Circuit/System Testing

NOTE:
  • Refer to the GE-41413-A  Evaporative emissions system tester (EEST) operation manual for detailed instructions in Evaporative Emission System Diagnosis .
  • Larger volume fuel tanks and/or those with lower fuel levels may require several minutes for the floating indicator to stabilize.
  • Ensure that the underbody temperature of the vehicle and the tester are similar.
  1. Disconnect the purge tube at the quick connector on the EVAP canister side of the purge solenoid valve and install the CH-48096  EVAP service access port tool . Connect the GE-41413-A  Evaporative emissions system tester (EEST) to the vehicle at the EVAP service port adapter.
  2. Using a scan tool, close the EVAP vent solenoid valve to seal the EVAP system.
  3. Use the flow meter on the GE-41413-A  Evaporative emissions system tester (EEST) , calibrated to 0.51 mm (0.020 in) to determine that there is no leak in the EVAP system.
    • If a leak is detected, use the GE-41413-A  Evaporative emissions system tester (EEST) to apply smoke to the EVAP system at the service port or the purge tube until the leak is located using the GE-41413-SPT  high intensity white light .
