SPECIAL TOOL(S)

CAUTION: The evaporative emission system must not be pressurized to more than 3.48 kPa (14 inches H2O) or damage to the evaporative emission system may occur.

1. Connect the Evaporative Emission System Tester to the evaporative emission test port.
2. Close the canister vent solenoid.

NOTE: The ignition system must be in the key on and engine off position.

3. Pressurize the evaporative emissions system to 3.48 kPa (14 inches H2O).
4. Monitor system for two minutes. The system fails the leak test if the pressure falls below 2.0 kPa (8 inches H2O).
5. Repair any leaks as necessary.
6. Repeat the Leak Test-Evaporative Emission System until the system remains above 2.0 kPa (8 inches H2O) after the two minute test period.
