Circuit/System Testing
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 8 other vehicles, including the 2012 GMC Yukon XL, 2012 GMC Yukon, 2012 Chevrolet Tahoe, 2012 Chevrolet Suburban, and 2012 Chevrolet Avalanche. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE:
Perform the Circuit/System Verification before proceeding with the Circuit/System Testing.
Restriction
- With the engine running, the EVAP vent solenoid valve open, and the EVAP purge solenoid valve commanded to 100 %, the fuel tank vacuum should not increase to greater than -15 mm Hg (-8 in H2O).
- If greater than the specified value, isolate the restriction by disconnecting one component at a time while the EVAP purge solenoid valve is commanded to 100 % and the vent valve is open.
- Using the scan tool decrease the canister purge duty cycle from 100 % to 0 %. The vacuum should decrease to near zero.
- If not the specified value or appears to decrease too slowly, inspect the components in the EVAP vent system for a restriction.
Fuel Tank Pressure Sensor
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the B150 Fuel Tank Pressure Sensor.
- Ignition OFF, all vehicle systems OFF, this may take up to 2 min, test for less than 5 Ω between the low reference circuit terminal and ground.
- If greater than the specified range, test the low reference circuit for an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the B150 Fuel Tank Pressure Sensor.
