Circuit/System Testing
IMPORTANT:
- Larger volume fuel tanks and/or those with lower fuel levels may require several minutes for the floating indicator to stabilize or produce smoke from a leak.
- Refer to the GE 41413-A operation manual for detailed instructions in Evaporative Emission Control System Diagnosis .
- Disconnect the purge tube at the quick connector on the EVAP canister side of the purge solenoid valve and install the CH 48096 .
- Connect the GE 41413-A to the vehicle EVAP service port adapter.
- Command the EVAP Purge/Seal function to System Seal with a scan tool to seal the EVAP system.
- Verify that there is no leak in the EVAP system using the flow meter on the GE 41413-A
, calibrated to 0.51 mm (0.020 in)..
- If a leak is detected
- Apply smoke to the EVAP system at the service access port adapter with the GE 41413-A .
- Locate the leak using the GE 41413-SPT
- When the leak is located, repair or replace the affected component as necessary.
- If no leak detected NOTE: The steps below test for a restriction in the purge path.
- Connect the GE 41413-A nitrogen/smoke hose to the J 41413-311 .
- Disconnect the hose at the fuel cap end of the GE 41415-30 and connect to the J 41413-311 .
- Install the GE 41415-30 , filler neck end only, to the vehicle.
- Engine idling, command the Purge/Seal function to System Seal with a scan tool to seal the system.
- Command the EVAP Purge Solenoid Valve to 30% with a scan tool.
- Verify the vacuum/pressure gauge on the GE 41413-A
and the scan tool Fuel Tank Pressure Sensor parameter both show vacuum.
- If the vacuum/pressure gauge shows vacuum, but the FTP parameter does not show vacuum
Replace the B150 Fuel Tank Pressure Sensor.
- If neither the FTP parameter nor the vacuum/pressure gauge shows vacuum
Repair the restriction in the purge path.
- If the vacuum/pressure gauge shows vacuum, but the FTP parameter does not show vacuum
- Verify that the Fuel Tank Pressure Sensor parameter increases to greater than 3.2 V and the pressure values are similar between the scan tool Fuel Tank Pressure Sensor and the vacuum/pressure gauge on the GE 41413-A
.
- If not within the specified range
Replace the B150 Fuel Tank Pressure Sensor.
- If within the specified range
- If not within the specified range
- All OK
