        *a Vent Line Port
        *b Air Line Port
        *c Purge Line Port
        *d Air

        With the purge port closed, blow 5 kPa (0.1 kgf/cm2, 0.7 psi) of air into the vent line port, and check that air flows from the air line port.

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

        *1 Pressure Gauge
        *a Vent Line Port
        *b Air Line Port
        *c Purge Line Port

        Connect a pressure gauge to the vent line port of the charcoal canister assembly.

      2. With the purge line port and the air line port closed, apply 20 kPa (150 mmHg, 5.91 in.Hg) of pressurized air into the vent line port, then confirm that pressure is retained for 1 minute.

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

    4. Check the charcoal canister leak detection pump sub-assembly.


      1. A01HNST

        Connect a positive (+) lead from the battery to terminal 5 and a negative (-) lead to terminal 1.

      2. Check that a clicking sound is heard from the charcoal canister leak detection pump sub-assembly.

        If the result is not as specified, replace the charcoal canister leak detection pump sub-assembly.
