  1. Install a scan tool.
  2. Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF.
  3. With a scan tool, observe the Fuel Tank Level Remaining parameter in the engine control module (ECM)/powertrain control module (PCM) EVAP Data list.
Does the scan tool indicate that the Fuel Tank Level Remaining parameter is less than the specified value?
