Water Sprinkling Method
If malfunction occurs only during high humidity or rain/snowy weather, perform the following steps.
| CAUTION | Indirectly change the temperature and humidity by spraying water onto the front of then radiator. If a vehicle is subject to water leakage, the leakage may damage the control module. When testing a vehicle with a water leakage problem, special caution must be used. |
Scheme 242
- Connect WDS or equivalent to DLC-2 if you are inspecting sensors or switches.
- Turn ignition key to ON (Engine OFF) NOTE: If engine starts and runs, perform the following steps at idle.
- Access PIDs for sensor or switch if you are inspecting sensors or switches.
- If you are inspecting the switch, turn it on manually.
- Spray water onto the vehicle or run it through a car wash. If PID value is unstable or malfunction occurs, repair or replace part as necessary.

Input Signal System Investigation Procedure
- Find an unusual signal. (See «Finding unusual signals»(ref-178039-S41193687292005061000000) .)
- Locate its source. (See «Locating the source of unusual signals.)»(ref-178039-S35917777292005061000000)
- Repair or replace the defective part.
- Confirm that the unusual signal has been erased.
Finding unusual signals
While referring to ON-BOARD DIAGNOSTIC TEST , use the PID/DATA monitor and record function to inspect the input signal system relating to the problem.
- Start the engine and idle the vehicle. You can assume that any signals that are out of specifications by a wide margin are unusual.
- When recreating the problem, any sudden change in monitor input signals that is not consciously created by the driver can be judged as unusual.
Locating the Source of unusual signals.
| CAUTION | Compare the WDS or equivalent monitor voltage with the measurement voltage using the digital measurement system function. If you use another tester, misreading may occur. When measuring voltage, attach the tester GND to the GND of the PCM that is being tested, or to the engine itself. If this is not done, the measured voltage and actual voltage may differ. After connecting the pin to a waterproof coupler, confirming continuity and measuring the voltage, inspect the waterproof connector for cracks. If there are any, use sealant to fix them. Failure to do this may result in deterioration of the harness or terminal from water damage, leading to problems with the vehicle. |

- Perform the following SST (Evaporative Emission System Tester 134-01049) self-test: NOTE: If the tester does not work correctly during self-test, refer to the tester operators manual for more detailed self test procedures. Verify the gas cylinder valve is closed and the control valve located on the tester is in the TEST position. All tester displays should be off at this time. Connect the long hose (part of SST) to the tester. Connect the manifold assembly (part of SST) to the long hose as shown. Open the gas cylinder valve and verify the gas cylinder regulator left gauge reads 10 to 12 psi (preset at factory) If not, refer to the tester operators manual to contact tester manufacturer. Press the ON/OFF switch to turn on the SST and make sure the left display reads 0.0 . Turn the control valve on the tester to the FILL position. Verify the left display reading is within 13.9 to 14.0 inches of water. If not, adjust the pressure using the regulator knob located on the right side of the tester. Turn the control valve to TEST position and press the START switch. After the 2-minute countdown (left display) is completed, the right display shows the total pressure loss for that period. A 0.5-inch of water, loss is acceptable on the self-test If the loss is 0.5-inch of water, do one or more self-test. If the failed test repeats, check for leak using the ultrasonic leak detector (part of SST ).
- Press the RESET switch to set the left display reading to 0.0 .
- Connect the fuel cap test adapter (part of SST ) to the manifold assembly and fuel-filler cap from the vehicle. If the fuel-filler cap is not a genuine part, replace it.
- Connect the threaded test adapter (part of SST ) to he manifold assembly and fuel-filler neck.
- Connect the WDS or equivalent to DLC-2.
- Turn the ignition key to ON (engine OFF).
- Request the PCM for on-board device control (Mode 08) using WDS or equivalent to close change over valve (COV) in EVAP system leak detection pump. NOTE: The COV is closed for 1-minute unless the following any action is done: The engine is started. The ignition key is turned to OFF.
- Turn the control valve to the FILL position.
- Wait (maximum 40 seconds) until the left display reads 13.5 to 14 inches of water. If the reading is slightly below, adjust it using the regulator knob. If the reading is far below, the EVAP system has large leak. Check for leak using the ultrasonic leak detector and repair.
- Turn the control valve to the TEST position and press the START switch.
- After the 2-minute countdown (left display) is completed, check the test result (the failed/passed light on the tester). If the green light turns on, the EVAP system is OK. If the red light turn on, the EVAP system has leakage. Check for leak using the ultrasonic leak detector and repair.
- Close the gas cylinder valve.
- Turn the control valve to the FILL position.
- Press the ON/OFF switch to turn off the tester.
