STEP 1. Using scan tool MB991958, check evaporative 
emission system monitor test.

CAUTION

• To prevent damage to scan tool MB991958, always turn 

the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position before 
connecting or disconnecting scan tool MB991958.

• With this monitor, the ECM <M/T> or PCM <A/T> auto-

matically increases the engine speed to 1,600 r/min or 
more. Check that the transaxle is set to "neutral" <M/T> 
or "P" <A/T> position.

(1) Connect scan tool MB991958 to the data link connector.
(2) Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
(3) Erase the DTCs using the scan tool MB991958.
(4) Check that the fuel cap is securely closed. (Tighten until 

three clicks are heard.)

(5) Start the engine.
(6) Select "System Test," and press the "YES" key.
(7) Select "Evap Leak Mon," and press the "YES" key.
(8) During the monitor, keep the accelerator pedal at the idling 

position.
NOTE: If the engine speed does not reach 2,000 r/min dur-
ing the monitor test, adjustment of the Speed Adjusting 
Screw may be needed. Refer to 

P.13A-928

. And adjust to 

the standard value.

(9) Keep the engine speed and engine load within the specified 

range. When the monitor test starts, the "In Progress" item 
on scan tool MB991958 will change from "NO" to "YES."

(10)Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position, and 

disconnect scan tool MB991958.

Q: What is displayed on the scan tool MB991958?

"Evap Leak Mon. Completed Test Passed" : The 

evaporative emission system is working properly at 
this time. Explain to customer that improperly 
tightened fuel cap can cause MIL to turn on, and 
return the vehicle.

"Evap Leak Mon. Completed. Test Failed and DTCs Set" 
: 

A malfunction has been detected during the monitor 
test. Go to Step 2.

"Evap Lead Mon. discontinued. Retest again from the 
first" : The monitor was discontinued for a certain reason 

(vehicle speed input from computer, engine speed 
and engine load deviating from specified range). Turn 
the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position once, 
and repeat the monitoring from the Step 1.

STEP 2. Check evaporative emission purge solenoid for 
leaks.
(1) Remove the battery.
(2) Remove the air intake hose. (Refer to GROUP 15, Air 

Cleaner 

P.15-6

.)

(3) Disconnect hose B from the evaporative emission purge 

solenoid side, and connect a hand vacuum pump to the 
nipple of the evaporative emission purge solenoid.

(4) Apply a pressure on the hand vacuum pump, and confirm 

that air is maintained.

(5) Disconnect the hand vacuum pump, and connect hose B to 

the evaporative emission purge solenoid.

Q: Is the evaporative emission purge solenoid in good 

condition?
YES : Go to Step 3.
NO :  Replace the evaporative emission purge solenoid. 

Then go to Step 18.

STEP 3. Check for leaks in the evaporator line hose A to 
hose C.

The leakage test with a hand vacuum pump on each hose 
from hose A to hose C.

Q: Are the hoses in good condition?

YES : Go to Step 4.
NO :  Replace the inferior hose. Then go to Step 18.

STEP 4. Check for leaks in the chamber.
(1) Connect a hand vacuum pump to the nipple.
(2) Plug the other nipple.
(3) Apply vacuum with the hand vacuum pump, and confirm 

that the applied vacuum does not fluctuate.

Q: Is the chamber in good condition?

YES : Go to Step 5.
NO :  Replace the chamber. Then go to Step 18.

STEP 5. Check the evaporative emission ventilation 
solenoid using scan tool MB991958. (Actuator test item 29)

CAUTION

To prevent damage to scan tool MB991958, always turn the 
ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position before con-
necting or disconnecting scan tool MB991958.
(1) Connect scan tool MB991958 to the data link connector.

(2) Disconnect the hose E from the evaporative emission 

ventilation solenoid side.

(3) Connect the hand vacuum pump to the nipple of the 

evaporative emission ventilation solenoid from which the 
hoses have been disconnected.

(4) Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
(5) Set scan tool MB991958 to actuator test mode for item 29: 

Evaporative Emission Ventilation Solenoid. When the 
evaporative emission ventilation solenoid is operated, apply 
a pressure on the hand vacuum pump and confirm that air 
is maintained.

(6) Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position, and 

disconnect scan tool MB991958.

(7) Disconnect the hand vacuum pump, and connect hose E to 

the evaporative emission canister.

Q: Is the evaporative emission ventilation solenoid in good 

condition?
YES : Go to Step 6.
NO :  Replace the evaporative emission ventilation 

solenoid. Then go to Step 18.

STEP 6. Pressure test for evaporator line from hose D to 
hose N.
(1) Remove the module bracket mounting bolts, and 

disconnect hose E from the evaporative emission 
ventilation solenoid side, and plug the hoses from which the 
hoses have been disconnected.

(2) Confirm that the evaporative emission system pressure 

pump (Miller number 6872A) is operating properly. Perform 
the self-test as described in the manufacturer's instructions.

(3) Connect an evaporative emission system pressure pump to 

the fuel filler neck.

(4) Pressure test the system to determine whether any leaks 

are present.
NOTE: "Pressure test" in this procedure refers to the 
I/M240 Simulation Test (8 simple steps) described in the 
evaporative emission system pressure pump (Miller number 
6872A) manufacturer's instructions located in the lid of the 
pump box.

Q: Are the evaporator line in good condition?

YES : Go to Step 17.
NO :  Go to Step 7.

STEP 7. Pressure test for evaporator line from hose G to 
hose N.
(1) Disconnect hose G from the evaporative emission canister 

side, and plug the hose from which the pipes have been 
disconnected.

(2) Perform the pressure test again.
Q: Are the evaporator line in good condition?

YES : Go to Step 8.
NO :  Go to Step 10.
