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

      
      

      1. Start the engine.

      2. Warm up the engine.

      3. Allow the engine to idle for 15 minutes.

      4. Open the fuel tank cap assembly to discharge the pressure in the fuel tank assembly.

      5. Close the fuel tank cap assembly and allow the engine to idle for 30 seconds.

      6. 

         Open the fuel tank cap assembly again and check for inhalation sounds.

         OK
         No whooshing sounds (inhalation sound) are heard.

         Tip:

         If there is a smell of gasoline and a whooshing sound (exhalation sound) is heard, positive pressure in the fuel tank assembly is being discharged. This does not indicate a malfunction.

   3. Check for clogs in the air filter (when using the GTS).

      
      

      1. Connect the GTS to the DLC3.

      2. Start the engine.

      3. Turn the GTS on.

      4. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Active Test / Activate the VSV for Evap Control.

         
         
         1. Powertrain > Engine > Active Test

            Tester Display
            Activate the VSV for Evap Control

         2. 
            
            1. 
               
         3. 
            
            11. 
                

      5. Open the fuel tank cap assembly to discharge the pressure in the fuel tank assembly.

      6. Perform the Active Test "Activate the VSV for Evap Control" while the engine is idling.

      7. Close the fuel tank cap assembly and allow the engine to idle for 30 seconds.

      8. Open the fuel tank cap assembly again and check for inhalation sounds.

         OK
         No whooshing sounds (inhalation sound) are heard.

         Tip:

         If there is a smell of gasoline and a whooshing sound (exhalation sound) is heard, positive pressure in the fuel tank assembly is being discharged. This does not indicate a malfunction.

   INSPECT CANISTER (FUEL TANK VENT TUBE ASSEMBLY) (for Vacuum Measurement Method)

   
   

   1. Visually check the canister (fuel tank vent tube assembly) for airtightness.

      
      

      1. Visually check the canister (fuel tank vent tube assembly) for cracks or damage, and check that there is no gasoline smell.

   2. Inspect the airflow of the canister (fuel tank vent tube assembly).

      Note:

      When inspecting with parts installed on the vehicle, be sure to remove the fuel tank cap assembly.

      
      
      1. 

         *a	Port (A)
         *b	Port (B)
         *c	Port (C)
         *d	Air

         Close the port (B) and check that air flows from the port (C) when air is blown into the port (A).

         OK
         The air flows out from the port (C).

   3. Inspect the check valve.

      Note:

      When inspecting with parts installed on the vehicle, be sure to remove the fuel tank cap assembly.

      
      
      1. 

         *a	Port (A)
         *b	Port (B)
         *c	Port (C)
         *d	Air

         Close the port (C) and check that air flows from the port (B) when air is blown into the port (A).

         OK
         The air flows out from the port (B).

      2. 

         *a	Port (A)
         *b	Port (C)
         *c	Vacuum Pump

         Using a vacuum pump, apply vacuum to the port (A) with the port (C) closed.

         OK
         Air does not flow.

   4. 

      *1	Fuel Hose
      *a	3-way Connector
      *b	Hose
      *c	Vacuum Pump

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

      
      

      1. Connect the fuel hose to the canister (fuel tank vent tube assembly) via the 3-way connector, hose and vacuum pump as shown in the illustration.

      2. Start the engine.

      3. Warm up the engine.

      4. Allow the engine to idle for 15 minutes.

      5. Check the indicator needle of the vacuum pump.

         OK
         The indicator needle of the vacuum pump does not rise from its initial position.

         Tip:

         The indicator needle may shake due to engine vibration, etc., but if it immediately returns to its initial position, there is no problem.

   5. 

      *1	Fuel Hose
      *a	3-way Connector
      *b	Hose
      *c	Vacuum Pump

      Check for clogs in the air filter (when using the GTS).

      
      

      1. Connect the fuel hose to the canister (fuel tank vent tube assembly) via the 3-way connector, hose and vacuum pump as shown in the illustration.

      2. Connect the GTS to the DLC3.

      3. Start the engine.

      4. Turn the GTS on.

      5. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Active Test / Activate the VSV for Evap Control.

         
         
         1. Powertrain > Engine > Active Test

            Tester Display
            Activate the VSV for Evap Control

         2. 
            
            1.

      6. Perform the Active Test "Activate the VSV for Evap Control" while the engine is idling.

      7. Check the indicator needle of the vacuum pump.

         OK
         The indicator needle of the vacuum pump does not rise from its initial position.

         Tip:

         The indicator needle may shake due to engine vibration, etc., but if it immediately returns to its initial position, there is no problem.
