Ground circuits.
If there are no possible causes remaining, view repair.
Repair
Replace and program the Powertrain Control Module per Service Information.
Perform POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. (Refer to 9 - ENGINE - STANDARD PROCEDURE)

When Monitored:
Immediately after a cold start, with battery/ambient temperature between 40 deg. F and 90 Deg. F and coolant
temperature within 10 Deg. F of battery/ambient.
Set Condition:
LDP test must pass first. If the PCM suspects a pinched hose it will not set a fault until it runs the EVAP purge
flow monitor. If the purge monitor does not pass then the pinched hose faultwill be set.
Possible Causes
EVAP CANISTER OBSTRUCTED
OBSTRUCTION IN HOSE/TUBE BETWEEN EVAP CANISTER AND PURGE SOLENOID
LDP PRESSURE HOSE OBSTRUCTED
LEAK DETECTION PUMP
Always perform the Pre-Diagnostic Troubleshooting procedure before proceeding. (Refer to 9 - ENGINE -
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING)
Diagnostic Test
1.VEHICLE HISTORY AND SERVICE BULLETIN INVESTIGATION
Ignition on, engine not running.
With a scan tool, read DTCs and record the related Freeze Frame data if any DTC(s) are present.
Whether or not any DTC(s) are present you will want to check the following items which may assist in repairing the
customer’s complaint successfully.
Check the vehicles repair history.
If the vehicle has a repair history that pertains to the customer’s currentcomplaint, review the repair.
Inspect the vehicle for any aftermarket accessories that may have been installed incorrectly.
Check for any service bulletin(s) related to the customer’s complaint or DTC(s).
If a service bulletin applies, follow the instructions per the service bulletin.
Choose the following scenario that best applies.
The service bulletin repaired the customer’s complaint.
Testing complete.
A DTC is present, no service bulletins apply, or the service bulletin didn’t repair the customer’s complaint.

NOTE: Reconnect the vacuum line before continuing.
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.
Remove gas cap and install Miller Tool #8382 on the vehicle. Install gas capto Miller Tool #8382. Attach the pres-
sure supply hose from Miller Tool #6872A to the fitting on #8382.
Disconnect the vacuum supply hose at the Leak Detection Pump.
Connect and apply a continuous vacuum supply (i.e. 20”Hg) to the Leak Detection Pump. A vacuum pump such as
an A/C Recovery unit works well.
Ignition on, engine not running.
With the scan tool perform the “Leak Detect Pump Test”. Follow the scan toolinstructions and then press ENTER.
Select#3–HOLDPSI.
On Miller Tool #6872A, set the Pressure/Hold switch to Open and set the Ventswitch to Closed. Turn the pump
timer On and watch the gauge.
When the gauge pressure reaches 14”H2O, turn the Pressure/Hold Valve to Closed.
Turn the pump timer off.
Disconnect the hose at the Evap Canister that goes to the Fuel Tank.
Did the pressure drop when the hose was disconnected?

No>>
Repair the obstruction in the Evap System between the Evap Canister and thefuel tank.
Perform POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. (Refer to 9 - ENGINE - STANDARD PROCEDURE)
5.EVAP CANISTER FUNCTION
NOTE: Connect all previously disconnected hoses.
Re-pressurize the Evap System. On Miller Tool #6872A, set the Pressure/Hold switch to Open and set the Vent
switch to Closed.
Turn the pump timer On and watch the gauge.
When the gauge pressure reaches 14” H2O, turn the Pressure/Hold Valve Closed.
Turn the pump timer off.
