NOTE:
  • Refer to the GE-41413-A  operation manual for detailed instructions in Evaporative Emission Control System Diagnosis (LV7) .
  • 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.
  • Ensure that the underbody temperature of the vehicle and the tester are similar.

  2. Connect the GE-41413-A  to the CH-48096  .
  3. Command the EVAP Purge/Seal function to Not Venting or System Seal with a scan tool to seal the EVAP system.
  4. Use the flow meter on the GE-41413-A  calibrated to 0.51 mm (0.020 in) to determine if there is a leak.
    • If a leak is detected 
    1. Use the GE-41413-A  to apply smoke to the EVAP system at the purge tube service port until the leak is located using the GE-41413-SPT  .
      • If leak is detected, repair or replace the affected component as necessary.
