).
Slide the clip and disconnect the No. 3 ventilation hose from the cylinder head cover sub-assembly.
| *a | Pin |
| *b | Valve |
| *c | Ejector |
Check the operation of the valve.
Insert the pin into the ejector hole and check that the valve moves smoothly.
| OK |
|---|
| The valve moves smoothly. |
Tech Tips
If the valve does not move smoothly, it may be stuck inside the ejector.
Connect the No. 3 ventilation hose to the cylinder head cover sub-assembly and slide the clip to secure it.
