Component Inspection
WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
■ Fuel Filler Cap Inspection
- Check fuel filler cap for being tightly installed, has o-ring seal installed and is in good condition.
- Verify cap releases pressure/vacuum at specified values
Specification: Approx. 2 psi pressure and approximately 1.5 inches of mercury vacuum.
- Are cap, o-ring and release pressures okay?
YES
- Thoroughly check fuel filler pipe for cracks, damage and o-ring seat for deformation and replace as necessary. Go to next step below.
NO
- Replace fuel filler cap and go to "VERIFICATION OF VEHICLE REPAIR " procedure.
■ Fuel Tank Pressure Sensor Inspection
- IG "ON" & Engine "OFF".
- Disconnect hose connecting FTPS to the Fuel Tank.
- Using a vacuum pump, apply vacuum to the hose connecting to FTPS.
- Measure FTPS output voltage between signal terminal of the FTPS harness connector and chassis ground.
Specification: Voltage increases proportionally with decreasing pressure.
Pressure (kPa) Out Voltage (V) -6.67 0.5 0 2.5 6.67 4.5 - Is voltage within the specification?
YES
- Check for poor connection between PCM and component: backed out terminal, improper mating, broken locks or poor terminal to wire connection. Repair as necessary and go to "VERIFICATION OF VEHICLE REPAIR " procedure.
- Check for cracks or damage in hose connecting canister and fuel pump. Repair or replace as necessary.
NO
- Check for open or short in FTPS harness. Repair as necessary. If OK, test with a new FTPS and check for proper operation. If problem is corrected, replace FTPS and go to "VERIFICATION OF VEHICLE REPAIR " procedure.
