Inspection

INSPECTION

PROCEDURE

1. INSPECT FUEL VAPOR CONTAINMENT VALVE (FUEL TANK SOLENOID MAIN VALVE ASSEMBLY)

(a) Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

Standard Resistance:

If the result is not as specified, replace the fuel vapor containment valve (fuel tank solenoid main valve assembly).

Installation

INSTALLATION

PROCEDURE

1. INSTALL FUEL VAPOR CONTAINMENT VALVE (FUEL TANK SOLENOID MAIN VALVE ASSEMBLY)

(a) Install the fuel vapor containment valve (fuel tank solenoid main valve assembly) to the vehicle body with the 2 nuts.

Torque:

8.0 N·m {82 kgf·cm, 71 in·lbf}

(b) Push the fuel tank vent hose onto the fuel vapor containment valve (fuel tank solenoid main valve 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 fuel tank vent hose and fuel vapor containment valve (fuel tank solenoid main valve 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 fuel tank vent hose.

*a	Retainer
	Push in

(c) Connect the fuel vapor containment valve (fuel tank solenoid main valve assembly) connector.

(d) Push the fuel tank vent hose sub-assembly onto the fuel vapor containment valve (fuel tank solenoid main valve 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 fuel tank vent hose sub-assembly and fuel vapor containment valve (fuel tank solenoid main valve assembly) before performing this work.
• After connecting the fuel tank vent hose sub-assembly, check that the fuel tank vent hose sub-assembly is securely connected by pulling on the fuel tank vent hose sub-assembly.

Removal

REMOVAL

PROCEDURE

1. REMOVE FUEL VAPOR CONTAINMENT VALVE (FUEL TANK SOLENOID MAIN VALVE ASSEMBLY)

(a) Disconnect the fuel vapor containment valve (fuel tank solenoid main valve assembly) connector.

(b) Disconnect the fuel tank vent hose sub-assembly from the fuel vapor containment valve (fuel tank solenoid main valve assembly).

*c	Tube Connector	*d	O-ring
*e	Pipe (Fuel Vapor Containment Valve (Fuel Tank Solenoid Main Valve Assembly))	-	-
	Pinch		Pull
	Pull off	-	-

NOTICE:

• Remove any dirt or foreign matter on the tube connectors before performing this work.
• Do not allow any scratches or foreign matter to get on the parts when disconnecting them as the tube connector has an O-ring that seals the pipe (fuel vapor containment valve (fuel tank solenoid main valve assembly)).
• Perform this work by hand. Do not use any tools.
• Do not forcibly bend, twist or turn the fuel tank vent hose sub-assembly.
• Protect the disconnected parts by covering them with plastic bags after disconnecting the fuel tank vent hose sub-assembly.
• If the tube connector and pipe (fuel vapor containment valve (fuel tank solenoid main valve assembly)) are stuck, push and pull to release them.

HINT:

Do not remove the retainer.

(1) Pinch the tabs of the retainer to disengage the lock claws and pull it down.

(2) Pull off the fuel tank vent hose sub-assembly.

(c) Disconnect the fuel tank vent hose from the fuel vapor containment valve (fuel tank solenoid main valve assembly).
