INSTALLATION

Type-1 Canisters

CAUTION: After installing any EVAP canister or ESIM switch, the electrical connector on the switch MUST be in the 3 O'clock position (as viewed from front). This step must be done for proper ESIM switch operation.





A single, vertically mounted EVAP canister (1) is used with Type 1. The ESIM (Emission System Integrity Monitor) switch (3) is mounted to the canister.

1. Two locating pins are located at rear of canister. Push these two pins into canister mounting bracket.
2. Install canister mounting bracket bolt. This is located below and near the ESIM switch.
3. Connect quick-connect vapor line (5) to canister.
4. Connect vapor line (6) to ESIM switch.
5. Connect electrical wiring connector to ESIM switch (3).
