Vapor Canister

Before working on the Evaporative Emission Control Canister maintain safety by keeping all fuel-related components free from lighted tobacco or open flames because the mixture could ignite and produce serious injuries. The work area demands strict prohibition of personal electronic devices including cell phones and audio equipment. The work on the EVAP system and fuel-related components requires battery ground cable disconnection prior to starting. The first step requires hoisting the vehicle with NEUTRAL gear selection. Eliminate foreign material as well as dirt from the EVAP canister vent solenoid electrical connector and its vicinity. After clearing the area you can disconnect the connector. The technician must first disconnect the fasteners between the fuel vapor tube-to-EVAP canister along with the fuel vapor tube assembly and the fresh air hose-to-dust separator. The five EVAP canister nuts require removal with proper torque setting of 9 Nm (80 lb-in) for reinstallation. Instrumentation functions will begin when the installer reverses the removal sequence to reinstall the canister before performing the Evaporative Emission System Leak Test.

Before performing service or repair on the Evaporative Emission Control Canister start by positioning the vehicle on hoist with NEUTRAL gear select and disconnecting the battery ground cable. Disconnection of the ground cable from the battery ensures electrical safety during work. You must clean both the EVAP canister vent solenoid electrical connector along with its vicinity until all foreign substances are removed before removing the vent solenoid electrical connector. The procedure starts with removing the fuel vapor tube-to-EVAP canister quick connect coupling before disconnecting the fuel vapor tube assembly-to-EVAP canister quick connect coupling and finishing with the fresh air hose-to-dust separator. You must uninstall the four EVAP canister nuts but remember to torque all of them to 9 Nm (80 lb-in) during reinstallation. You must remove the EVAP canister after you remove the rivet. The new canister installation requires following the reversal of removal steps along with performance of the Evaporative Emission System Leak Test to verify proper system operation.

The first step to service the evaporative emission control canister requires a hoisted vehicle in NEUTRAL position. Before you detach the connecting wires of the EVAP canister vent solenoid you must clean its electrical connector and related area from all foreign debris. The service sequence begins with unclasping the fuel vapor tube-to-EVAP canister coupling then progress to unfastening the fuel vapor tube assembly-to-EVAP canister coupling before unclipping the fresh air tube-to-dust separator. Use a socket wrench to remove the four EVAP canister nuts before tightening all of them to 9 Nm (80 lb-in) during installation. The repair process ends after the elimination of the rivet and the EVAP canister so install everything in reverse order. Conclude the process by running the Evaporative Emission System Leak Test as well as executing the evaporative emission repair verification drive cycle.
