  Q: How to Service and Repair the Vapor Canister on Ford Explorer Sport?

  A: The repair or service of the evaporative emission control canister requires starting at the liftgate followed by spare tire removal and ground cable battery disconnection. The battery ground cable needs to be disconnected first to stop electrical sparks that might cause fuel vapor explosions in the area. The service begins with the separation of two chassis emissions lines from the evaporative emission tube. Untighten the bolts fastening the evaporative emissions canister before extracting the canister and bracket assembly together. The technician begins the procedure by disconnecting the canister vent solenoid electrical connector then uninstalls this solenoid together with the evaporative emission tube by removing the solenoid hose and disassembling the solenoid and evaporative emission canister purge sleeve. The last step involves taking out the evaporative emission canister from its bracket position. Reinstallation will follow the reverse steps while the system demands a leak test of its evaporative emissions components. Complete the repair verification for evaporative emissions by conducting the drive cycle. The installation process requires MERPOL(R) O-ring Seal Lubricant or a suitable product matching Ford specification ESE-M99B144-B for lubricating all O-ring seals.
