Inspection Procedure

NOTE: A hand-held tester is required to conduct the following diagnostic troubleshooting procedure.

HINT:

  1. CONFIRM DTC 
    1. Turn the ignition switch to OFF and wait for 10 seconds.
    2. Turn the ignition switch to ON.
    3. Turn the ignition switch to OFF and wait for 10 seconds.
    4. Connect a hand-held tester to the DLC3.
    5. Turn the ignition switch to ON and turn the tester ON.
    6. Select the following menu items: DIAGNOSIS / ENHANCED OBD II / DTC INFO / CURRENT CODES.
    7. Confirm DTCs and freeze frame data.

      If any EVAP system DTCs are set, the malfunctioning area can be determined using the table below.

      Fig 1: Malfunctioning Area Chart

    NOTE: If the 0.02 inch reference pressure difference between the first and second checks is greater than the specification, the DTCs corresponding to the reference pressure (P043E, P043F, P0441, P0455, P0456, P2401, P2420) will be all stored.
  2. PERFORM EVAP SYSTEM CHECK (AUTO OPERATION) 
    NOTE:
    • In the EVAP SYSTEM CHECK (AUTO OPERATION), the series of 5 EVAP SYSTEM CHECK steps is performed automatically. It takes a maximum of approximately 18 minutes.
    • Do not perform the EVAP SYSTEM CHECK when the fuel tank is more than 90% full because the cut-off valve may be closed and making the leak check of the fuel tank unavailable.
    • Do not run the engine in this step.
    • When the temperature of the fuel is 35°C (95°F) or more, a large amount of vapor forms and any check results become inaccurate. When performing the EVAP SYSTEM CHECK, keep the temperature below 35°C (95°F).
    1. Clear DTCs (See DTC CHECK/CLEAR ).
    2. On the hand-held tester, select the following menu items: DIAGNOSIS / ENHANCED OBD II / SYSTEM CHECK / EVAP SYS CHECK / AUTO OPERATION.
    3. After the EVAP SYSTEM CHECK is completed, check for pending DTCs by selecting the following menu items: DIAGNOSIS / ENHANCED OBD II / DTC INFO / PENDING CODES.

    HINT:

    If no pending DTC is displayed, perform the Monitor Confirmation after this repair is completed. After this confirmation, check for pending DTCs. If no DTC is displayed, the EVAP system is normal.

  3. PERFORM EVAP SYSTEM CHECK (MANUAL OPERATION)

    NOTE:
    • In the EVAP SYSTEM CHECK (MANUAL OPERATION), the series of 5 EVAP SYSTEM CHECK steps is performed manually.
    • Do not perform the EVAP SYSTEM CHECK when the fuel tank is more than 90% full because the cut-off valve may be closed and making the leak check of the fuel tank unavailable.
    • Do not run the engine in this step.
    • When the temperature of the fuel is 35°C (95°F) or more, a large amount of vapor forms and any check results become inaccurate. When performing the EVAP SYSTEM CHECK, keep the temperature below 35°C (95°F).

  27. CORRECTLY REINSTALL OR REPLACE FUEL TANK CAP 

    HINT:

    • When reinstalling the fuel tank cap, tighten it until a few click sounds are heard.
    • When replacing the fuel tank cap, use a fuel tank cap that meets OEM specifications, and install it until a few click sounds are heard.

    Go to step   37 

  28. REPLACE FUEL TANK CAP ASSY 

    HINT:

    When installing the fuel tank cap, tighten it until a few click sounds are heard.

    Go to step   37 

  29. REPAIR EVAP LEAK PART 
    1. Prepare a rubber hose with a 15 to 18.5 mm inside diameter.
    2. Reinstall the fuel tank cap.
    3. Disconnect the atmospheric side hose of the pump module.
    4. Connect the rubber tube to the pump module.
    5. Using SST, pinch the rubber tube to close the canister passage to air.

    7. Pressurize the EVAP system to 3.2 to 3.7 kPa (24 to 28 mmHg).
    8. Apply soapy water to the piping and connecting parts of the EVAP system. Look for areas where bubbles appear. This indicates leaking points.
    9. Repair or replace leaking point.

    HINT:

    • If the system has leaks, a whistling sound will be heard.
    • Disconnect the hose between the canister and the fuel tank from the canister. Close the canister hose connected to the fuel tank, and conduct an inspection. In this way, the fuel tank can be excluded as an area suspected of causing fuel leaks.

    Go to step   36 

  30. REPLACE CHARCOAL CANISTER ASSY 

    Go to step   37 

  31. REPLACE VACUUM SWITCHING VALVE ASSY NO. 1(PURGE VSV) 
    1. Disconnect the connector and the hoses from the purge VSV.
    2. Remove the purge VSV.
    3. Install a new purge VSV.
    4. Reconnect the connector and hoses.

    Go to step   37 

  32. REPAIR OR REPLACE WIRE HARNESS AND CONNECTOR 

    Go to step   37 

  33. REPLACE EVAP HOSE (THROTTLE BODY - PURGE VSV) 

    Go to step   37 

  34. INSPECT THROTTLE W/MOTOR BODY ASSY 
    1. Remove the throttle body (See REPLACEMENT ).
    2. Check that the EVAP purge port of the throttle body is not clogged. If necessary, replace the throttle body.

      Go to step   37 

  35. REPLACE ECM (See  REPLACEMENT  ) 

    Go to step   37 

  36. REPAIR OR REPLACE PARTS AND COMPONENTS INDICATED BY OUTPUT DTCS 
    1. Repair the malfunctioning areas indicated by the DTCs that had been confirmed when the vehicle was brought in.
  37. PERFORM EVAP SYSTEM CHECK (AUTO OPERATION) 
    NOTE:
    • In the EVAP SYSTEM CHECK (AUTO OPERATION), the series of 4 EVAP SYSTEM CHECK steps is performed automatically. It takes a maximum of approximately 15 minutes.
    • Do not perform the EVAP SYSTEM CHECK when the fuel tank is more than 90 % full because the cut-off valve may be closed and making the leak check of the fuel tank unavailable.
    • Do not run the engine in this step.
    • When the temperature of the fuel is 35°C (95°F) or more, a large amount of vapor forms and any check results become inaccurate. When performing an EVAP SYSTEM CHECK, keep the temperature below 35°C (95°F).
    1. Clear DTCs (See DTC CHECK/CLEAR ).
    2. On the hand-held tester, select the following menu items: DIAGNOSIS / ENHANCED OBD II / SYSTEM CHECK / EVAP SYS CHECK / AUTO OPERATION.
    3. After the SYSTEM CHECK is completed, check for pending DTCs by selecting the following menu items: DIAGNOSIS / ENHANCED OBD II / DTC INFO / PENDING CODES.

    HINT:

    If no pending DTC is found, the repair has been successfully completed.
