STEP 2. Using scan tool MB991958, check solenoid for
clogging of the purge control.
(1) Disconnect hoses B and C from the evaporative emission

purge solenoid side, and connect the hand vacuum pump to
the evaporative emission purge solenoid instead of hose C.

(2) Set scan tool MB991958 to actuator test mode for item 08:

Evaporative Emission Purge Solenoid. When the
evaporative emission purge solenoid is operated, apply a
pressure on the hand vacuum pump and confirm that air is
blown from the other side nipple.

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

disconnect scan tool MB991958.

(4) Disconnect the hand vacuum pump, and connect hoses B

and C to the evaporative emission purge solenoid.

Q: Is the solenoid in good condition?

YES : Go to Step 3.
NO : Replace the evaporative emission purge solenoid.

Then go to Step 26.

STEP 3. Check for leaks and clogging in the evaporator
line hose A to hose E <Vehicle without Intake Mnifold
Tuning System> or hose B, C, E <Vehicle with Intake
Mnifold Tuning System>.
Q: Are the hoses in good condition?

YES : Go to Step 4.
NO : Replace the inferior hose. Then go to Step 26.

STEP 4. 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 the hose G from the evaporative emission

ventilation solenoid side.

(3) Connect the hand vacuum pump to the nipple of the

evaporative emission ventilation solenoid from which the
hoses have been disconnected.

(4) Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
(5) 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.

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

disconnect scan tool MB991958.

(7) Disconnect the hand vacuum pump, and connect hose G to

the evaporative emission canister.

Q: Is the solenoid valve in good condition?

YES : Go to Step 5.
NO : Replace the evaporative emission ventilation

solenoid. Then go to Step 26.

STEP5. Pressure test for leaks in the evaporator line from
hose F to hose P.
(1) Disconnect hose G 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 G to the evaporator line.
Q: Is air maintained?

YES : Go to Step 16.
NO : Go to Step 6.

STEP 6. Pressure test for leaks in the evaporator line from
hose I to hose P.
(1) Disconnect hose I from the evaporative emission canister

side, and plug the hose.

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

YES : Go to Step 9.
NO : Go to Step 7.
