Circuit/System Testing
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 8 other vehicles, including the 2011 GMC Yukon XL, 2011 GMC Yukon, 2011 Chevrolet Tahoe, 2011 Chevrolet Suburban, and 2011 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 evaporative emissions system tester operation manual for detailed instructions in Evaporative Emission System Diagnosis .
- Disconnect the purge tube at the quick connector on the EVAP canister side of the purge solenoid valve and install the CH-48096 service access port tool service port adapter tool. Connect the J-41413-200 evaporative emissions system tester to the vehicle EVAP service port adapter.
- Seal the system with a scan tool and use the flow meter on the J 41413-200 , calibrated to 0.51 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 evaporative emissions system tester to apply smoke to the EVAP system at the service port or the purge tube until the leak is located using the GE-41413-SPT high intensity white light.
- Connect the J-41413-200 evaporative emissions system tester nitrogen/smoke hose to the J-41413-311 EVAP Plug brass cone adapter. Disconnect the hose at the fuel cap end of the GE-41415-50 fuel tank cap adapter. Connect the J-41413-311 EVAP Plug to the disconnected hose on the GE-41415-50 fuel tank cap adapter. Install the GE-41415-50 fuel tank cap adapter filler neck end only to the vehicle.
- Engine idling, command Purge/Seal function to seal the system with a scan tool.
- Command the EVAP canister purge solenoid valve to 30 percent.
- The vacuum/pressure gauge on the J-41413-200
evaporative emissions system tester and the FTP parameter on the scan tool should display vacuum.
- If the vacuum/pressure gauge shows vacuum, but the FTP parameter does not show vacuum, replace the FTP sensor.
- If neither the FTP parameter nor the vacuum/pressure gauge shows vacuum, repair the restriction in the purge path.
- Verify that the vacuum increases to the abort limit on the scan tool, greater than 3.2 volts, and the values are similar between the scan tool and the vacuum/pressure gauge on the J-41413-200
evaporative emissions system tester.
- If the values are not similar, or the voltage did not reach 3.2 volts, replace the FTP sensor.
