DTC Confirmation Test
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2002 Nissan Sentra. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE:
If DTC confirmation test has been previously performed, always turn ignition off and wait at least 10 seconds before performing the next test.
NOTE:
If fuel filler cap was removed, fuel tank was filled/drained or any EVAP control system parts were removed, wait at least one hour before performing DTC confirmation test.
NOTE:
Before proceeding, open hood, and ensure battery voltage is more than 11 volts at idle.
With CONSULT-II
- Turn ignition on. Select DATA MONITOR mode with CONSULT-II.
- Ensure the following conditions are met:
- FUEL LEVEL SE: 0.25-1.15 volts.
- COOLAN TEMP/S: 32-90°F (0-32°C).
- FUEL T/TMP SE: 32-95°F (0-35°C).
- INT A/TEMP SE: more than 32°F (0°C).
If all conditions are met, go to next step. If all conditions are not met, turn ignition off, and allow vehicle to cool. Or, drain/refill fuel until FUEL LEVEL SE indicates 0.25-1.15 volts. Wait at least one hour, then go to step 1 .
- Turn ignition off and wait at least 10 seconds. Turn ignition on. Select EVP V/S LEAK P0456/P1456 of EVAPORATIVE SYSTEM in DTC WORK SUPPORT mode with CONSULT- II. Follow instructions displayed.NOTE: If engine speed cannot be maintained within range displayed on CONSULT-II screen, perform BASIC INSPECTION. See ON-VEHICLE ADJUSTMENTS article.
- If OK is displayed on CONSULT-II, system is okay at this time. If NG is displayed, go to DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE .
NOTE:
Use the following test to check overall function of EVAP very small leak function. During this test, 1st trip DTC may not be confirmed.
CAUTION:
To avoid damage to EVAP system, do not use compressed air. Do not start engine. Do not exceed .6 psi (4.12 kPa).
With Generic Scan Tool
- Connect EVAP Service Port Adapter (J41413-OBD) to EVAP service port. See Figure . Connect a suitable pressure pump with hose and gauge to adapter.
- Turn ignition on. Using scan tool, select MODE 8 to close EVAP-CVCV and open vacuum cut valve bypass valve. Apply .39 psi (2.7 kPa) to EVAP system.
- Observe gauge for 60 seconds. If pressure drops more than .06 psi (.4 kPa), go to DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE . If pressure does not drop more than .06 psi (.4 kPa), go to next step.
- Disconnect scan tool. Start engine and warm to normal operating temperature. Turn ignition off and wait at least 10 seconds. Start engine and let it idle for 90 seconds.
- Hold engine speed at 2000 RPM for 30 seconds. Turn ignition off. For more information, refer to scan tool instruction manual.
