Component Function Check

1.CHECK ORVR FUNCTION

Check whether the following symptoms are present.

Are any symptoms present? YES >> Proceed to EC-468, "Diagnosis Procedure".

NO >> INSPECTION END

\Diagnosis Procedure

1.INSPECTION START

Check whether the following symptoms are present.

A: Fuel odor from EVAP canister is strong.

A or B

A >>GO TO 2.

B >>GO TO 7.

2.CHECK EVAP CANISTER

  1. Remove EVAP canister with EVAP canister vent control valve and EVAP control system pressure sensor attached. Refer to FL-15, "Removal and Installation".
  2. Weigh the EVAP canister with EVAP canister vent control valve and EVAP control system pressure sensor attached.

Is the inspection result normal? YES >> GO TO 3.

NO >> GO TO 4.

3.CHECK IF EVAP CANISTER IS SATURATED WITH WATER

Check if water will drain from EVAP canister Does water drain from the EVAP canister? YES >> GO TO 4.

NO >> GO TO 6.

4.REPLACE EVAP CANISTER


4.REPLACE EVAP CANISTER

Replace EVAP canister with a new one. Refer to FL-15, "Removal and Installation".

>> GO TO 5.

5.DETECT MALFUNCTIONING PART

NO >> Replace refueling EVAP vapor cut valve with fuel tank. Refer to FL-10, "Removal and Installation".

14.CHECK FUEL FILLER TUBE

Check filler neck tube and hose connected to the fuel tank for clogging, dents and cracks.

Is the inspection result normal? YES >> GO TO 15.

NO >> Replace fuel filler tube. Refer to FL-10, "Exploded View".

15.CHECK ONE-WAY FUEL VALVE-1

Check one-way valve for clogging.

Is the inspection result normal? YES >> GO TO 16.

NO >> Repair or replace one-way fuel valve with fuel tank. Refer to FL-10, "Removal and Installation".

16.CHECK ONE-WAY FUEL VALVE-2

  1. Check that fuel is drained from the tank.
  2. Remove fuel filler tube and hose. Refer to FL-10, "Exploded View".
  3. Check one-way fuel valve for operation as per the following.

    When a stick is inserted, the valve should open, when removing stick it should close.

Do not drop any material into the tank.

Is the inspection result normal? YES >> INSPECTION END

NO >> Replace fuel filler tube or replace one-way fuel valve with fuel tank. Refer to FL-10, "Removal and Installation".
