5. During current output tests please make sure that the
ammeter is securely connceted into the charge circuit.
6. Some battery powered timing lights can produce high
transient voltages when connected or disconnected. Onl
y
disconnect or connect timing lights when the engine is
switched off.
7. Make sure the warning lamp circuit is functioning normall
y
before commencing tests.
8. Battery isolation switches must only be operated when the
engine is stopped.
9. To protect the charging system when using 240 vol
t
chargers it is recommeneded that the battery is
disconnected whilst charging.
10. Due to the very low resistance value of the stator winding i
t
may not be possible to obtain accurate readings withou
t
special equipment.
11. 12 volts must never be connected to the "L" terminal of the
regulator as this will damage the lamp driver circuit.
12. No loads apart from the warning lamp can be connected to
the "L" termainal. The "W" terminal is provided for this
purpose.
Disassembly
1. Mark the relative positions of the end housings in relation to
the stator assembly to aid reassembly. Use a permanen
t
marking pen do not use centre punched as this can cause
misalignmnet of the housings.
2. Remove the EP regulator from the slipring end housing b
y
removing the two screws. Tilt the regulator slightly from the
plug connection until the regulator clears the housing, then
lift clear.
3. Remove the four through bolts.
4. Carefully remove the stator assembly along with the slipring
end housing taking care not to put strain on the stator wires.
5. To disconnect the stator from the rectifier assembly, grasp
the stator wires close to the wire loop with a pair of long
nosed pliers, heat the joint with a soldering iron, when the
point becomes plastic apply a slight twisting motion to the
wires, then pull upwards to release the wires. Remove the
stator.
This procedure opens the wire loop to release the stato
r
connections easily.
6. To remove the rectifier remove the three retaining scre
w
and the B+ terminal nut and washers.
Note: the B+ bolt and the positive heatsink retaining screw are
fitted with mica insulating washers.
These must be discarded and replaced with new washers and
heatsink compound.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION FOR
EVAPORATIVE EMISSION SYSTEM
EVAP Emission Control System Purpose
The basic evaporative emission control system used on
the charcoal canister storage method. The method
transfers fuel vapor from the fuel tank to an activated
carbon (charcoal) storage devise to hold the vapors
when the vehicle is not operating.
The canister is located on the rear ax le housing by the
frame cross-member.
When the engine is running, the fuel vapor is purged
from the carbon element by intake air flow and
consumed in the normal combustion process.
EVAP Emission Control System Operation
The EVAP canister purge is controlled by a solenoid
valve that allows the manifold vacuum to purge the
canister. The engine control module (ECM) supplies a
ground to energize the solenoid valve (purge on). The
EVAP purge solenoid control is pulse-width modulated
(PWM) (turned on and off several times a second). The
duty cycle (pulse width) is determined by engine
operating conditions including load, throttle position,
coolant temperature and ambient temperature. The duty
cycle is calculated by the ECM. the output is
commanded when the appropriate conditions have
been met. These conditions are:
The engine is fully warmed up.
The engine has been running for a specified time.
The IAT reading is above 10°C (50°F).
Purge/Vacuum Hoses. Made of rubber compounds,
these hoses route the gasoline fumes from their
sources to the canister and from the canister to the
intake air flow.
EVAP Canister. Mounted on a bracket ahead of the
fuel tank, the canister stores fuel vapors until the
ECM determined that engine conditions are right for
them to be removed and burned.
Poor idle, stalling and Poor driveability can be caused
by:
A malfunctioning purge solenoid.
A damaged canister.
Hoses that are split, cracked, or not connected
properly.
System Fault Detection
The EVAP leak detection strategy is based on applying
vacuum to the EVAP system and monitoring vacuum
decay. At an appropriate time, the EVAP purge solenoid
is turned “ON,” allowing the engine vacuum to draw a
small vacuum on the entire evaporative emission
system.
After the desired vacuum level has been achieved, the
EVAP purge solenoid is turned “OFF,” sealing the
system. A leak is detected by monitoring for a decrease
in vacuum level over a given time period, all other
variables remaining constant.
