Circuit/System Verification
WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
WARNING:
Refer to: Fuel and Evaporative Emission Pipe Warning .
CAUTION:
Refer to: Clean, Dry, Low Pressure Gas Source Caution .
- Verify the following conditions do not exist:
- {If equipped} G58 Evaporative Emission Purge Pump - Disconnected/Incorrect connection/Leaking/Loose/Visible Damage
- Q12 Evaporative Emission Purge Solenoid Valve - Disconnected/Incorrect connection/Leaking/Loose/Visible Damage
- Q13 Evaporative Emission Vent Solenoid Valve - Disconnected/Incorrect connection/Leaking/Loose/Visible Damage
- Evaporative Emission Canister - Disconnected/Incorrect connection/Leaking/Visible Damage
- Evaporative Emission Hose & Evaporative Emission Pipe - Defective/Disconnected/Incorrect connection/Kinked/Leaking/Loose/Restricted/Visible Damage
- {Cap Type Fuel Fill} Fuel Tank Filler Cap - Defective/Leaking/Loose/Missing/Visible Damage
- {Capless Type Fuel Fill} Door @ Fuel Tank Filler Pipe - Defective/Leaking/Loose/Visible Damage
- If a condition exists
Repair or replace as necessary
- Go to next step: If no condition exists
- If a condition exists
- Before proceeding with this test, review the tool user manual for Safety Information and Instructions: GE-41413-A/B Evaporative Emissions System Tester (EEST)
- The user manual that is supplied with the tool, is also available online, refer to: GM Special Service Tools
- Make sure the underbody temperature of the vehicle and the tester temperature are similar.
- Completely unwind the nitrogen/smoke hose from the bracket to optimize the tester's performance.
- Perform the following action:
- Install - Hose @ Test Orifice - 0.51 mm (0.020 in) @ GE-41413-A/B Evaporative Emissions System Tester (EEST)
- Select - Nitrogen @ GE-41413-A/B Evaporative Emissions System Tester (EEST)
- Press and release the switch: Remote Switch @ GE-41413-A/B Evaporative Emissions System Tester (EEST) - Special Tool = On or Activated
- Align - Sliding Red Flag @ Floating Indicator
- Press and release the switch: Remote Switch @ GE-41413-A/B Evaporative Emissions System Tester (EEST) - Special Tool = Off or Deactivated
- Remove - Hose @ Test Orifice
- Disconnect the component: Evaporative Emission Canister Purge Tube @ Q12 Evaporative Emission Purge Solenoid Valve
- Install - CH-52519 EVAP Service Port Access Tool - Between: Evaporative Emission Canister Purge Tube & Q12 Evaporative Emission Purge Solenoid Valve
- Install - GE-41413-A/B Evaporative Emissions System Tester (EEST) - Hose @ CH-52519 EVAP Service Port Access Tool
- Ignition - On/Vehicle - In Service Mode
- Perform the scan tool function: EVAP Vent Solenoid Valve - Not Venting
- The pressure must not exceed 13 in H2O (0.5 PSI) as pressure in excess of this could cause system components to perform inaccurately.
- 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.
- Press and release the switch: Remote Switch @ GE-41413-A/B Evaporative Emissions System Tester (EEST) - Special Tool = On or Activated
Verify the tool reading: Floating Indicator = Below: Sliding Red Flag
- If not below the Sliding Red Flag
- Press and release the switch: Remote Switch @ GE-41413-A/B Evaporative Emissions System Tester (EEST) - Special Tool = Off or Deactivated
- Select - Smoke @ GE-41413-A/B Evaporative Emissions System Tester (EEST)
- When injecting smoke in to the system, remove the fuel fill cap or temporarily leave the EVAP vent valve open, until smoke is observed. Then close the system.
- Verify smoke has filled the system by opening the system opposite the end where smoke is injected.
- To help locate intermittent leaks move related components while applying smoke to the system.
- Press and release the switch: Remote Switch @ GE-41413-A/B Evaporative Emissions System Tester (EEST) - Special Tool = On or Activated
- Use the special tool: GE-41413-SPT High Intensity White Light - Illuminate the area(s) of concern - Evaporative Emission (EVAP) System
Verify the condition does not exist: Smoke exiting the system
- If a condition exists - Repair or replace as necessary
- Go to next step: If no condition exists
- Repeat the procedure starting at step 1
NOTE:- Go to next step: If below the Sliding Red Flag
- Operate the vehicle within the Conditions for Running the DTC. You may also operate the vehicle within the conditions that you observed from the Freeze Frame/Failure Records data.
Verify the DTC does not set.
- If the DTC sets
Repeat the procedure starting at step 1
- Go to next step: If the DTC does not set
- If the DTC sets
- All OK.
NOTE:
NOTE:
To help with installing the tool, the fasteners from the component bracket may need to be removed: G58 Evaporative Emission Canister Purge Pump
