• Volumetric efficiency is between 20 and 70 per-

cent.

• The fuel temperature is 36°C (97°F) or less.

• The fuel tank differential pressure sensor output

voltage is 1

− 4 volts.

Check Conditions C: For Test to Stop

• The intake air temperature is greater than 5°C

(41

°F).

• When the evaporative emission purge solenoid

and evaporative emission ventilation solenoid are
closed, the pressure in the fuel tank rises to 451
Pa (0.065 psi) or less and the amount of remain-
ing fuel is 15

− 40 percent of capacity upon

engine start-up.

• When the evaporative emission purge solenoid

and evaporative emission ventilation solenoid are
closed, the pressure in the fuel tank rises to 324
Pa (0.047 psi) or less and the amount of remain-
ing fuel is 40

− 85 percent of capacity upon

engine start-up.

• 10 seconds have elapsed from the start of the

previous monitoring.

• Monitoring time: 150 seconds.

Judgment Criteria

• The fuel tank internal pressure is 2 kPa (0.29 psi)

or more after the evaporative emission purge
solenoid valve has been driven when the fuel
tank and vapor line were closed.

TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS (The most likely
causes for this code to be set are:)

• Loose fuel cap.

• Fuel cap relief pressure is incorrect.

• Fuel overflow limiter valve failed.

• Purge line or vapor line is clogged.

• Fuel tank, purge line or vapor line seal failed.

• Evaporative emission purge solenoid valve failed.

• Evaporative emission ventilation solenoid valve

failed.

• Fuel tank differential pressure sensor failed.

• Evaporative emission canister seal is faulty.

• Evaporative emission canister is clogged.

DIAGNOSIS

Required Special Tools:

• MB991958: Scan Tool (MUT-III Sub Assembly)

• MB991824: V.C.I.

• MB991827: MUT-III USB cable

• MB991911: MUT-III main harness B

MULTIPORT FUEL INJECTION (MFI) DIAGNOSIS

MULTIPORT FUEL INJECTION (MFI)

13A-613

STEP 1. Using scan tool MB991958, check evaporative
emission system monitor test.

CAUTION

• To prevent damage to scan tool MB991958, always turn

the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position before
connecting or disconnecting scan tool MB991958.

• During this test, the PCM automatically increases the

engine speed to 1,600 r/min or greater. Check that the
transmission is set to "P" position.

(1) Connect scan tool MB991958 to the data link connector.
(2) Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
(3) Erase the DTCs using scan tool MB991958.
(4) Check that the fuel cap is securely closed. (Tighten until

three clicks are heard).

(5) Start the engine.
(6) Select "System Test".
(7) Select "Evap Leak Mon".
(8) During this test, keep the accelerator pedal at the idling

position.

(9) Keep the engine speed and engine load within the specified

range. When the monitor test starts, the "In Progress" item
on scan tool MB991958 will change from "NO" to "YES".

(10)Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position and

disconnect scan tool MB991958.

Q: Is "Evap Leak Mon. Completed. Test Failed and DTCs

Set" displayed on scan tool MB991958?
YES : A malfunction has been detected during the monitor

test. Refer to the Diagnostic Trouble Code Chart and
diagnose any other DTCs that are set

P.13A-26

. If no

other DTC's have been set, go to Step 2.

NO <"Evap Leak Mon. Completed. Test Passed" is
displayed on scan tool MB991958.> : The evaporative

emission system is working properly at this time.
Explain to the customer that an improperly tightened
fuel cap can cause the MIL to illuminate. Return the
vehicle to the customer.

NO <"Evap Leak Mon. Discontinued. Retest again from
the first" is displayed on scan tool MB991958.> : The

EVAP monitor has been interrupted during the test.
Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position
once, and repeat the monitoring from Step 1.

STEP 2. Check for leaks in the evaporative emission purge
solenoid.

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

connectMB991958or.

(2) Disconnect hoses A and B from the evaporative emission

purge solenoid.

(3) Connect the hand vacuum pump to the evaporative

emission purge solenoid instead of hose A.

(4) Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
(5) Set scan tool MB991958 to actuator test mode.

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.

(6) Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.
(7) Disconnect the hand vacuum pump and connect hoses A

and B to the evaporative emission purge solenoid.

Q: Does the evaporative emission purge solenoid nipple

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

to Step 26.
