  2. CHECK CONNECTOR
    1. Disconnect EVAP control system pressure sensor harness connector.
    2. Check sensor harness connector for water.

      Water should not exist. 

    OK or NG 

    1. OK: GO TO 3.
    2. NG: Repair or replace harness connector.

  4. DETECT MALFUNCTIONING PART 

    Check the following.

    • Harness connectors B1, M14
    • Harness connectors M59, F27
    • Harness for open or short between EVAP control system pressure sensor and ECM
      1. Repair harness or connectors.
  5. CHECK EVAP CONTROL SYSTEM PRESSURE SENSOR GROUND CIRCUIT FOR OPEN AND SHORT 
    1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
    2. Disconnect ECM harness connector.
    3. Disconnect TCM harness connector.
    4. Check harness continuity between EVAP control system pressure sensor terminal 1 and ECM terminal 67, TCM terminal 42.

      Refer to WIRING DIAGRAM .

      1. Continuity should exist. 
    5. Also check harness for short to ground and short to power.

    OK or NG 

    1. OK: GO TO  7.
    2. NG: GO TO 6.
  6. DETECT MALFUNCTIONING PART 

    Check the following.

    • Harness connectors B1, M14
    • Harness connectors M59, F27
    • Harness for open or short between EVAP control system pressure sensor and TCM
    • Harness for open or short between EVAP control system pressure sensor and ECM
      1. Repair open circuit or short to ground or short to power in harness or connectors.
  7. ECK EVAP CONTROL SYSTEM PRESSURE SENSOR INPUT SIGNAL CIRCUIT FOR OPEN AND SHORT 
    1. Check harness continuity between ECM terminal 32 and EVAP control system pressure sensor terminal 2.

      Refer to WIRING DIAGRAM .

      1. Continuity should exist. 
    2. Also check harness for short to ground and short to power.

    OK or NG 

    1. OK: GO TO  9.
    2. NG: GO TO 8.
  8. DETECT MALFUNCTIONING PART 

    Check the following.

    • Harness connectors B1, M14
    • Harness connectors M59, F27
    • Harness for open or short between ECM and EVAP control system pressure sensor
      1. Repair open circuit or short to ground or short to power in harness or connectors.
  9. CHECK EVAP CONTROL SYSTEM PRESSURE SENSOR 

    Refer to COMPONENT INSPECTION .

    OK or NG 

    1. OK: GO TO 10.
    2. NG: Replace EVAP control system pressure sensor.
  10. CHECK INTERMITTENT INCIDENT 

    Refer to TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS FOR INTERMITTENT INCIDENT .
