ACTION

APPLICABILITY

At this time, the conditions required to set the DTC are not present.
Note: Use the Freeze Frame Data to help you duplicate the conditions that
set the DTC. Pay particular attention to the DTC set conditions, such as,
VSS, MAP, ECT, and Load.
Note: Visually inspect the related wiring harness. Look for any chafed,
pierced, pinched, or partially broken wires.
Note: Visually inspect the related wire harness connectors. Look for broken,
bent, pushed out, or corroded terminals.
Note: Refer to any technical service bulletins that may apply.
Perform a wiggle test of the Evap Purge Solenoid wiring while the circuit is actuated
with the DRBIII

t. Listen for the solenoid to quit actuating. Also watch for the Good

Trip Counter to change to 0.
Were any problems found?

All

Yes

→

Repair wiring harness/connectors as necessary.
Perform POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST VER - 5.

is tight and in good condition. Ensure the gas cap meets OEM specifications.
Turn the ignition on.
With the DRBIII

t, read DTC’s.

TEST

ACTION

APPLICABILITY

To continue testing you will need Miller Tools #6872A (Evap System Pressure Pump)
and #8382 (Gas Cap Tester/Adapter).
Warning: The test equipment is designed to be used to pressurize the
vehicles Evaporative System only. Using the equipment in a manner for
which it was not designed could be harmful.
Warning: Keep lighted cigarettes, sparks, flames, and other ignition sources
away from the test area to prevent the ignition of explosive gases. Keep the
test area well ventilated.
Note: The fuel tank should have between 20% and 80% of fuel tank capacity
to properly test the Evap system.
Attach the power source clip (red) of Miller Tool #6872A to Battery (+) and the ground
clip (black) to Battery (-).
Perform the Evaporative System Pressure Pump self test that is specified on the
tester cover.
Remove gas cap and install Miller Tool #8382 on vehicle. Install gas cap to Miller Tool
#8382. Attach the pressure supply hose from Miller Tool #6872A to the fitting on
#8382.
Disconnect the vacuum supply hose at the Leak Detection Pump. Connect and apply
a continuous vacuum supply (i.e. 20

9Hg) to the Leak Detection Pump. A vacuum

pump such as an A/C recovery unit works well.
Ignition on, engine not running.
With the DRBIII

t in System Tests, select 9Leak Detect Pump Test.9 Read instructions

and then press Enter. Select: #3 - HOLD PSI.
On Miller Tool #6872A, set the Pressure/Hold switch to Open and set the Vent switch
to Closed. Turn the pump timer On and watch the gauge.
Note: If the pressure does not build up, there is obviously a large leak in the
system and the presence of strong fuel odor may be present. A visual
inspection should find a leak of substantial size.
When the gauge pressure reaches 14

9H2O, turn the Pressure/Hold Valve to Closed.

Turn the pump timer off. Note the time and pressure. After 10 sec of stabilization
time.
Did the pressure drop more than 6

9H2O in 2 minutes?

Note: A thorough visual inspection of the Evap system hoses, tubes, and
connections may save time in your diagnosis. Look for any physical damage
or signs of wetness at connections. The strong smell of fuel vapors may aid
diagnosis also.
To continue testing, you will need Miller Tool #6904A (Ultrasonic Leak Detector.)
NOTE: The LDP System Test should still be running. If the DRBIII

t read has

timed out, restart the System Test.
Using Miller Tool #6872A, set the Pressure/Hold Switch to Open, and the Vent Switch
to Closed. Turn the pump timer on to pressurize/re-pressurize the Evap System.
Using the Ultrasonic Leak Detector, start listening for leaks in the Evap System.
Carefully leak test all hoses, tubes, and connections.
Were any leaks heard with the Ultrasonic Leak Detector?

All

Yes

→

Repair or replace the leaking component as necessary.
Perform POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST VER - 6.

With the DRBIII

t in System Tests, perform the LDP Monitor Test. This will force the

PCM to run the LDP Monitor. If the monitor fails, further diagnosis is required to
find faulty component. If the monitor passes, the condition is not present at this time.
