change from opened to closed. If the reed switch
changes too quickly, a leak may be indicated. The
longer it takes the reed switch to change state, the
tighter the evaporative system is sealed. If the sys-
tem pressurizes too quickly, a restriction somewhere
in the EVAP system may be indicated.
PUMPING ACTION
Action : During portions of this test, the PCM uses
the reed switch to monitor diaphragm movement.
The solenoid is only turned on by the PCM after the
reed switch changes from open to closed, indicating
that the diaphragm has moved down. At other times
during the test, the PCM will rapidly cycle the LDP
solenoid on and off to quickly pressurize the system.
During rapid cycling, the diaphragm will not move
enough to change the reed switch state. In the state
of rapid cycling, the PCM will use a fixed time inter-
val to cycle the solenoid. If the system does not pass
the EVAP Leak Detection Test, the following DTCs
may be set:

MAY BE DIFFERENT BETWEEN MODELS.
SECTION 1 - P1495 Leak Detection Pump
Solenoid Circuit-When the ignition key is turned
to9ON9, the LDP diaphragm should be in the down
position and the LDP reed switch should be closed. If
the EVAP system has residual pressure, the LDP dia-
phragm may be up. This could result in the LDP reed
switch being open when the key is turned to9ON9
and a P1494 fault could be set because the PCM is
expecting the reed switch to be closed.
After the key is turned9ON9, the PCM immedi-
ately tests the LDP solenoid circuit for electrical
faults. If a fault is detected, DTC P1495 will set, the

MIL will illuminate, and the remaining EVAP Leak
Detection Test is canceled.
SECTION 2 - P1494 Leak Detection Pump
Switch or Mechanical Fault-If DTC P1495 is not
set, the PCM will check for DTC P1494. If the LDP
reed switch was closed when the key was turned to
9ON9, the PCM energizes the LDP solenoid for up to
8 seconds and monitors the LDP switch. As the LDP
diaphragm is pulled up by engine vacuum, the LDP
reed switch should change from closed to open. If it
does not, the PCM sets a temporary fault (P1494) in
memory, and waits until the next time the Enabling
Conditions are met to run the test again. If this is
again detected, P1494 is stored and the MIL is illu-
minated. If the problem is not detected during the
next enabling cycle, the temporary fault will be
cleared.
However, if the PCM detects the reed switch open
when the key is turned to9ON9, the PCM must deter-
mine if this condition is due to residual pressure in
the EVAP system, or an actual fault. The PCM stores
information in memory on EVAP system purging
from previous engine run or drive cycles.
If little or no purging took place, residual pressure
could be holding the LDP diaphragm up, causing the
LDP switch to be open. Since this is not a malfunc-
tion, the PCM cancels the EVAP Leak Detection Test
without setting the temporary fault.
If there was sufficient purging during the previous
cycle to eliminate EVAP system pressure, the PCM
judges that this is a malfunction and sets a tempo-
rary fault in memory. The next time that the
Enabling Conditions are met, the test will run again.
If the fault is again detected, the MIL will illuminate
and DTC P1494 will be stored. If the fault is not
detected, the temporary fault will be cleared.
SECTION 3 - P1486 EVAP Leak Monitor
Pinched Hose Found-If no fault has been detected
so far, the PCM begins testing for possible blockage
in the EVAP system between the LDP and the fuel
tank. This is done by monitoring the time required
for the LDP to pump air into the EVAP system dur-
ing two to three pump cycles. If no blockage is
present, the LDP diaphragm is able to quickly pump
air out of the LDP each time the PCM turns off the
LDP solenoid. If a blockage is present, the PCM
detects that the LDP takes longer to complete each
pump cycle. If the pump cycles take longer than
expected (approximately 6 to 10 seconds) the PCM
will suspect a blockage. On the next drive when
Enabling Conditions are met, the test will run again.
If blockage is again detected, P1486 is stored, and
the MIL is illuminated.
SECTION4-NoDTCCanBeSetDuring This
Time-After the LDP blockage tests are completed,
the PCM then tests for EVAP system leakage. First,the PCM commands the LDP to rapidly pump for 20
to 50 seconds (depending on fuel level) to build pres-
sure in the EVAP system. This evaluates the system
J18-24-0 to see if it can be sufficiently pressurized.
This evaluation (rapid pump cycling) may occur sev-
eral times prior to leak checking. The LDP reed
switch does not close and open during rapid pumping
because the diaphragm does not travel through its
full range during this part of the test.
SECTION 5 - P0456, P0442, P0455 EVAP Leak
Monitor and Leak Detected-Next, the PCM per-
forms one or more test cycles by monitoring the time
required for the LDP reed switch to close (diaphragm
to drop) after the LDP solenoid is turned off.
If the switch does not close, or closes after a long
delay, it means that the system does not have any
significant leakage and the EVAP Leak Detection
Test is complete.
However, if the LDP reed switch closes quickly,
there may be a leak or the fuel level may be low
enough that the LDP must pump more to finish pres-
surizing the EVAP system. In this case, the PCM will
rapidly pump the LDP again to build pressure in the
EVAP system, and follow that by monitoring the time
needed for several LDP test cycles. This process of
rapid pumping followed by several LDP test cycles
may repeat several times before the PCM judges that
a leak is present.
When leaks are present, the LDP test cycle time
will be inversely proportional to the size of the leak.
The larger the leak, the shorter the test cycle time.
The smaller the leak, the longer the test cycle time.
DTC's may be set when a leak as small as 0.5 mm
(0.0209) diameter is present.
If the system detects a leak, a temporary fault will
be stored in PCM memory. The time it takes to detect
a .020, .040, or Large leak is based on calibrations
that vary from model to model. The important point
to remember is if a leak is again detected on the next
EVAP Leak Detection Test, the MIL will illuminate
and a DTC will be stored based on the size of leak
detected. If no leak is detected during the next test,
the temporary fault will be cleared.
DIAGNOSTIC TIPS During diagnosis, you can
compare the LDP solenoid activity with the monitor
sequence in Figure 6. If the PCM detects a problem
that could set a DTC, the testing is halted and LDP
solenoid activity will stop. As each section of the test
begins, it indicates that the previous section passed
successfully. By watching to see which tests complete,
you can see if any conditions are present that the
PCM considers abnormal.
For example, if the LDP solenoid is energized for
the test cycles to test for blockage (P1486), it means
that the LDP has already passed its test for P1494.
Then, if the PCM detects a possible blockage, it will
