EVAP System Leak Test

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 8 other vehicles, including the 2003 Nissan Xterra, 2003 Nissan Sentra, 2003 Nissan Pathfinder, 2003 Nissan Murano, and 2003 Nissan Maxima. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
CAUTION: DO NOT apply more than 0.6 psi (0.04 kg/cm2 ) of pressure to EVAP system. DO NOT use compressed air.
NOTE: DO NOT start engine during testing procedure.

  1. Using CONSULT-II

    Attach EVAP service port adapter securely to EVAP service port. Attach pressure pump and hose. Turn ignition on. Using CONSULT-II in WORK SUPPORT MODE select EVAP SYSTEM CLOSE. Touch START. A bar graph should appear, using pressure pump apply pressure until pressure indicator reaches middle of graph. Remove EVAP service port adapter along with pump. Locate leak using Leak Detector (J41416).

  2. Without CONSULT-II

    Connect suitable pressure pump with gauge to EVAP service port. See VACUUM DIAGRAMS article for location. Using jumper wires, apply battery voltage to EVAP Canister Vent Control Valve (EVAP-CVCV) and vacuum cut valve by-pass valve. See Fig 1-Fig 8 . Apply 0.2-0.4 psi (0.01-0.03 kg/cm2 ) of pressure to EVAP service port. Remove pressure pump from EVAP service port. Using Leak Detector (J41416), locate EVAP system leak.
