EVAP Running Loss System Repair Verification Drive Cycle

NOTE:
- When the ambient air temperature outside is 4.4 to 37.8 °C (40 to 100 °F), or the altitude is above 2438 meters (8000 feet), the EVAP monitor will not run.
- FLI PID must be between 15 and 85%.

1. Complete Vehicle Preparation.
2. Cruise at 72 to 104 kph (45 to 65 PMH) for 10 minutes (avoid sharp turns and hills).
3. To initiate the EVAP monitor, the EVAPPDC PID must increase to at least 75% (canister purge vent open). At this time, the EVAPCV PID will then display 100% (canister vent solenoid closed to seal the system) and the monitor will begin to run. Continue to drive at steady throttle with light steering until the EVAPCV displays 0% (canister vent solenoid open, system unsealed).
4. Bring the vehicle to a stop.
5. With the scan tool, view the EVAP monitor for completion through the On-Board System Readiness Tests Menu. Repeat Step 2 if the EVAP monitor is not complete.
6. Verify no DTCs are available with exception of P1000.
