Circuit/System Testing
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2019 Chevrolet Malibu. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE:
- The pressure must not exceed 13 in H2O (0.5 PSI) as pressure in excess of this could cause system components to perform inaccurately. - Evaporative Emission (EVAP) System
- Before proceeding with this test, review the tool user manual for Safety Information and Instructions. - GE-41413-A / B Evaporative Emissions System Tester (EEST)
- 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.
- Make sure the underbody temperature of the vehicle and the tester temperature are similar.
- Disconnect the evaporative emission pipe quick connector. @ Q12 Evaporative Emission Purge Solenoid Valve
- Connect the special tool: CH-48096 EVAP Service Port Access Tool @ Evaporative Emission Canister Purge Tube
- Connect the special tool:GE-41413-A / B Evaporative Emissions System Tester (EEST) @ CH-48096 EVAP Service Port Access Tool
- Calibrate - GE-41413-A / B Evaporative Emissions System Tester (EEST) - Flow Meter = 0.51 mm (0.020 in)
- Perform the scan tool function:EVAP Purge/Seal - Not Venting
- Use the special tool:GE-41413-A / B Evaporative Emissions System Tester (EEST)
- Verify the tool reading:Flow Meter = Below:Floating Indicator
- Above:Floating Indicator
- Use the special tool:GE-41413-A / B Evaporative Emissions System Tester (EEST) Switch - Smoke
- Use the special tool:GE-41413-SPT High Intensity White Light - Inspect for Leaks
- If a leak is present
Repair or replace the components as necessary.
- Go to next step: If no leak is present
- If a leak is present
- Go to next step: Below:Floating Indicator
- All OK.
