| *1 | Sound Scope |
Start and warm up the engine.
Increase the engine speed to at least 3500 rpm.
Use a sound scope to check for injector operating sounds.
When the accelerator pedal is released, check that injector operating sounds stop momentarily and then resume.

Tech Tips
Perform the inspection with the A/C off.
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 dipstick, filler cap, PCV 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 and cylinder head will allow air suction and cause an engine failure or engine malfunctions.
If the result is not as specified, replace parts as necessary.
INSPECT EVAPORATIVE EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM
Connect the GTS to the DLC3.
Slide the clamp and disconnect the fuel vapor feed hose from the purge VSV.
Start the engine.
Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Active Test / Activate the VSV for Evap Control.

Check that vacuum occurs at the purge VSV port.
If vacuum does not occur, check the following items.
Purge VSV
Clogging in the fuel vapor feed hose connecting the intake manifold and purge VSV
Voltage at the ECM PRG terminal
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 valve opens.
If the result is not as specified, replace the purge VSV, wire harness or ECM.
CHECK LINE AND CONNECTORS
Visually check for loose connections, sharp bends or damage.
CHECK FUEL TANK ASSEMBLY
Visually check for deformation, cracks or fuel leakage.
