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.
- Disconnect the purge tube at the quick connector on the EVAP canister side of the Q12 evaporative emission purge solenoid valve and install the CH 48096 Port Tool.
- Connect the GE 41413-A EEST to the CH 48096 Port Tool.
- Ignition ON, using a scan tool close the EVAP vent solenoid valve to seal the EVAP system.
- Use the flow meter on the GE 41413-A
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 EEST to apply smoke to the EVAP system at the purge tube until the leak is located using the J 41413-SPT White Light.
