4.CHECKED FOR OTHER BLOCKED HOSES
To continue testing you will need Miller Tool #6872A (Evap System PressurePump) and #8382 (Gas Cap Tester [
]Adapter).
WARNING: The test equipment is designed to be used to pressurize the vehicles Evaporative System only.
Using the equipment in a manner for which it was not designed could be harmful.
WARNING: Keep lit cigarettes, sparks, flames, and other ignition sourcesaway from the test area to prevent
the ignition of explosive gases. Keep the test area well ventilated.
NOTE: The fuel tank should have between 20% and 80% of full to properly test the Evap System.
Attach the power source clip (red) of Miller Tool #6872A to Battery (+) and the ground clip (black) to Battery (-).
Perform the Evaporative System Pressure Pump self test that is specified on the tester cover.

8.LDP MONITOR TEST
At this time, the conditions required to set the DTC are not present.
NOTE: Use the Freeze Frame data to help you duplicate the conditions that set the DTC. Pay particular
attention to the DTC setconditions, such as, VSS, MAP, ECT, and Load.
NOTE: A thorough visual inspection of the Evap system hoses, tubes, and connections may save time in
you diagnosis. Look for any physical damage or signs of wetness at connections. The strong smell of fuel
vapors may aid diagnosis also.
NOTE: Refer to any Service Bulletins that may apply
With the scan tool, perform the LDP Monitor Test. This will force the PCM to run the LDP Monitor. If the monitor
fails, further diagnosis is required to find a faulty component. If the monitor passes, the condition is not present at
this time.
Did the monitor test fail?
Ye s>>
Check the one trip faults to determine the DTC that was set during the LDP monitor test. Continue
diagnosis as necessary.
