EVAP LEAK CHECK
Work ProcedureINFOID:0000000009462869
CAUTION:
• Never use compressed air or a high pressure pump.
• Never exceed 4.12 kPa (0.042 kg/cm
2, 0.6 psi) of pressure in EVAP system.
NOTE:
• Do not start engine.
• Improper installation of EVAP service port adapter (com mercial service tool) to the EVAP service port may
cause a leakage.
WITH CONSULT
1. To locate the EVAP leakage, install EVAP service port adapter (commercial service tool) and pressure pump to EVAP service
port.
2. Turn ignition switch ON.
3. Select the “EVAP SYSTEM CLOSE” of “WORK SUPPORT MODE” with CONSULT.
4. Touch “START”. A bar graph (Pressure indicating display) will appear on the screen.
5. Apply positive pressure to the EVAP system until the pressure indicator reaches the middle of the bar graph.
6. Remove EVAP service port adapter (commercial service tool) and hose with pressure pump.
7. Locate the leakage using a leakage detector (commercial ser- vice tool). Refer to EC-580, "EVAPORATIVE EMISSION SYS-
TEM : System Description".
WITHOUT CONSULT
1. To locate the EVAP leakage, install EVAP service port adapter
(commercial service tool) and pressure pump to EVAP service
port.
2. Apply battery voltage between the terminals of EVAP canister vent control valve to ma ke a closed EVAP system.
3. To locate the leakage, deliver positive pressure to the EVAP sys- tem until pressure gauge points r each 1.38 to 2.76 kPa (0.014 to
0.028 kg/cm
2, 0.2 to 0.4 psi).
4. Remove EVAP service port adapter (commercial service tool) and hose with pressure pump.

Work ProcedureINFOID:0000000009462870
1.CHECK PCV VALVE
With engine running at idle, remove PCV valve from rocker cover. A
properly working valve makes a hissing noise as air passes through
it. A strong vacuum should be felt immediately when a finger is
placed over valve inlet.
Is the inspection result normal?
YES >> INSPECTION END
NO >> Replace PCV valve.
