The diagnosis will start once the above conditions have been fulfilled. If the diagnosis is interrupted then the speed must exceed 0 on one occasion before it is allowed to restart. The diagnosis continues then as follows: The shut-off valve is activated (closed) at the same time as any purging is interrupted for 4.5 sec. The tank pressure is observed, decreasing pressure reveals a leaking canister purge valve. Increasing pressure by more than 3 Pa/s indicates fuel evaporation, in these cases the diagnosis is repeated. If the pressure continues to rise by more than 3 Pa/s the diagnosis ceases. When the pressure increases less then 3 Pa/s Test 2 is complete.
