On-Vehicle Inspection [08/2013 - ]: Procedure
- INSPECT FUEL CUT OPERATION
- Start the engine.
- Warm up the engine.
- Increase the engine speed to approximately 3500 rpm.
- Use a sound scope to check for fuel injector assembly operating sounds.
*1 Fuel Injector Assembly *a Sound Scope - When the accelerator pedal is released, check that fuel injector assembly operating sounds stop momentarily and then resume.
Standard
Item Specified Condition Fuel injection restart engine speed 1200 rpm If the result is not as specified, check the fuel injector assemblies, wiring and ECM.
- VISUALLY INSPECT HOSES, CONNECTIONS AND GASKETS
- Inspect the hoses and gaskets for scratches, cracks or air/oil leaks from the connecting parts.
HINT:
If the hoses or gaskets are damaged or some of the connections are loose, they may cause an engine stall or malfunction.
- Inspect the hoses and gaskets for scratches, cracks or air/oil leaks from the connecting parts.
- INSPECT EVAPORATIVE EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM
- Start the engine.
- Disconnect the No. 1 fuel vapor feed hose from the purge valve (purge VSV).
- Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
- Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Active Test / Activate the VSV for EVAP Control.
Powertrain > Engine > Active Test
Tester Display Activate the VSV for EVAP Control - Check that vacuum occurs at the purge valve (purge VSV) port.
- If vacuum does not occur, check the following items.
- Purge valve (purge VSV)
- Clogging in the No. 1 fuel vapor feed hose that connects the intake manifold and purge valve (purge VSV).
- Voltage from the ECM PRG terminal.
Refer to TERMINALS OF ECM [08/2013 - 08/2016] Refer to TERMINALS OF ECM [08/2016 - ]
- Exit Active Test mode and reconnect the No. 1 fuel vapor feed hose.
If the result is not as specified, replace the purge valve (purge VSV), wire harness or ECM.
- Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Data List / EVAP (Purge) VSV.
Powertrain > Engine > Data List
Tester Display EVAP (Purge) VSV - Warm up the engine and drive the vehicle.
- Confirm that the purge valve (purge VSV) opens.
If the result is not as specified, replace the purge valve (purge VSV), wire harness or ECM.
- Start the engine.
- CHECK FUEL TANK AND VENT LINE
- Disconnect the vent line hose from the canister (charcoal canister assembly).
- Connect a pressure gauge to the vent line hose.
*1 Fuel Tank Cap Assembly *2 Vent Line Hose *a Pressure Gauge - - - Apply 4 kPa (0.04 kgf/cm2
, 0.6 psi) of pressure to the vent line of the fuel tank assembly.
HINT:
Perform this inspection with the fuel tank assembly less than 90% full. When the fuel tank assembly is full, the fuel fill check valve closes and the pressure is released through the 2 mm (0.0787 in.)orifice. As a result, when the fuel tank cap assembly is removed, the pressure does not decrease smoothly.
- Check that the fuel tank assembly pressure is maintained for some time and does not decrease immediately.
HINT:
If the pressure decreases immediately, one of the following may apply:
- The fuel tank cap assembly is not completely tightened.
- The fuel tank cap assembly is damaged.
- Air is leaking from the vent line.
- The fuel tank assembly is damaged.
- When the fuel tank cap assembly is removed, check that the pressure is released smoothly.
If the pressure is not released smoothly, replace the fuel tank assembly.
- Reconnect the vent line hose to the canister (charcoal canister assembly).
- INSPECT AIR LINE
