1GR-FE EMISSION CONTROL: CANISTER: INSPECTION

1. INSPECT CHARCOAL CANISTER ASSEMBLY





(a) Visually check the charcoal canister for cracks and damage.

If there is any cracks or damage, replace the charcoal canister assembly.

(b) Check the charcoal canister operation.





(1) While holding the purge port closed, blow air at 1.67 kPa (17.0 gf*cm2, 0.24 psi) into the vent port, and check that the air flows from the air inlet port.
