Diagnosis Procedure

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2013 Infiniti FX50. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. CHECK EVAP CANISTER PURGE VOLUME CONTROL SOLENOID VALVE POWER SUPPLY CIRCUIT 
    1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
    2. Disconnect EVAP canister purge volume control solenoid valve harness connector.
    3. Turn ignition switch ON.
    4. Check the voltage between EVAP canister purge volume control solenoid valve harness connector and ground.

      Connector Terminal
      F7 1 Ground Battery voltage

      Is the inspection result normal? 

      YES: GO TO  3.

      NO: GO TO 2.

  2. DETECT MALFUNCTIONING PART 

    Check the following.

    • Harness connectors E106, M6
    • Harness connectors M116, F103
    • Harness for open or short between EVAP canister purge volume control solenoid valve and IPDM E/R
    • Harness for open or short between EVAP canister purge volume control solenoid valve and ECM

      : Repair open circuit, short to ground or short to power in harness or connectors.

  3. CHECK EVAP CANISTER PURGE VOLUME CONTROL SOLENOID VALVE OUTPUT SIGNAL CIRCUIT FOR OPEN AND SHORT 
    1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
    2. Disconnect ECM harness connector.
    3. Check the continuity between EVAP canister purge volume control solenoid valve harness connector and ECM harness connector.

    4. Also check harness for short to ground and short to power.

      Is the inspection result normal? 

      YES: GO TO 4.

      NO: Repair open circuit, short to ground or short to power in harness or connectors.

  4. CHECK EVAP CONTROL SYSTEM PRESSURE SENSOR CONNECTOR 
    1. Disconnect EVAP control system pressure sensor harness connector.
    2. Check that water is not inside connectors.

      Is the inspection result normal? 

      YES: GO TO 5.

      NO: Replace EVAP control system pressure sensor. Refer to "VK50VE: EXPLODED VIEW ".

  5. CHECK EVAP CONTROL SYSTEM PRESSURE SENSOR 

    Refer to "COMPONENT INSPECTION ".

    Is the inspection result normal? 

    YES-1: With CONSULT: GO TO 6.

    YES-2: Without CONSULT: GO TO  7.

    NO: Replace EVAP control system pressure sensor. Refer to "VK50VE: EXPLODED VIEW ".

  6. CHECK EVAP CANISTER PURGE VOLUME CONTROL SOLENOID VALVE 

    With CONSULT

    1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
    2. Reconnect harness connectors disconnected.
    3. Start engine.
    4. Perform "PURG VOL CONT/V" in "ACTIVE TEST" mode with CONSULT. Check that engine speed varies according to the valve opening.

      Does engine speed vary according to the valve opening? 

      YES: GO TO  8.

      NO: GO TO 7.

  7. CHECK EVAP CANISTER PURGE VOLUME CONTROL SOLENOID VALVE 

    Refer to "COMPONENT INSPECTION ".

    Is the inspection result normal? 

    YES: GO TO 8.

    NO: Replace EVAP canister purge volume control solenoid valve. Refer to "EXPLODED VIEW ".

  8. CHECK RUBBER TUBE FOR CLOGGING 
    1. Disconnect rubber tube connected to EVAP canister vent control valve.
    2. Check the rubber tube for clogging.

      Is the inspection result normal? 

      YES: GO TO 9.

      NO: Clean the rubber tube using an air blower.

  9. CHECK EVAP CANISTER VENT CONTROL VALVE 

    Refer to "COMPONENT INSPECTION ".

    Is the inspection result normal? 

    YES: GO TO 10.

    NO: Replace EVAP canister vent control valve. "VK50VE: EXPLODED VIEW ".

  10. CHECK IF EVAP CANISTER IS SATURATED WITH WATER 
    1. Remove EVAP canister with EVAP canister vent control valve and EVAP control system pressure sensor attached. Refer to "VK50VE: EXPLODED VIEW ".
    2. Check if water will drain from EVAP canister (1).
      • EVAP canister vent control valve (2)

      Does water drain from the EVAP canister? 

      YES: GO TO 11.

      NO: GO TO  13.

  11. CHECK EVAP CANISTER 

    Weigh the EVAP canister with the EVAP canister vent control valve and EVAP control system pressure sensor attached.

    The weight should be less than 2.1 kg (4.6 lb). 

    Is the inspection result normal? 

    YES: GO TO  13.

    NO: GO TO 12.

  12. DETECT MALFUNCTIONING PART 

    Check the following.

    • EVAP canister for damage
    • EVAP hose between EVAP canister and vehicle frame for clogging or poor connection

      : Repair hose or replace EVAP canister. Refer to "VK50VE: REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION ".

  13. CHECK INTERMITTENT INCIDENT 

    Refer to "INTERMITTENT INCIDENT ".
