id0116d2152100
• There are five types of quick release connectors.
Quick Release Connector Type
Type A Construction
• An SST is not used with this type.
• Mainly consists of a retainer and O-ring. The quick release connector is integrated with the evaporative hose and therefore cannot be disassembled.
Type B Construction
• An SST is not used with this type.
• The connector can be disconnected by pinching the retainer tab pulling the connector.
• To connect the quick release connector properly, push it into the evaporative pipe until a locking click sound is heard.
• New quick release connectors are fitted with a checker tab that prevents improper fit. This checker tab cannot normally be removed. When the quick release connector is properly connected to the evaporative pipe, the lock is released and the checker tab comes off. Due to this, it can be verified that the quick release connector is completely connected.
Type C Construction
• An SST is not used with this type.
• Mainly consists of a retainer and O-ring. The quick release connector is integrated with the joint port and therefore cannot be disassembled.
• When the quick release connector is connected, the evaporative pipe projection is locked at the clamp lock point. To release the quick connector lock for each type, follow the procedure in the order shown in each figure.
Type D Construction
• An SST is not used with this type.
• Used in the engine compartment.
• Mainly consists of a retainer and O-ring. The quick release connector is integrated with the evaporative hose and therefore cannot be disassembled.
• When the quick release connector is connected, the evaporative pipe projection is locked at the clamp lock point. By pushing the clamp release tab to expand the clamp, the lock point is released allowing the evaporative pipe to be disconnected.
• To connect the quick release connector properly, push it into the evaporative pipe until a locking click sound is heard.
