Diagnostic Procedures

  1. Perform OBD-II System Check. Read and record FREEZE FRAME and/or FAIL RECORDS data for each DTC set. Go to next step.
  2. If DTC P1655 is also set, diagnose DTC P1655 first. If DTC is not set, go to next step.
  3. Turn ignition off. Remove fuel cap. Turn ignition on. Using scan tool, read FUEL TANK PRESSURE. If scan tool displays 0 IN H2O go to next step. If scan tool does not display 0 IN H2O, repair faulty fuel tank pressure sensor circuit.
  4. Zero pressure and vacuum gauges on EVAP Pressure/Purge Cart (J41413). Reinstall fuel cap. Read and record FAIL RECORDS data for DTC P1441. Clear DTCs. Connect EVAP pressure/purge cart to EVAP service port. Using scan tool, command EVAP vent solenoid ON (closed). Using EVAP pressure/purge cart, attempt to pressurize EVAP system to 5 in. H2O. If specified pressure is achieved, go to next step. If specified pressure is not achieved, to step 6).
  5. Maintain EVAP system pressure at 5 in. H2O. Using scan tool, read FUEL TANK PRESSURE. If scan tool displays 5 in. H2O, go to next step. If scan tool does not display 5 in. H2O, repair faulty fuel tank pressure sensor circuit.
  6. Check EVAP purge vacuum and source line routing and connections at EVAP purge solenoid. If no problem is found, go to next step. If a problem is found, go to step 9).
  7. Disconnect engine vacuum source line from EVAP purge solenoid. Connect a hand vacuum pump to engine vacuum side of EVAP purge solenoid Attempt to apply 15 in. Hg vacuum to EVAP canister. If vacuum is maintained as specified, go to DIAGNOSTIC AIDS. If vacuum cannot be maintained as specified, go to next step.
  8. Replace EVAP purge solenoid and go to step 10).
  9. Correct line routing and connections as necessary and go to next step.
  10. Turn engine on. Remove fuel cap. Using scan tool OUTPUT TESTS function. Select and activate SEAL SYSTEM. Reinstall fuel cap. Run engine at 2500 RPM for 10 seconds while monitoring FUEL TANK PRESSURE on scan tool. If scan tool displays 0 H2O, repair is complete. If scan tool does not display 0 H2O, return to step 3).
