Inspection

INSPECTION

PROCEDURE

1. INSPECT CANISTER (CHARCOAL CANISTER ASSEMBLY)

(a) Visually check the canister (charcoal canister assembly). (1) Visually check the canister (charcoal canister assembly) for cracks or damage. If cracks or damage are found, replace the canister (charcoal canister assembly).

(b) Check the canister (charcoal canister assembly) operation.

(1) With the purge line port closed, blow 0.5 kPa (0.005 kgf/cm2, 0.1 psi) of air into the vent line port, and check that air flows from the air line port. If the result is not as specified, replace the canister (charcoal canister assembly).

(2) With the purge line port, air line port and charcoal canister leak detection pump sub-assembly connector closed, apply 20 kPa (150 mmHg, 5.91 in. Hg) of pressurized air into the vent line port, then confirm that pressure is maintained for 1 minute.

If the result is not as specified, replace the canister (charcoal canister assembly).

(d) Check the charcoal canister leak detection pump sub-assembly.

(1) Connect a positive (+) auxiliary battery lead to terminal 5 and a negative (-) auxiliary battery lead to terminal 1.

(2) Check that a clicking sound is heard from the charcoal canister leak detection pump sub-assembly.

If the result is not as specified, replace the charcoal canister leak detection pump sub-assembly.

(b) Engage the claw to install the canister (charcoal canister assembly) to the vehicle body as shown in the illustration.

(c) Engage the clip to connect the canister (charcoal canister assembly).

(d) Install the 2 bolts.

Torque:

8.0 N·m {82 kgf·cm, 71 in·lbf}

(e) Connect the purge line hose to the canister (charcoal canister assembly) and slide the clip to secure it.

(f) Push the fuel tank vent hose onto the canister (charcoal canister assembly) and push in the retainer to engage the lock claws.

NOTICE:

• Check that there are no scratches or foreign matter around the connecting parts of the tube connector and pipe (canister (charcoal canister assembly)) before performing this work.
• After connecting the fuel tank vent hose, check that the fuel tank vent hose is securely connected by pulling on the tube connector.
