Evaporative System Leak Faults
- Ensure that fuel filler cap is secure (minimum three clicks).
- Ensure that fuel level is within the range of 15 > 85%.
- Ensure that normal "high range" gears are selected.
- Ensure that the ambient temperature signal is within the range of 0 > 40 °C (if not, a short drive may be necessary to overcome the filtering used in this signal).
- Ensure that any other DTCs have been rectified (especially if they relate to the purge valve or DMTL heater) and then clear them from the CM memory.
- Leave the vehicle to stand undisturbed for at least 3 hours in an environment with ambient temperature within the range of 0 > 40 °C and atmospheric pressure above 70 kPa.
- Start the engine and allow to idle for at least 10 minutes.
- Switch the engine off and remove the key from the ignition switch.
- Allow the vehicle to stand undisturbed for at least 10 minutes.
- Switch the ignition back on, wait for 10 seconds, check for DTCs.
- If a small leak fault is being investigated this drive cycle will need to be repeated (rough leak check is every drive cycle, small leak check is every other drive cycle).
