STEP 2. Check for leaks in evaporative emission hose A.
(1) Use a hand vacuum pump to check the hose A.
Q: Do the hose hold vacuum?

YES : Go to Step 3 .
NO :  Replace the hose. Then go to Step 12 .

STEP 3. Check the evaporative emission purge solenoid 
for leaks.
(1) Remove the evaporative emission purge solenoid from the 

intake manifold.

(2) Connect the hose of the hand vacuum pump to the intake 

manifold side nipple of the evaporative emission purge 
solenoid.

(3) Use the hand vacuum pump to confirm that the evaporative 

emission purge solenoid holds vacuum.

(4) Replace the O-ring of evaporative emission purge solenoid 

with the new one. Apply a small amount of new engine oil to 
the O-ring.

(5) Tighten the mounting bolts of evaporative emission purge 

solenoid to the specified torque.

Tightening torque: 5.0 

± 1.0 N⋅m

Q: Does the evaporative emission purge solenoid hold 

pressure?
YES : Go to Step 4 .
NO :  Replace the evaporative emission purge solenoid. 

Then go to Step 12 .

STEP 4. Using scan tool MB991958, check actuator test 
item 15: Evaporative emission ventilation solenoid.
(1) Remove the canister cover.
(2) Remove the evaporative emission ventilation solenoid. Do 

not disconnect the connector.

(3) Connect the hose of the hand vacuum pump to the canister 

side nipple of the evaporative emission ventilation solenoid.

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

15: 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.
(7) Disconnect the hand vacuum pump, and reinstall the 

evaporative emission ventilation solenoid.

(8) Reinstall the canister cover.
Q: Did the evaporative emission ventilation solenoid hold 

vacuum?
YES : Go to Step 5 .
NO :  Replace the evaporative emission ventilation solenoid 

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

P.17-87

).Then go to Step 12 .

STEP 5. Perform the pressure test on the evaporative 
emission system.
(1) Disconnect hose B from the canister while holding the 

release buttons indicated in the illustration pressed by 
fingers.

(2) Plug the disconnected end of hose B.
(3) 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.

(4) Remove the fuel cap.

(5) Connect the evaporative emission system pressure pump 

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

(6) 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.

(7) Remove the evaporative emission system pressure pump 

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

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

YES : Go to Step 10 .
NO :  Go to Step 6 .

STEP 6. Check for leaks in evaporative emission hoses B 
and C.
(1) Use a hand vacuum pump to test each hose B and C.
Q: Do the hoses hold vacuum?

YES : Go to Step 7 .
NO :  Replace any damaged hose. Then go to Step 12 .

STEP 7. Check for leaks in evaporative emission hoses D 
and E.
(1) Remove the fuel tank assembly (Refer to GROUP 13C, 

Fuel Tank <FWD> 

P.13C-15

 or Fuel Tank <AWD> 

P.13C-20

).

(2) Use a hand vacuum pump to test each hose D and E.
Q: Do the hoses hold vacuum?

YES : Go to Step 8 .
NO :  Replace any damaged hose. Then go to Step 12 .
