PROCEDURE
CHECK FUEL CUT RPM
Put the engine in inspection mode Click here.
Start and warm up the engine.
Increase the engine speed to at least 2500 rpm.
Note
When checking the fuel cut rpm, the transmission should be in park.
Use a sound scope to check for injector operating sounds.
When the accelerator pedal is released, check that injector operating sounds stop momentarily (at 2500 rpm or higher) and then resume (at 1400 rpm).

If the result is not as specified, check the injectors, wiring and ECM.
VISUALLY INSPECT HOSES, CONNECTIONS AND GASKETS
Visually check that the hoses, connections and gaskets have no cracks, leaks or damage.
Tech Tips
Detachment or other problems with the engine oil dipstick, filler cap, PCV hose and other components may cause the engine to run improperly.
If any defects are found, replace parts as necessary.
INSPECT EVAPORATIVE EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM
Put the engine in inspection mode Click here.
Start the engine.
Disconnect the fuel vapor feed hose shown in the illustration.
Connect the GTS to the DLC3.
Turn the GTS on.
Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Active Test / Activate the VSV for Evap Control.
Check that vacuum occurs at the VSV port.
Exit Active Test mode and reconnect the fuel vapor feed hose.
Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Data List / 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
Disconnect the vent line hose from the canister.
Connect the pressure gauge to the vent line hose.
| *1 | Fuel Tank Cap | *2 | Vent Line Hose |
| *3 | Pressure Gauge | - | - |
Apply 4 kPa (0.04 kgf/cm2, 0.6 psi) of pressure to the vent line of the fuel tank.
Tech Tips
Perform this inspection with the fuel tank less than 90% full. When the fuel tank 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 is removed, the pressure does not decrease smoothly.
Check that the fuel tank 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 is not completely tightened.
The fuel tank cap is damaged.
Air is leaking from the vent line.
The fuel tank is damaged.
When the fuel tank cap is removed, check that the pressure is released smoothly.
Tech Tips
If the pressure does not drop, replace the fuel tank assembly.
Reconnect the vent line hose to the canister.
INSPECT AIR INLET LINE
Disconnect the air inlet line hose from the charcoal canister.
Check that air flows freely into the air inlet line.
If air does not flow freely into the air inlet line, repair or replace the air inlet line hose.
Reconnect the air inlet line hose to the charcoal canister.
