2. Check canister operation.
  1. With the purge port closed, blow 0.39 kPa (4.0 kgf/cm² , 0.06 psi) of air into the vent port, and check that air flows from the air inlet port.
    If the result is not as specified, replace the canister.

3. Check the air tightness.
  1. While holding the vent and air inlet ports closed, apply vacuum (3.43 kPa, 25.7 mmHg, 1.01 in.Hg) to the purge port, and check that the vacuum is maintained for 1 minute.
  If the result is not as specified, replace the charcoal canister assy.

4. Check the leak detection pump.
  1. Remove the detection pump from the canister.
  2. Check that air flows from port A to B and then to C.
    If the result is not as specified, replace the canister.

  3. Connect the positive (+) lead of the battery to terminal 7 and the negative (-) lead to terminal 6.
  4. Check that the valve is closed.
    If the result is not as specified, replace the canister.
  5. Install the detection pump.

INSPECT VENTILATION VALVE SUB-ASSY
1. Install a clean hose to the ventilation valve.
2. Inspect ventilation valve operation.
  1. Blow air from the cylinder head side of the engine, and check that air passes through easily.
    CAUTION: Do not suck air through the valve. Petroleum substances stuck to the valve is harmful.

INSPECT PURGE VSV

Measure the purge VSV resistance.

Standard:

RESISTANCE CONDITION

Tester Connection	Specified Condition
1 - 2	26 to 30 Ω at 20°C (68°F)
1 - Body ground 2 - Body ground	10 MΩ or higher

If the result is not as specified, replace the purge VSV.
