Evaporative Emission Control Canister: Service and Repair

EVAPORATIVE EMISSION CANISTER

REMOVAL

1. WARNING:
- The evaporative emission system contains fuel vapor and condensed fuel vapor. Although not present in large quantities, it still presents the danger of explosion or fire. Disconnect the battery ground cable from the battery to minimize the possibility of an electrical spark occurring, possibly causing a fire or explosion if fuel vapor or fuel liquid is present in the area. Failure to follow these instructions may result in personal injury.
- Do not smoke or carry lighted tobacco or open flame of any type when working on or near any fuel-related component. Highly flammable liquids are always present and may be ignited, resulting in possible personal injury. Failure to follow these instructions may result in personal injury.

NOTE: The evaporative emission canister is serviced as a complete assembly with the exception of the canister vent solenoid mounted-in-line that can be serviced separately.

With the vehicle in NEUTRAL, position it on a hoist.
