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 power switch on (IG).
PROCEDURE
VISUALLY CHECK 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, PCV hose or other components may cause the engine to run improperly.
Air suction caused by disconnections, looseness or cracks in any part of the air induction system between the throttle body with motor assembly and cylinder head sub-assembly will cause 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 power switch on (IG).
Connect the GTS to the DLC3.
Turn the power switch on (IG).
Turn the GTS on.
Put the engine in inspection mode (maintenance mode).
Disconnect the No. 2 fuel vapor feed hose from the purge VSV.
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 VSV port.
If vacuum does not occur, check the following items.
Purge VSV
Clogging in the No. 1 fuel vapor feed hose that connects the intake manifold and purge VSV
Voltage from the ECM PRG terminal
w/ Canister Pump Module:
w/o Canister Pump Module:
Exit Active Test mode and connect the No. 2 fuel vapor feed hose.
If the result is not as specified, replace the purge VSV, wire harness or ECM.
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 VSV opens.
If the result is not as specified, replace the purge VSV, wire harness or ECM.
CHECK FUEL TANK AND VENT LINE (w/ Canister Pump Module)
Disconnect the fuel tank vent hose sub-assembly from the charcoal canister assembly.
| *1 | Fuel Tank Cap Assembly | *2 | Fuel Tank Vent Hose Sub-assembly |
| *a | Pressure Gauge | - | - |
Connect a pressure gauge to the fuel tank vent hose sub-assembly.
Apply 4 kPa (0.04 kgf/cm2, 0.6 psi) of pressure to the vent line of the fuel tank assembly.
Tech Tips
Perform this inspection with the fuel tank assembly less than 90% full. When the fuel tank assembly is full, the fuel fill check valve closes and the pressure is released through the 2 mm (0.0787 in.) orifice. As a result, when the fuel tank cap assembly is removed, the pressure does not decrease smoothly.
Check that the fuel tank assembly pressure is maintained for some time and does not decrease immediately.
Tech Tips
If the pressure decreases immediately, one of the following may apply:
The fuel tank cap assembly is not completely tightened.
The fuel tank cap assembly is damaged.
Air is leaking from the vent line.
The fuel tank assembly is damaged.
Remove the fuel tank cap assembly and check that the pressure is released smoothly.
If the pressure is not released smoothly, replace the fuel tank assembly.
Connect the fuel tank vent hose sub-assembly to the charcoal canister assembly.
INSPECT AIR LINE (w/ Canister Pump Module)
| *1 | Air Line Tube |
| *a | Air |
Disconnect the air line tube from the canister pump module.
Check that air flows freely into the air line.
If air does not flow freely into the air line, repair or replace the air line tube.
Connect the air line tube to the canister pump module.
