Circuit/System Testing
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2012 GMC Yukon, 2012 Chevrolet Tahoe, and 2012 Cadillac Escalade. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE:
- Refer to the GE 41413-A Evaporative Emissions System Tester (EEST) operation manual for detailed instructions in Evaporative Emission System Diagnosis .
- Larger volume fuel tanks and/or those with lower fuel levels may require several minutes for the floating indicator to stabilize or produce smoke from a leak.
- The fuel level should be between 1/4 and 3/4 of a tank.
- Ensure that the underbody temperature of the vehicle and the tester are similar.
- Disconnect the purge tube at the quick connector on the EVAP canister side of the Q12 evaporative emission purge solenoid valve and install the CH 48096 EVAP Service Access Port Tool.
- Connect the GE 41413-A Evaporative Emissions System Tester (EEST) to the vehicle at the CH 48096 EVAP Service Access Port Tool.
- Using a scan tool close the EVAP vent solenoid valve to seal the EVAP system.
- Use the flow meter on the GE 41413-A
Evaporative Emissions System Tester (EEST), calibrated to 0.51 mm (0.020 in) to determine that there is no leak in the EVAP system.
- If a leak is detected, use the GE 41413-A Evaporative Emissions System Tester (EEST) 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.
