Circuit/System Testing
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 8 other vehicles, including the 2008 GMC Yukon XL, 2008 GMC Yukon, 2008 Chevrolet Tahoe, 2008 Chevrolet Suburban, and 2008 Chevrolet Avalanche. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
IMPORTANT:
- Larger volume fuel tanks and/or those with lower fuel levels may require several minutes for the floating indicator to stabilize.
- Refer to the J 41413-200 operation manual for detailed instructions in Evaporative Emission System Diagnosis .
- Connect the J 41413-200 to the vehicle EVAP service port. See Special Tools . For vehicles without a service port, disconnect the purge tube at the quick connector on the EVAP canister side of the purge solenoid valve and install the CH-48096 . See Special Tools .
- Use a scan tool to seal the EVAP system.
- Use the flow meter on the J 41413-200
, calibrated to 0. See Special Tools
.51 millimeter (0.020 inch) to determine that there is no leak in the EVAP system.
- If a leak is detected, use the J 41413-200 to apply smoke to the EVAP system at the service port or the purge tube until the leak is located using the J 41413-SPT . See Special Tools .
- To test for a restriction in the purge path, connect the J 41413-200 nitrogen/smoke hose to the J 41413-311 brass cone adapter. Disconnect the hose at the fuel cap end of the GE-41415-50 . See Special Tools . Connect the J 41413-311 to the disconnected hose on the GE-41415-50 . See Special Tools . Install the GE-41415-50 filler neck end only to the vehicle. See Special Tools .
- Allow the engine to idle.
- Use the Purge/Seal function to seal the system with a scan tool.
- Command the EVAP canister purge solenoid valve to 30 percent.
- The vacuum/pressure gage on the J 41413-200
and the FTP parameter on the scan tool should both show vacuum. See Special Tools
.
- If the vacuum/pressure gage shows vacuum, but the FTP parameter does not show vacuum, replace the FTP sensor.
- If neither the FTP parameter nor the vacuum/pressure gage shows vacuum, repair the restriction in the purge path. Refer to Evaporative Emissions Hose Routing Diagram .
- Verify that the vacuum increases to the abort limit on the scan tool or more than 3.2 volts, and the values are similar between the scan tool and the vacuum/pressure gage on the J 41413-200
. See Special Tools
.
- If the values are not similar, or the voltage did not reach 3.2 volts, replace the FTP sensor.
