Using jumper wires, connect battery voltage and ground to electrical terminals on EVAP VSV to operate EVAP VSV. Start engine. Go to next step.
- Check vacuum reading on vacuum gauge with engine idling. Vacuum should be.368-19.713 in Hg. or 5-268 in. H 2 O for over 5 seconds. If vacuum is within specification, go to next step. If vacuum reading is not within specification, check for loose or restricted vacuum hose to EVAP service port, or for malfunctioning EVAP VSV. To check EVAP VSV operation, see «EVAP VACUUM SWITCHING VALVE»(ref-3026-S10229262162000041700000).
- Shut engine off. If using scan tool to operate EVAP VSV, stop operation of EVAP VSV. Remove scan tool. Go to next step. If connecting battery voltage to EVAP VSV to operate EVAP VSV, disconnect jumper wires and reconnect electrical connector on EVAP VSV. Go to next step.

If pressure is within specification, remove hose crimper and go to next step. If pressure cannot be maintained, remove hose crimper and check for disconnected vacuum hose between EVAP VSV, charcoal canister and fuel tank. If vacuum hose is properly installed on EVAP VSV, charcoal canister and fuel tank, check for stuck open EVAP VSV. To check EVAP VSV operation, see «EVAP VACUUM SWITCHING VALVE»(ref-3026-S10229262162000041700000).

- If pressure inside fuel tank holds steady for one minute, reinstall EVAP line hose on charcoal canister. Go to next step. If pressure inside fuel will not hold steady for one minute, check for leaking hoses or pipes at fuel tank and fuel inlet pipe, or for leaks at fuel tank or installed components on fuel tank. If no leaks exist, replace fuel tank and fuel inlet pipe. Reinstall EVAP line hose on charcoal canister. Go to next step. NOTE: Overfill check valve may also be referred to as fill check valve.

- Apply.58 psi (.040 kg/cm 2 ) air pressure to purge line hose fitting on charcoal canister. Perform STEP 3 in illustration. (Scheme 68) Ensure air flows from EVAP line hose when air pressure is applied to purge line hose fitting on charcoal canister. If fuel tank is full of fuel, air may not flow from EVAP line hose, as overfill check valve may be closed. Ensure fuel tank is not full of fuel when checking for airflow at EVAP line hose.
- If air flows from EVAP line hose, go to next step. If air does not flow from EVAP line hose, check for restrictions in EVAP line hose and vent line hose. If any hose is restricted, replace hose and recheck operation.
