Leakage Inspection
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2016 Mazda CX-5. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Perform the following tester (evaporative emission system tester (134-01049A)) self-test:NOTE:
- If the tester does not work correctly during self-test, refer to the tester operators service information for more detailed procedures.
- Verify that the gas cylinder valve is closed and the control valve located on the tester is in the TEST position. All tester displays should be off at this time.
- Connect the long hose (part of tester) to the tester.
- Connect the manifold assembly (part of tester) to the long hose as shown.
- Open the gas cylinder valve and verify the gas cylinder regulator left gauge reads 69-82 kPa {0.71-0.83 kgf/cm 2
, 10-12 psi}
(preset at factory).
- If not, refer to the tester operators service information to contact tester manufacturer.
- Press the ON/OFF switch to turn on the SST and make sure the left display reads 0.0.
- Turn the control valve on the tester to the FILL position.
- Verify the left display reading is within 13.9
to 14.0
in of water.
- If not, adjust the pressure using the regulator knob located on the right side of the tester.
- Turn the control valve to TEST position and press the START switch.
- After the 2-min
countdown (left display) is completed, the right display shows the total pressure loss for that period. A 0.5
in of water loss is acceptable on the self-test.
- If the loss is more than tester 0.5 in of water, do one or more self-test. If the failed test repeats, check for leak using the ultrasonic leak detector (part of tester).
- Press the RESET switch to set the left display reading to 0.0.
- Connect the fuel cap receiver assembly (part of tester) to the manifold assembly and fuel-filler cap from the vehicle.
- If the fuel-filler cap is not a genuine part, replace it.
- Turn the control valve to the FILL position.
- Wait (maximum 20 s
) until the left display reads 13.9
to 14.0
in of water.
- If the reading is slightly below the specification, adjust it using the regulator knob.
- If the reading is far below, the fuel-filler cap has a leak. Replace it.
- Turn the control valve to the TEST position and press the START switch.
- After the 2-min
countdown (left display) is completed, check the test result (the failed/passed light on the tester).
- If the green light turns on, the fuel-filler cap is normal.
- If the red light turns on, the fuel-filler cap has a leak. Replace it.
- Close the gas cylinder valve.
- Turn the control valve to the FILL position.
- Press the ON/OFF switch to turn off the tester.
