EVAP CANISTER PURGE INSPECTION

NOTE:
Before inspection, check to make sure that gear shift lever is
in neutral position (with A/T model, selector lever in "P" range)
and that parking brake lever is pulled all the way up.
1) Disconnect purge hose from EVAP canister.
2) Place finger against the end of disconnected hose and check
that vacuum is not felt there when engine is cool and running at
idle speed.
3) Connect purge hose to EVAP canister and warm up engine to
normal operating temperature.
4) Disconnect purge hose from EVAP canister.
5) Also check that vacuum is felt when engine is running at idle
speed.
NOTE:
The EVAP canister purge system does not perform purging
(vacuum is not detected at the purge hose) unless the en-
gine is sufficiently warmed up and the heated oxygen sen-
sor is activated fully. Also, when the purge hose is discon-
nected in Step 4), the air is drawn into the purge line. As a
result, ECM detects a change in the purge gas concentra-
tion and sometimes stops purging but this indicates noth-
ing abnormal.
If check result is not satisfactory, check vacuum passage, hoses,
EVAP canister purge valve, wire harness and ECM.

VACUUM PASSAGE INSPECTION

Start engine end run it at idle speed. Disconnect vacuum hose from
EVAP canister purge valve. With finger placed against hose discon-
nected, check that vacuum is applied.
If it is not applied, clean vacuum passage by blowing compressed
air.
