CANISTER ON-VEHICLE INSPECTION

PROCEDURE


  1. INSPECT CANISTER (CHARCOAL CANISTER ASSEMBLY)


    1. Visually check the canister (charcoal canister assembly).


      1. Visually check the canister (charcoal canister assembly) for cracks or damage.

        If cracks or damage are found, replace the canister (charcoal canister assembly).

    2. Check canister (charcoal canister assembly) operation under positive pressure.

        *a Retainer
        *b Claw
        B005NIZ Pull
        B005LWS Pull out
        B005N37 Pull off

        Disengage the 2 claws of the retainer. Pull out the retainer and disconnect the fuel tank vent hose sub-assembly from the canister (charcoal canister assembly).

        Note


        • Be sure to disconnect the fuel tank vent hose sub-assembly by hand.

        • Do not scratch or allow any foreign matter to get on the parts when disconnecting them as the fuel tube connector has O-rings that seal the pipe.

        • Do not bend, twist, pinch or kink the fuel tank vent hose sub-assembly.

        • Protect the disconnected parts by covering them with plastic bags after disconnecting the fuel tank vent hose sub-assembly.

      2. Close the fuel tank vent hose sub-assembly using a hose plug or similar part.

      3. B005L3KC01
        *a Test Hose
        *b Air

        Connect a test hose to the canister (charcoal canister assembly).

      4. Blow 8 kPa (0.1 kgf/cm2, 1.2 psi) of air into the test hose and check that air passes through the canister (charcoal canister assembly).

        If the result is not as specified, replace the canister (charcoal canister assembly).

      5. Disconnect the test hose from the canister (charcoal canister assembly).

        *a Retainer
        *b Claw
        B005NIZ Push
        B005LWS Push in

        Push the fuel tank vent hose sub-assembly onto the canister (charcoal canister assembly) and push in the retainer to engage the 2 claws.

        Note


        • Check that there are no scratches or foreign matter around the connecting parts of the fuel tank vent hose sub-assembly and pipe (canister (charcoal canister assembly)) before performing this work.

        • After connecting the fuel tank vent hose sub-assembly, check that the fuel tank vent hose sub-assembly is securely connected by pulling on the tube connector.

    3. Check canister (charcoal canister assembly) operation under vacuum.

        *b Claw
        B005NIZ Pull
        B005LWS Pull out
        B005N37 Pull off

        Disengage the 2 claws of the retainer. Pull out the retainer and disconnect the fuel tank vent hose sub-assembly from the canister (charcoal canister assembly).

        Note


        • Be sure to disconnect the fuel tank vent hose sub-assembly by hand.

        • Do not scratch or allow any foreign matter to get on the parts when disconnecting them as the fuel tube connector has O-rings that seal the pipe.

        • Do not bend, twist, pinch or kink the fuel tank vent hose sub-assembly.

        • Protect the disconnected parts by covering them with plastic bags after disconnecting the fuel tank vent hose sub-assembly.

      2. Close the fuel tank vent hose sub-assembly using a hose plug or similar part.

      3. B005L7UC01
        *a Test Hose

        Connect a test hose to the canister (charcoal canister assembly).

      4. Connect a vacuum pump to the test hose.

      5. Using the vacuum pump, apply vacuum and check that the vacuum pump needle does not move from its initial position.

        Tech Tips

        The vacuum pump needle may move when applying vacuum. If the vacuum pump needle quickly returns to its initial position, the canister (charcoal canister assembly) is operating normally.

        If the result is not as specified, replace the canister (charcoal canister assembly).

      6. Disconnect the vacuum pump from the test hose.

      7. Disconnect the test hose from the canister (charcoal canister assembly).

        *a Retainer
        *b Claw
        B005NIZ Push
        B005LWS Push in

        Push the fuel tank vent hose sub-assembly onto the canister (charcoal canister assembly) and push in the retainer to engage the 2 claws.

        Note


        • Check that there are no scratches or foreign matter around the connecting parts of the fuel tank vent hose sub-assembly and pipe (canister (charcoal canister assembly)) before performing this work.

        • After connecting the fuel tank vent hose sub-assembly, check that the fuel tank vent hose sub-assembly is securely connected by pulling on the tube connector.

    4. Check for clogs in the air filter (when not using the GTS).
