EVAP Running Loss System Repair Verification Drive Cycle

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 km/h (45 to 65 mph) for 10 minutes (avoid sharp turns and hills).
3. To initiate the EVAP monitor, the EVAPCV 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 tight 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 retrieved with exception of P1000.
