EVAP Leak Check Pressure Sensor (combine with BARO sensor) check
Reference: EVAP LEAK CHECK MODULE REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION
Check barometric pressure and reference vacuum pressure as follows.
- Initial (barometric) pressure check:
- Arrange 3 new 1.5 V batteries (1) in series and connect its positive terminal to terminal "4" for EVAP leak check pressure sensor of EVAP leak check module and negative terminal "2".
- Check EVAP leak check pressure sensor output voltage (barometric pressure signal voltage) between terminal "3" and "Ground" terminal.
If output voltage is out of specification, replace EVAP leak check module.
If output voltage is within specified value, go to next step.
CAUTION: Check to make sure that connection is made between correct terminals. Wrong connection can cause damage to EVAP leak check pressure sensor in EVAP leak check module.EVAP leak check pressure sensor output voltage for initial (barometric) pressure (Terminal "4" voltage 4.5 - 5.5 V, ambient temp. 20 - 30 °C (68 - 86 °F))

- Reference vacuum pressure (reference orifice vacuum) check:
- In the state of Step 1), operate EVAP leak detection pump by connecting 12 V-battery to terminal "1" and terminal "5" of EVAP leak check module. Under pump operating, check that pressure sensor output voltage (reference orifice vacuum) becomes lower than pressure sensor output voltage of Step 1) by approx. 0.1 V. If sensor voltage is out of specification, replace EVAP leak check module.
