Inspection Procedure

NOTE:
  • When a vehicle is brought into the workshop, leave it as it is. Do not change the vehicle condition. For example, do not tighten the fuel tank cap.
  • Do not disassemble the pump module.
  • The Techstream is required to conduct the following diagnostic troubleshooting procedure.
  1. CONFIRM DTC AND FUEL TANK PRESSURE 
    1. Connect Techstream to the DLC3.
    2. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
    3. Turn the tester on.
    4. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Trouble Code.
    5. Read the DTCs.
    6. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Data List / Vapor Pressure Tank.
    7. Read the EVAP (Evaporative Emission) pressure displayed on the tester.
