is executed by the individual components of the enhanced EVAP system. Intake manifold vacuum is
utilized to reach a target vacuum on the EVAP system. The FTP sensor is used by the engine ON EVAP
leak-check monitor to determine if the target vacuum necessary to carry out the leak-check on the EVAP
system has been reached. Once target vacuum on the EVAP system is achieved, the change in EVAP
system vacuum over a calibrated period of time determines if a leak exists.
The Engine Off Natural Vacuum (EONV) EVAP leak-check monitor is executed:
once the engine ON EVAP leak-check monitor is completed and the key is turned OFF. The EONV
EVAP leak-check monitor determines if a leak is present when the naturally occurring change in the fuel
tank pressure or vacuum does not exceed a calibrated limit during a calibrated amount of time. A
separate, low-power consuming microprocessor in the PCM manages the EONV leak-check. The engine
OFF EVAP leak-check monitor is executed by the individual components of the enhanced EVAP system.

GENERAL PROCEDURES
EVAPORATIVE EMISSION SYSTEM LEAK TEST
Special Tools
Illustration Tool Name Tool Number
NOTE: Some small leaks may not be detected using the EVAP Test. If the system
has passed the test but a leak is still suspected, then proceed to Phase 2.
2. If the Evaporative Emission (EVAP) system failed the EVAP Test, then proceed to Phase 2.
1. Disconnect the upper vapor tube-to-EVAP canister purge valve quick connect coupling. For additional
information, refer to FUEL SYSTEM - GENERAL INFORMATION article.
2. Connect the VACUTEC Smoke Machine Fuel Evaporative Emission System Tester to the upper EVAP
canister purge valve fitting. For additional information, refer to the manufacturer's instructions.
NOTE: The battery ground cable was previously disconnected in the vapor tube
quick connect coupling procedure.
3. Connect the battery ground cable. For additional information, refer to BATTERY, MOUNTING AND
CABLES article.
NOTE: In the scan tool, the EVAP canister purge valve is referred to as the EVAP
vapor management valve.
4. Open the EVAP canister purge valve with the scan tool.
5. Close the canister vent solenoid with the scan tool.
6. Carefully turn the fuel tank filler cap counterclockwise until the thread disengages and position aside.
NOTE: If smoke does not exit the fuel tank filler pipe neck area after the system is
pressurized, open the canister vent solenoid with the scan tool to allow
the air to purge. Once smoke is seen at the canister vent solenoid, close
the canister vent solenoid with the scan tool.
7. Introduce smoke from the VACUTEC Smoke Machine Fuel Evaporative Emission System Tester into the
EVAP system and verify that smoke is exiting the fuel tank filler pipe neck area. For additional
information, refer to the manufacturer's instructions.
8. Install the fuel tank filler cap once smoke is observed exiting the fuel tank filler pipe neck area.

9. Continue to enter smoke into the system for 60 seconds to obtain pressure.
10. Press and release the remote start button in intervals of 15 seconds ON and 15 seconds OFF while
checking for exiting smoke.
11. Use the halogen light provided with the VACUTEC Smoke Machine Fuel Evaporative Emission System
Tester to follow the EVAP system path and look for smoke exiting at the source of the leak(s).
12. Repair any leaks as necessary.
13. Repeat the leak test until the system passes.

1. Disconnect the evaporative emission (EVAP) canister purge valve electrical connector.
2. Disconnect the 2 EVAP canister purge valve vapor tube quick connect couplings. For additional
information, refer to FUEL SYSTEM - GENERAL INFORMATION article.
3. Depress the tab and remove the EVAP canister purge valve from the bracket.
