EVAP System Leak Test

CAUTION
The EVAP system must not be pressurized to more than 3.48 kPa (14 inches H2O) or the EVAP system may be damaged as a result.

  1. Connect the evaporative emission system leak tester (310-F007) to the evaporative emission test port.
  2. Close the canister vent solenoid.
  3. Pressurize the evaporative emission system to 3.48 kPa (14 inches H2O).
  4. Monitor the system for two minutes using the worldwide diagnostic system (418-F224), the New Generation STAR tester (418-F052), or an equivalent. The system fails the leak test if the pressure falls below 2.0 kPa (8 inches H2O).
  5. Repair any leaks as necessary.
  6. Repeat the leak test until the system remains above 2.0 kPa (8 inches H2O) after the two-minute test period.
