  10. Connect fuel cap test adapter (part of emission system tester) to manifold assembly and fuel-filler cap from vehicle. (Scheme 65) If fuel-filler cap is not a Mazda part, replace it.
  11. Connect threaded test adapter (part of emission system tester) to manifold assembly and fuel-filler neck.
  12. Connect scan tool to DLC-2.
  13. Turn ignition on, engine off.

  15. Turn control valve to FILL position.
  16. Wait (maximum 40 seconds) until left display reads 13.5 to 14.0 inches of water. If reading is slightly less than specified, adjust reading using regulator knob. If reading is far less than specified, EVAP system has large leak. Check for leak using ultrasonic leak detector. Repair as necessary.
  17. Turn control valve to TEST position and press START switch.
  18. After 2-minute countdown (left display) is completed, check test result (FAILED/PASSED light on tester). If Green light turns on, EVAP system is OK. If Red light turns on, EVAP system has leakage.

  20. Close gas cylinder valve.
  21. Turn control valve to FILL position.
  22. Press ON/OFF switch to turn off tester.

Inspection

Note. Ensure no HO2S DTC has been detected. If detected, this inspection cannot be used.

  1. Using scan tool, access O2S11 (front HO2S) and O2S12 (rear HO2S) PIDs.
  2. Monitor appropriate PIDs.
  3. Drive vehicle for 10 minutes at 40-60 MPH to ensure Warm Up Three-Way Catalytic Converter (WU-TWC) reaches operating temperature.
  4. Stop vehicle, let engine idle and record PIDs for one minute.
  5. Select appropriate PIDs and read graph. (Scheme 86)or (Scheme 87).
  6. Count number of times graphline actually crosses.5V line (inversion) for both front and rear HO2Ss.
  7. Divide number of front HO2S inversions by number of rear HO2S inversions for ratio data. If ratio is 2 (1.5 on Mazda6) or more or no rear HO2S inversions, WU-TWC converter is functioning properly. If ratio is less than 2 (1.5 on Mazda6), WU-TWC converter has deteriorated. (Scheme 88) Replace faulty WU-TWC converter.
