(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) TOYOTA Hand-Held Tester:
Conclude forced driving of the VSV for the EVAP.
(1) Stop the engine.
(2) Disconnect the TOYOTA hand-held tester from the
DLC3.
(g) If you have no TOYOTA 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) Plug the cap to the air drain hose.
(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.

7. CHECK AIR INLET LINE
(a) Disconnect the air inlet line hose from the charcoal canis-
ter.
(b) Check that there is ventilation in the air inlet line.
(c) Reconnect the air inlet line hose to the charcoal canister.
8. REMOVE CHARCOAL CANISTER ASSEMBLY
(a) Disconnect the VSV connector for the pressure switching
valve.
(b) Disconnect the vapor pressure sensor connector.
(c) Disconnect the fuel hose from the vapor pressure sensor.
(d) Disconnect the purge line hose, EVAP line hose and air
inlet line hose from the charcoal canister.
(e) Disconnect the vent line hose from the charcoal canister.
(1) Push the connector deep inside.
(2) Pinch portion A.
(3) Pull out the connector.
(f) Remove the 2 charcoal canister mounting bolts.
(g) Remove the vapor pressure sensor mounting bolt.
(h) Remove the charcoal canister assembly.
9. INSPECT CHARCOAL CANISTER
(a) Visually check the charcoal canister for cracks or dam-
age.
(b) Inspect the charcoal canister operation.
(1) Plug the vent port with the cap.
(2) While holding the purge port closed, blow air (1.76
kPa, 18 gf/cm
2, 0.26 psi) into the EVAP port and
check that air flows from the air drain port.
