INSPECTION PROCEDURE
NOTICE:
• When a vehicle is brought into the workshop, leave it as it is. Do not change the vehicle
condition. For example, do not tighten the fuel cap.
• Do not disassemble the canister pump module.

ENHANCED OBD II / DTC INFO / CURRENT CODES.
(e) Read DTCs.
(f) Select the following menu items: DIAGNOSIS /
ENHANCED OBD II / DATA LIST / EVAP / EVAP VAPOR

DTC SUMMARY
DESCRIPTION
The circuit description can be found in the EVAP (Evaporative Emission) System (See page ES-409).
INSPECTION PROCEDURE
Refer to the EVAP System (See page ES-412).
MONITOR DESCRIPTION
5 hours*1 after the ignition switch is turned off, the electric vacuum pump creates negative pressure
(vacuum) in the EVAP (Evaporative Emission) system. The ECM monitors for leaks and actuator
malfunctions based on the EVAP pressure.
HINT:
*1: If the engine coolant temperature is not below 35
C (95F) 5 hours after the ignition switch is turned
off, the monitor check starts 2 hours later. If it is still not below 35
C (95F) 7 hours after the ignition switch
is turned off, the monitor check starts 2.5 hours later.

measured at start and end of leak

determines that EVAP system
has a large leak.• Fuel tank cap (loose)

Sequence Operation Description Duration
- ECM activationActivated by soak timer, 5 hours (7 or 9.5 hours) after ignition switch is
turned off.-
AAtmospheric pressure
measurementVent valve is turned OFF (vent) and EVAP system pressure is
measured by ECM in order to register atmospheric pressure.
If pressure in EVAP system is not between 70 kPa and 110 kPa (525
mmHg and 825 mmHg), ECM cancels EVAP system monitor.10 seconds

*2: If only a small amount of fuel is in the fuel tank, it takes longer for the EVAP pressure to stabilize.
1. P0455: EVAP (Evaporative Emission) gross leak
In operation C, the vacuum pump creates negative pressure (vacuum) in the EVAP system and the
EVAP system pressure is measured. If the stabilized system pressure is higher than [second 0.02 inch
leak pressure standard x 0.2] (near atmospheric pressure), the ECM determines that the EVAP system
has a large leak, illuminates the MIL and sets the DTC (2 trip detection logic).
BFirst 0.02 inch leak pressure
measurementIn order to determine 0.02 inch leak pressure standard, vacuum pump
creates negative pressure (vacuum) through 0.02 inch orifice and then
ECM checks if vacuum pump and vent valve operate normally.60 seconds
CEVAP system pressure
measurementVent valve is turned ON (closed) to shut EVAP system.
Negative pressure (vacuum) is created in EVAP system, and EVAP
system pressure is then measured.
Write down measured value as it will be used in leak check.
If EVAP pressure does not stabilize within 15 minutes, ECM cancels
EVAP system monitor.15 minutes
*2
D Purge VSV monitorPurge VSV is opened and then EVAP system pressure is measured
by ECM.
Large increase indicates normal.10 seconds
ESecond 0.02 inch leak pressure
measurementAfter second 0.02 inch leak pressure measurement, leak check is
performed by comparing first and second 0.02 inch leak pressure
standards.
If stabilized system pressure is higher than second 0.02 inch leak
pressure standard, ECM determines that EVAP system is leaking.60 seconds
F Final checkAtmospheric pressure is measured and then monitoring result is
recorded by ECM.- Sequence Operation Description Duration

HINT:
Read freeze frame data using the intelligent tester. The ECM records vehicle and driving condition
information as freeze frame data the moment a DTC is stored. When troubleshooting, freeze frame data
can be helpful in determining whether the vehicle was running or stopped, whether the engine was
warmed up or not, whether the air-fuel ratio was lean or rich, as well as other data recorded at the time of
a malfunction.
