Emission Control System — Evaporative Emission Controls / Two-Way Valve [Without CATA Ex. KY]

6-100prose procedure

Left column two-way valve test applies to models With CATA and KY; right column applies to models Without CATA Except KY.

Evaporative Emission Controls — Two-Way Valve Test [With CATA and KY]

  1. 1
    Remove the fuel filler cap.
  2. 2
    Remove vapor line from the fuel tank and connect to T-fitting from vacuum gauge and vacuum pump as shown.
    Fuel tank vapor line connected to a T-fitting feeding a vacuum/pressure gauge and a hand-held vacuum pump, for the two-way valve vacuum test [With CATA and KY].
  3. 3
    Slowly apply vacuum while watching the gauge. Vacuum should stabilize momentarily at 5 to 15 mmHg (0.2 to 0.6 in. Hg).
  4. 4
    Move vacuum pump hose from vacuum to pressure fitting, and move vacuum gauge hose from vacuum to pressure side as shown.
    Same setup with the gauge and pump hoses moved to the pressure side of the T-fitting for the pressure test [With CATA and KY].
  5. 5
    Slowly pressurize the vapor line while watching the gauge. Pressure should stabilize at 10 to 35 mmHg (0.4 to 1.4 in. Hg).

Two-Way Valve [Without CATA Ex. KY] — Test

  1. 1
    Remove the fuel filler cap.
  2. 2
    Remove the vapor line from the canister or frame, and connect to a T-fitting from the vacuum gauge and the vacuum pump as shown.
    Canister/frame vapor line connected to a T-fitting feeding a vacuum/pressure gauge and a hand-held vacuum pump/gauge, for the two-way valve vacuum test [Without CATA Ex. KY].
  3. 3
    Slowly draw a vacuum while watching the gauge. Vacuum should stabilize at 15 to 30 mmHg (0.6 to 1.2 in. Hg).
  4. 4
    Move vacuum pump hose from vacuum to pressure fitting, and move vacuum gauge hose from vacuum to pressure side as shown.
    Same setup with the gauge and pump hoses moved to the pressure side for the pressure test [Without CATA Ex. KY].
  5. 5
    Slowly pressurize the vapor line while watching the gauge. Pressure should stabilize at 10 to 25 mmHg (0.4 to 1.0 in.Hg).
