Circuit/System Verification

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2010 GMC Sierra and 2010 Chevrolet Silverado. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Ignition ON and fuel cap removed, verify that the Fuel Tank Pressure Sensor parameter is between 1.3-1.7 volts.
    • If not within the specified range, go to the fuel tank pressure sensor section in Circuit/System Testing.
  2. Install the fuel cap.
  3. With the engine running, the EVAP canister vent solenoid valve open, use a scan tool to command the EVAP canister purge solenoid valve to 100 percent. The fuel tank vacuum should not increase to more than -15 mmHg (-8 inches H2O).
    • If the fuel tank vacuum is greater than the specified range, go to the restriction section in Circuit/System Testing.
  4. Using the scan tool, decrease the canister purge duty cycle from 100 percent to 0 percent. The vacuum should decrease to near zero.
    • If the fuel tank vacuum does not return to zero or appears to decrease too slowly go to the restriction section in Circuit/System Testing.
  5. 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.
