STEP 5. Check the evaporative emission ventilation
solenoid using scan tool MB991958.

CAUTION

To prevent damage to scan tool MB991958, always turn the
ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position before con-
necting or disconnecting scan tool MB991958.
(1) Connect scan tool MB991958 to the data link connector.

(2) Disconnect hose E from the evaporative emission

ventilation solenoid side, and connect a hand vacuum
pump.

(3) Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
(4) Set scan tool MB991958 to actuator test mode for item 29:

Evaporative Emission Ventilation Solenoid. When the
evaporative emission ventilation solenoid is operated, apply
a pressure on the hand vacuum pump and confirm that air
is maintained.

(5) Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position. Then

disconnect scan tool MB991958.

(6) Disconnect the hand vacuum pump, and connect hose E to

the evaporative emission canister.

Q: Is the solenoid valve in good condition?

YES : Go to Step 6.
NO : Replace the evaporative emission ventilation

solenoid. Then go to Step 27.

STEP 6. Pressure test for leaks in the evaporator line from
hose D to hose N.
(1) Disconnect hose E from the evaporative emission

ventilation solenoid side, and plug the hoses.

(2) Remove the fuel cap.

(3) Connect the evaporative emission system pressure pump

to the fuel filler neck.

(4) Apply a pressure on the evaporative emission system

pressure pump, and confirm that air is maintained.
NOTE: "Pressure test" in this procedure refers to the
I/M240 Simulation Test (8 simple steps) described in the
evaporative emission system pressure pump (Miller number
6872A) manufacture's instructions located in the lid of the
pump box.

(5) Disconnect the evaporative emission system pressure

pump, and reinstall the fuel cap.

(6) Connect hose E to the evaporator line.
Q: Is air maintained?

YES : Go to Step 17.
NO : Go to Step 7.

STEP 7. Pressure test for leaks in the evaporator line from
hose G to hose N.
(1) Disconnect hose G from the evaporative emission canister

side, and plug the hose.

(2) Perform the pressure test again.
Q: Is air maintained?

YES : Go to Step 10.
NO : Go to Step 8.

STEP 8. Check for leaks in the evaporator line from hose D
to hose F.
(1) Remove the fuel tank. (Refer to GROUP 13C, Fuel Tank

P.13C-13

.)

(2) The leakage test with a hand vacuum pump on each hose

from hose D to hose F.

Q: Are the hoses in good condition?

YES : Go to Step 9.
NO : Replace the inferior hose, and reinstall the fuel tank.

(Refer to GROUP 13C, Fuel Tank

P.13C-13

.) Then go

to Step 27.

STEP 9. Check for leaks in the evaporative emission
canister.
(1) Connect a hand vacuum pump to the vent nipple of the

evaporative emission canister.

(2) Plug the other two nipples or loop a hose between the other

nipples.

(3) Apply a vacuum with the hand vacuum pump, and confirm

that air is maintained.

Q: Is the evaporative emission canister in good condition?

YES : Go to Step 27.
NO : Replace the evaporative emission canister (Refer to

GROUP 17, Evaporative Emission Canister and Fuel
Tank Pressure Relief Valve

P.17-117

,) and reinstall

the fuel tank. (Refer to GROUP 13C, Fuel Tank

P.13C-13

.) Then go to Step 27.

STEP 10. Check for leaks in the evaporator line from hose
H to hose I.
(1) Remove the fuel tank. (Refer to GROUP 13C, Fuel Tank

P.13C-13

.)

(2) Disconnect hose H at the liquid separator side, and then

connect a hand vacuum pump to the hose.

(3) Plug the hose I at the fuel tank side.
(4) Apply vacuum by using the hand vacuum pump, and

confirm that the applied vacuum does not fluctuate.

Q: Is air maintained?

YES : Go to Step 11.
NO : Replace the inferior hose, and reinstall the fuel tank.

(Refer to GROUP 13C, Fuel Tank

P.13C-13

.) Then go

to Step 27.

STEP 11. Check for leaks in the evaporator line hose G, J,
K, L and hose M.
(1) Remove the filler neck assembly. (Refer to GROUP 13C,

Fuel Tank

P.13C-13

.)

(2) The leakage test with a hand vacuum pump on each hose

from hoses G, J, K, L and M.

Q: Are the hoses in good condition?

YES : Go to Step 12.
NO : Replace the inferior hose, and reinstall the filler neck

assembly. (Refer to GROUP 13C, Fuel Tank

P.13C-13

.) Then go to Step 27.
