Sensor Contamination Inspection
- Visually/physically inspect following items:
- Remove and inspect the HO2S(B1S1) for any silicon contamination. This contamination will be indicated by a white powdery coating and this will result in a but false voltage signal.
- Check MAFS for contamination, deterioration, or damage.
- If contamination is evident on the HO2S or MAFS, replace contaminated sensor and go to next step.
- OVER PURGING OF THE EVAP SYSTEM
Check the EVAP. system for possible leaks.
- Remove the manifold side vacuum hose from the EVAP canister purge valve.
- Using a hand vacuum pump apply specified vacuum(Approx. 15 in, Hg) to the manifold side of the valve.
- Does the valve hold vacuum?
YES
- Go to FUEL SYSTEM INSPECTION procedure.
NO
- Repair air leakage and go to VERIFICATION OF VEHICLE REPAIR procedure.
