SPECIAL TOOL(S)
| Worldwide Diagnostic System (WDS) Vehicle Communication Module (VCM) with appropriate adapters, or equivalent diagnostic tool |
CAUTION:
The canister vent solenoid must not be energized for more than nine minutes at one time. Once the canister vent solenoid is energized and de-energized, adequate time must be allowed for the component to cool adequately. Failure to allow the component to cool may create a false failure in the diagnostics, causing unnecessary repairs.
- Connect the diagnostic tool and select the output test mode.
- If parameter identification (PID) monitors are not active, select PIDs.
- Select the fuel tank pressure (FTP) and the volts (V) PID for monitoring.
- Select the ALL OFF mode.
- Close the canister vent solenoid by pushing the START button on the diagnostic tool.
