Test Description

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2006 Suzuki Reno and 2006 Suzuki Forenza. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Number(s) below refer to the step number(s) on the Diagnostic Table.

  1. The On-Board Diagnostic (OBD II) System Check prompts the technician to complete some basic checks and to store the Freeze Frame and Failure Records data on the scan tool if applicable. This creates an electronic copy of the data taken when the malfunction occurred. The information is then stored on the scan tool for later reference.
  2. If a vent solenoid electrical malfunction is present, the purge system will not operate correctly.
  3. Checks the fuel tank pressure sensor at ambient pressure.
  4. Verifies that the fuel tank pressure sensor accurately reacts to EVAP system pressure changes.
  5. Checks for a blocked EVAP canister.
  6. Duplicates the OBD II diagnostic test.
