(e) Check the vacuum at idle.
Vacuum:
Maintain at 0.368 ± 19.713 in.Hg (5 ± 268 in.Aq) for over
5 seconds
HINT:
If the vacuum does not change, you can conclude that the hose
connecting the VSV to the service port has come loose or is
blocked, or the VSV is malfunctioning.
(f) LEXUS Hand±Held Tester:
Conclude forced driving of the VSV for the EVAP.
(1) Stop the engine.
(2) Disconnect the LEXUS hand±held tester from the
DLC3.
(g) If you have no LEXUS Hand±Held Tester:
Conclude forced driving of the VSV for the EVAP.
(1) Stop the engine.
(2) Disconnect the positive (+) and negative (±) leads
from the battery from the VSV terminals for the
EVAP.
(3) Connect the VSV connector for the EVAP.
(h) Disconnect the vacuum gauge from the EVAP service
port on the purge line.
(i) Connect a pressure gauge to the EVAP service port on
the purge line.
(j) Check the pressure.
(1) Close off the air drain hose at the marked position
of the canister with a hose clipper or similar instru-
ment.
(2) Add the pressure (13.5 ± 15.5 in.Aq) from the EVAP
service port.
Pressure:
2 minutes after the pressure is added, the gauge
should be over 7.7 ± 8.8 in.Aq.
HINT:
If you can't add pressure, you can conclude that the hose con-
necting the VSV
canister
fuel tank has slipped off or the
VSV is open.

(3) Check if the pressure decreases when the fuel tank
cap is removed while adding pressure.
HINT:
If the pressure does not decrease when the filler cap is re-
moved, then you can conclude that the hose connecting the
service port to the fuel tank is blocked, etc.
(k) Disconnect the pressure gauge from the EVAP service
port on the purge line.
5. CHECK AIRTIGHTNESS IN FUEL TANK AND FILLER
PIPE
(a) Disconnect the EVAP line hose from the charcoal canister
side and then pressurize and make the internal pressure
in the fuel tank 4 kPa (41 gf/cm
2, 0.58 psi).
(b) Check that the internal pressure of the fuel tank can be
hold for 1 minute.
(c) Check the connected portions of each hose and pipe.
(d) Check the installed parts on the fuel tank.
If there is no abnormality, replace the fuel tank and filler pipe.
(e) Reconnect the EVAP line hose to the charcoal canister.
6. INSPECT FUEL CUTOFF VALVE AND FILL CHECK
VA LV E
(a) Disconnect the purge line hose and EVAP line hose from
the charcoal canister.
(b) Disconnect the air drain hose from the canister tank, and
plug its.
(c) Pressurize 4 kPa (41 gf/cm
2, 0.58 psi) to the purge port
and check that there is ventilation through the EVAP line
hose.
HINT:
In the condition that the fuel fuel is full, as the float value of the
fill check valve is closed and has no ventilation, it is necessary
to check the fuel amount (volume).
(d) Check if there is any struck in the vent line hose and EVAP
line hose.
If there is no stuck in hoses, replace the fuel cutoff valve and fill
check valve.
(e) Reconnect the purge line hose and EVAP line hose to the
charcoal canister.
(f) Reconnect the air drain hose to the canister tank.

COMPRESSION
INSPECTION
HINT:
If there is lack of power, excessive oil consumption or poor fuel
economy, measure the compression pressure.
1. WARM UP AND STOP ENGINE
Allow the engine to warm up to normal operating temperature.
2. REMOVE ENGINE COVER
Remove the 4 nuts and engine cover.
3. DISCONNECT IGNITION COILS AND HIGH±TENSION
CORD SET ASSEMBLY (See page IG±7)
4. REMOVE SPARK PLUGS
5. DISCONNECT INJECTOR CONNECTORS
6. CHECK CYLINDER COMPRESSION
(a) Insert a compression tester into the spark plug hole.
(b) While cranking the engine, measure the compression
pressure.
HINT:
Always use a fully charged battery to obtain engine revolutions
of 250 rpm or more.
(c) Repeat steps (a) through (b) for each cylinder.
NOTICE:
This measurement must be done in as short a time as pos-
sible.
Compression:
1,324 kPa (13.5 kgf/cm
2, 192 psi) or more
Minimum pressure:
1,079 kPa (11.0 kgf/cm
2, 156 psi)
Difference between each cylinder:
98 kPa (1.0 kgf/cm
2, 14 psi) or less
(d) If the cylinder compression in 1 or more cylinders is low,
pour a small amount of engine oil into the cylinder through
the spark plug hole and repeat steps (a) through (b) for
the cylinder with low compression.

If adding oil helps the compression, it is likely that
the piston rings and/or cylinder bore are probably
worn or damaged.

If pressure stays low, a valve may be sticking or
seating improper, or there may be leakage past the
gasket.
