- Ignition OFF, open the hood to disable the Auto-Stop function. Refer to Hybrid Modes of Operation Description .
- Ignition ON, verify the scan tool hood position parameter displays Open.
- If the hood position does not display Open, refer to Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) List - Vehicle for DTC P254F.
- 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 below.
- Install the fuel cap.
- 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 below.
- 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 below.
- 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.
