Airflow Inspection

NOTE: Perform the following test only when directed.

1. Remove the EVAP system leak detection pump.
2. Blow air into port A and verify that there is airflow from port B.
- If not as specified, replace the EVAP system leak detection pump.




3. Blow air into port B and verify that there is airflow from port A.
- If not as specified, replace the EVAP system leak detection pump.
- If as specified, perform the following "Resistance Inspection".

Resistance Inspection

NOTE: Perform the following procedure only when directed.




1. Inspect resistance of the EVAP system leak detection pump.
- If not as specified, replace the EVAP system leak detection pump.
- If as specified, carry out the "Circuit Open/Short Inspection".