If the desired vacuum level cannot be achieved in the
test described above, a large leak or a faulty EVAP
purge control solenoid valve is indicated.
Leaks can be caused by the following conditions:
Missing or faulty fuel cap
Disconnected, damaged, pinched, or blocked EVAP
purge line
Disconnected, damaged, pinched, or blocked fuel
tank vapor line
Disconnected or faulty EVAP purge control solenoid
valve

The fuel injector(s).
4. Fuel pressure that drops off during acceleration,
cruise, or hard cornering may case a lean condition.
A lean condition can cause a loss of power, surging,
or misfire. A lean condition can be diagnosed using a
Tech 2 Scan Tool.
Following are applicable to the vehicle with
closed Loop System:
If an ex tremely lean condition occurs, the ox ygen
sensor(s) will stop toggling. The ox ygen sensor
output voltage(s) will drop below 500 mV. Also, the
fuel injector pulse width will increase.
Important: Make sure the fuel system is not
operating in the “Fuel Cut-Off Mode.”
When the engine is at idle, the manifold pressure is
low (high vacuum). This low pressure (high vacuum)
is applied to the fuel pressure regulator diaphragm.
The low pressure (high vacuum) will offset the
pressure being applied to the fuel pressure regulator
diaphragm by the spring inside the fuel pressure
regulator. When this happens, the result is lower fuel
pressure. The fuel pressure at idle will vary slightly
as the barometric pressure changes, but the fuel
pressure at idle should always be less than the fuel
pressure noted in step 2 with the engine OFF.
16.Check the spark plug associated with a particular
fuel injector for fouling or saturation in order to
determine if that particular fuel injector is leaking. If
checking the spark plug associated with a particular
fuel injector for fouling or saturation does not
determine that a particular fuel injector is leaking,
use the following procedure:
Remove the fuel rail, but leave the fuel lines and
injectors connected to the fuel rail. Refer to Fuel
Rail Assembly in On-Vehicle Service.
Lift the fuel rail just enough to leave the fuel
injector nozzles in the fuel injector ports.
Caution: In order to reduce the risk of fire and
personal injury that may result from fuel
spraying on the engine, verify that the fuel rail is
positioned over the fuel injector ports and verify
that the fuel injector retaining clips are intact.
Pressurize the fuel system by connecting a 20
amp fused jumper between B+ and the fuel
pump relay connector.
Visually and physically inspect the fuel
injector nozzles for leaks.
17.A rich condition may result from the fuel pressure
being above 376 kPa (55 psi). A rich condition may
cause a 45 to set. Driveability conditions associatedwith rich conditions can include hard starting
(followed by black smoke) and a strong sulfur smell
in the ex haust.
20.This test determines if the high fuel pressure is due
to a restricted fuel return line or if the high fuel
pressure is due to a faulty fuel pressure regulator.
21.A lean condition may result from fuel pressure below
333 kPa (48 psi). A lean condition may cause a 44 to
set. Driveability conditions associated with lean
conditions can include hard starting (when the
engine is cold), hesitation, poor driveability, lack of
power, surging, and misfiring.
22.Restricting the fuel return line causes the fuel
pressure to rise above the regulated fuel pressure.
Command the fuel pump ON with the scan tool. The
fuel pressure should rise above 376 kPa (55 psi) as
the fuel return line becomes partially closed.
NOTE: Do not allow the fuel pressure to exceed 414
kPa (60 psi). Fuel pressure in excess of 414 kPa (60
psi) may damage the fuel pressure regulator.
Caution: To reduce the risk of fire and personal
injury:
It is necessary to relieve fuel system pressure
before connecting a fuel pressure gauge.
Refer to Fuel Pressure Relief Procedure,
below.
A small amount of fuel may be released when
disconnecting the fuel lines. Cover fuel line
fittings with a shop towel before
disconnecting, to catch any fuel that may leak
out. Place the towel in an approved container
when the disconnect is completed.
Fuel Pressure Relief Procedure
1. Remove the fuel cap.
2. Located on the intake manifold which is at the top
right part of the engine.
3. Start the engine and allow it to stall.
4. Crank the engine for an additional 3 seconds.
