Inspection Procedure

NOTE:
  • When a vehicle is brought into the workshop, leave it as it is. Do not change the vehicle condition. For example, do not tighten the fuel tank cap.
  • Do not disassemble the pump module.
  • The intelligent tester is required to conduct the following diagnostic troubleshooting procedure.
  1. CONFIRM DTC AND EVAP PRESSURE 
    1. Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.
    2. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position (do not start the engine).
    3. Turn the tester on.
    4. Select the following menu items: DIAGNOSIS / ENHANCED OBD II / DTC INFO / CURRENT CODES.
    5. Read the DTCs.
    6. Select the following menu items: DIAGNOSIS / ENHANCED OBD II / DATA LIST / PRIMARY / VAPOR PRESSURE.
    7. Read the EVAP (Evaporative Emission) pressure displayed on the tester.
