2007 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 2007 Ford Taurus?

  A: Service of the evaporative emission control canister involves complete assembly maintenance except for the valve that controls canister venting. Put the vehicle on a hoist in NEUTRAL position while disconnecting the battery ground cable because this step minimizes the chance of electrical sparks that could ignite fuel vapors. The first step involves disconnecting the electrical connector from the evaporative emission (EVAP) canister assembly before proceeding with disconnection of emission tube at dust separator and the fuel vapor control tube assembly valve quick connect coupling. Unscrew the two bolts and two nuts which maintain the EVAP canister while tightening these components to 10 Nm during reassembly. Reinstall the parts according to the opposite order of removal when putting back together the EVAP canister assembly. Complete the system check by both performing leak tests then carrying out evaporative emission repair verification drive cycles to verify proper system functionality.
