• The engine coolant temperature is 60°C (140°F) 

or greater and the fuel tank is 15 

− 40 percent full.

• The engine coolant temperature is 20°C (68°F) or 

greater and the fuel tank is 40 

− 85 percent full.

cent.

• The fuel tank temperature is 36°C (97°F) or less.

voltage is 1 

− 4 volts.

Check Conditions C: For Test to Stop

• The intake air temperature is greater than 5°C 

(41

°F).

• When the evaporative emission purge solenoid 

and evaporative emission ventilation solenoid are 
closed, the pressure in the fuel tank rises to 451 
Pa (0.065 psi) or less and the amount of remain-
ing fuel is 15 

− 40 percent of capacity upon 

engine start-up.

• When the evaporative emission purge solenoid 

and evaporative emission ventilation solenoid are 
closed, the pressure in the fuel tank rises to 324 
Pa (0.047 psi) or less and the amount of remain-
ing fuel is 40 

− 85 percent of capacity upon 

engine start-up.

• 10 seconds have elapsed from the start of the 

previous monitoring.

• Monitoring time: 150 seconds.

Judgment Criteria

• The fuel tank internal pressure is 2 kPa (0.29 psi) 

or more after the evaporative emission purge 
solenoid valve has been driven when the fuel 
tank and vapor line were closed.

MULTIPORT FUEL INJECTION (MFI) <2.4L ENGINE>

13A-736

DIAGNOSIS

Required Special Tools:

• MB991958: Scan Tool (MUT-III Sub Assembly)

• MB991824: V.C.I.

• MB991827: MUT-III USB Cable

• MB991910: MUT-III Main Harness A

STEP 1. Using scan tool MB991958, check the 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.

• During this test, the PCM will automatically increase 

the engine speed to 1,600 r/min or greater. Check that 
the transaxle is set to the "P" 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 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."
(7) Select "Evap Leak Mon."
(8) During this test, keep the accelerator pedal at the idle 

position.

(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: Is "Evap Leak Mon. Completed. Test Failed and DTCs 

Set" displayed on scan tool MB991958?
YES : A malfunction has been detected during the monitor 

test. Refer to the Diagnostic Trouble Code Chart and 
diagnose any other DTCs that are set 

P.13A-33

. If no 

other DTC's have been set, go to Step 2.

NO <"Evap Leak Mon. Completed. Test Passed" is 
displayed on scan tool MB991958.> : The evaporative 

emission system is working properly at this time. 
Explain to the customer that an improperly tightened 
fuel cap can cause the MIL to illuminate. Return the 
vehicle to the customer.

NO <"Evap Leak Mon. Discontinued. Retest again from 
the first" is displayed on scan tool MB991958.> : The 

EVAP monitor has been interrupted during the test. 
Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position 
once, and repeat the monitoring from Step 1.

STEP 2. Using scan tool MB991958, check actuator test 
item 08: Evaporative Emission Purge Solenoid Valve.

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 hoses B and C from the evaporative emission 

purge solenoid valve side, and connect the hand vacuum 
pump to the evaporative emission purge solenoid valve 
instead of hose C.

(3) Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
(4) Set scan tool MB991958 to actuator test mode.

• Item 08: Evaporative Emission Purge Solenoid Valve.

• When the evaporative emission purge solenoid 

valve is operated, apply a pressure on the hand vac-
uum pump and confirm that air is blown from the 
other side nipple.

(5) Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.
(6) Disconnect the hand vacuum pump, and connect hoses A 

and B to the evaporative emission purge solenoid valve.

Q: Is the solenoid valve in good condition?

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

valve. Then go to Step 19.
