FUEL ODOR (IN ENGINE COMPARTMENT)

DESCRIPTION

Gasoline fuel smell or visible leakage

POSSIBLE CAUSE

• Excessive fuel pressure

• Purge solenoid valve malfunction

• Fuel system vent system blockage

• Evaporative gas leakage

• Improper connection of evaporative related vacuum hoses

• Charcoal canister malfunction

• Fuel leakage from fuel system

Warning
The following troubleshooting flow chart contains the fuel system diagnosis and repair
procedures. Read the following warnings before performing the fuel system services:

• Fuel vapor is hazardous. It can easily ignite, causing serious injury and damage. Always

keep sparks and flames away from fuel.

• Fuel line spills and leakage are dangerous. Fuel can ignite and cause serious injury or

death and damage. Fuel can also irritate skin and eyes. To prevent this, always complete
“BEFORE REPAIR ROCEDURE” and “AFTER REPAIR PROCEDURE” described in this
manual.
(See01-14-4 BEFORE REPAIR PROCEDURE[L3 WITH TC].)
(See01-14-4 AFTER REPAIR PROCEDURE[L3 WITH TC].)

Caution

• Disconnecting/connecting the quick release connector without cleaning it may possibly

cause damage to the fuel pipe and quick release connector. Always clean the quick release
connector joint area before disconnecting/connecting, and make sure that it is free of
foreign material.

Yes

Inspect the charcoal canister for fuel saturation.
If excess amount of liquid fuel is present, replace the
charcoal canister.

No

Inspect the fuel pressure sensor and the high pressure
fuel pump.
(See01-40-35 FUEL PRESSURE SENSOR
INSPECTION[L3 WITH TC].)
(See01-14-19 HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP
INSPECTION[L3 WITH TC].)

5

Verify test results.

• If normal, return to the diagnostic index to service any additional symptoms.

• If a malfunction remains, inspect the related Service Bulletins and/or On-line Repair Information and perform the

repair or diagnosis.
— If the vehicle is repaired, troubleshooting is completed.

— If the vehicle is not repaired or additional diagnostic information is not available, reprogram the PCM if a later

calibration is available. Retest.
