System Leak Inspection - Using Vacuum Pump
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 Mazda Protege5, 2003 Mazda Protege, 2003 Mazda MX-5 Miata, 2003 Mazda MPV, and 2003 Mazda 6. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
Whole System Inspection
- Disconnect vacuum hose between purge solenoid valve and catch tank from purge solenoid valve. See Figure.
- Connect hose on vacuum pump.
- Connect scan tool to DLC-2.
- Turn ignition on, engine off.
- Using scan tool, close Canister Drain Cut Valve (CDCV) using ON BOARD DEVICE CONTROL function.NOTE: CDCV is closed for 10 minutes unless any of following actions is done:
- Engine is started.
- Ignition is turned off.
- Fuel Tank Pressure (FTP) sensor signal exceeds 1.9 in. Hg (6.43 kPa).
- Apply 1.7 kPa vacuum and monitor FTP output voltage.
- Verify voltage holds at specified readings for a minimum of 2 minutes.
- If voltage does not hold, inspect fuel tank pressure sensor.
- If FTP sensor is okay, perform "Inspection From Charcoal Canister To Fuel Tank".
Inspection From Charcoal Canister To Fuel Tank
- Check for loose and incorrectly installed hoses between charcoal canister and fuel tank. See Figure, Figure & Figure .
- Disconnect vacuum hose between charcoal canister and fuel tank from charcoal canister.
- Connect hose to vacuum pump.
- Apply 1.7 kPa vacuum.
- Verify that vacuum holds at specified readings for a minimum of 2 minutes.
- If vacuum does not hold, check fuel tank, related vacuum hoses and fuel-filler cap.
- If fuel tank, related vacuum hoses and fuel-filler cap are okay, perform "Inspection From Charcoal Canister To Purge Solenoid Valve".
Inspection From Charcoal Canister To Purge Solenoid Valve
- Check for loose and incorrectly installed hoses between charcoal canister and purge solenoid valve. See Figure-Figure .
- Disconnect vacuum hose between charcoal canister and catch tank from charcoal canister.
- Connect hose to vacuum pump.
- Apply 1.0 in. Hg vacuum. Vacuum should hold at specified reading for a minimum of 2 minutes. If vacuum does not hold, inspect following:
- Catch tank for plugging, damage and pinhole using vacuum pump.
- Purge solenoid valve. See PURGE SOLENOID VALVE .
- Charcoal canister for damage and pinhole. See CHARCOAL CANISTER .
- CDCV for damage and leakage. See CANISTER DRAIN CUT VALVE (CDCV) .
- Disconnect incorrectly installed or cracked hose from charcoal canister to CDCV.
