Diagnostic Procedure

1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
2. Check EVAP canister for cracks.

OK or NG

• OK (With CONSULT-II):GO TO 2.
• OK (Without CONSULT-II):GO TO  3.
• NG: Replace EVAP canister.

With CONSULT-II 

1. Disconnect vacuum hose connected to EVAP canister purge volume control solenoid valve at EVAP service port and install vacuum gauge. For the location of EVAP service port, Refer to "EVAPORATIVE EMISSION LINE DRAWING ".
2. Start engine and let it idle.
3. Select "PURG VOL CONT/V" in "ACTIVE TEST" mode with CONSULT-II.
4. Rev engine up to 2, 000 RPM.
5. Touch "Qd" and "Qu" on CONSULT-II screen to adjust "PURG VOL CONT/V" opening and check vacuum existence.
