Test Description

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 Oldsmobile Bravada, 2003 GMC Envoy XL, 2003 GMC Envoy, and 2003 Chevrolet TrailBlazer. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The numbers below refers to the step numbers in the diagnostic procedures.

  1. 3 -  This test verifies that the EVAP purge solenoid is electrically functional.
  2. 4 -  This test verifies that the EVAP vent solenoid is electrically functional.
  3. 9 -  Introducing smoke in 15 second intervals may allow smaller leak areas to be more noticeable. When the system is less pressurized, the smoke will sometimes escape in a more condensed manner.
  4. 11 -  This test verifies that the Fuel Tank Pressure (FTP) sensor is accurate. An FTP sensor that does not correctly respond to vacuum, or pressure may cause this DTC to set.
