SWITCH-EVAP SYSTEM MONITOR

OPERATION

The ESIM (Evaporative System Integrity Monitor) is
very similar to the NVLD. However, the design of the
ESIM has been simplified and unlike the NVLD the
ESIM does not require a solenoid. The ESIM mounts
directly to the canister, eliminating the need for a
mounting bracket. It is critical that the ESIM is
mounted vertically. On vehicles where the canister is
mounted on an angle, the ESIM requires an adaptor
to maintain a vertical position. When the ESIM is
installed vertically, the electrical connector is in the 3
o’clock position.
