Circuit/System Testing
IMPORTANT:
- Larger volume fuel tanks and/or those with lower fuel levels may require several minutes for the floating indicator to stabilize.
- Refer to the J 41413-200 operation manual for detailed instructions.
- Connect the J 41413-200 to the vehicle EVAP service port. For vehicles without a service port, disconnect the purge tube at the quick connector on the EVAP canister side of the purge solenoid valve and install the CH-48096 .
- Seal the EVAP system and use the flow meter on the J 41413-200
calibrated to 0.51 mm (0.02 in) to determine that there is no leak in the EVAP system.
- If a leak is detected, use the J 41413-200 to apply smoke to the EVAP system at the service port until the leak is located.
- To test for a restriction, connect the J 41413-200 nitrogen/smoke hose to the J 41413-311 brass cone adapter. Disconnect the hose at the fuel cap end of the GE-41415-50 . Connect the J 41413-311 to the disconnected hose on the GE-41415-50 . Install the GE-41415-50 filler neck end only to the vehicle.
- Allow the engine to idle.
- Use the Purge/Seal function to seal the system with a scan tool.
- Command the EVAP canister purge solenoid valve to 30 percent.
- The vacuum/pressure gage on the J 41413-200
and the FTP parameter on the scan tool should both show vacuum.
- If the vacuum/pressure gage shows vacuum but the FTP parameter does not show vacuum, replace the FTP sensor.
- If neither the FTP parameter nor the vacuum/pressure gage shows vacuum, repair the restriction in the purge path. Refer to Evaporative Emissions Hose Routing Diagram .
- Verify that the vacuum increases to the abort limit on the scan tool or more than 3.2 volts, and the value is closely similar between the scan tool and the vacuum/pressure gage on the J 41413-200
.
- If the values are not similar or the voltage did not reach 3.2 volts, replace the FTP sensor.
