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.

STEP 3. Check for leaks and clogging in evaporative 
emission hoses A through E.

Use a hand vacuum pump to test each hose from hose A to 
hose E.
Q: Are the hoses in good condition?

YES : Go to Step 4.
NO :  Replace the damaged hose. Then go to Step 19.

STEP 4. Check for leaks and clogging in the chamber.

(1) When you blow the chamber, it should pass less air.
(2) When you blow the chamber, on air should leak from the 

chamber body.

Q: Is the chamber in good condition?

YES : Go to Step 5.
NO :  Replace the chamber. Then go to Step 19.

STEP 5. Check for leaks and clogging in evaporative 
emission hoses F through H.

Perform a vacuum test using a hand vacuum pump on 
hoses F through H.

Q: Are the hoses in good condition?

YES : Go to Step 6.
NO :  Replace the damaged hose. Then go to Step 19.

STEP 6. Using scan tool MB991958, check data list item 29: 
Evaporative emission ventilation solenoid.

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) Remove the fuel tank filler tube protector (Refer to GROUP 

13C, Fuel Tank 

P.13C-10

).

(3) Disconnect hose H from evaporative emission canister and 

connect hand vacuum pump to hose H.

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

• Item 29: Evaporative Emission Ventilation Solenoid.

• While the evaporative emission ventilation solenoid 

is energized, operate the hand vacuum pump and 
confirm that the solenoid holds vacuum.

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

disconnect scan tool MB991958.

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

the evaporative emission canister.

(8) Reinstall the fuel tank filler tube protector (Refer to GROUP 

13C, Fuel Tank 

P.13C-10

).

Q: Did the evaporative emission ventilation solenoid hold 

vacuum?
YES : Go to Step 7.
NO :  Replace the evaporative emission ventilation solenoid 

(Refer to GROUP 17, Evaporative emission canister 
and fuel tank pressure relief valve removal and 
installation 

P.17-97

). Then go to Step 19.

STEP 7. Pressure test the evaporative emission system 
lines from hoses I to N.

(1) Disconnect hose I from the evaporative emission canister, 

and plug hose I securely.

(2) Confirm that the evaporative emission system pressure 

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

(3) Remove the fuel cap.

(4) Connect the evaporative emission system pressure pump 

(Miller number 6872A) to the fuel tank filler tube by using 
fuel tank adapter (MLR-8382).

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

are present.
NOTE: The "Pressure test" in this procedure refers to the 
I/M240 Simulation Test. The eight steps of this test are 
described in the manufacturer’s instructions for the evapo-
rative emission system pressure pump, Miller number 
6872A.

(6) Remove  the evaporative emission system pressure pump 

(Miller number 6872A) and the fuel tank adapter 
(MLR-8382), and reinstall the fuel cap.

(7) Connect hose I to the evaporative emission canister.
Q: Is the evaporative emission system line free of leaks?

YES : Go to Step 13.
NO :  Go to Step 8.
