2006 Ford Taurus Vapor Canister Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How is the Vapor Canister Serviced and What Steps Should Be Followed for Installation and Testing on 2006 Ford Taurus?

  A: The evaporative emission control canister exists as a complete component set except for its stand-alone canister vent solenoid repair process. To lessen the potential for fuel vapor ignition from electrical sparks, start by hoisting the vehicle in NEUTRAL position and removing the battery cable ground connection. Service begins with disconnecting the electrical connector from the evaporative emission (EVAP) canister assembly before moving to the emission tube at the dust separator and the fuel vapor control tube assembly valve quick connect coupling. The process of EVAP canister installation requires tightening all two bolts and two nuts to 10 Nm (89 lb-in) torque. You should conduct the opposite sequence for mounting the EVAP canister assembly after its removal. The inspection completes with a leak test together with an evaporative emission repair verification drive cycle to verify proper operation.
