  Q: What Are the Critical Steps Involved in the Service and Repair of the Vapor Canister on Ford Five Hundred?

  A: Several safety-oriented steps comprise the procedure for servicing and repairing the evaporative emission control canister. The first step is to disconnect the battery ground cable to stop electrical sparks that might start fuel vapors. The service provider should disconnect power to the EVAP canister vent solenoid after positioning the vehicle in neutral on a hoist before proceeding with EVAP canister quick connect coupling and front vapor tube-to-dust separator removal. The next step involves taking off the two EVAP canister retaining nuts and bolts then reinstall them after tightening them to 9 Nm (80 lb-in). First remove the EVAP canister by releasing its three wire harness pushpin retainers. Reinstallation will follow the removal steps and the installation requires leak testing combined with an evaporative emission repair verification drive cycle.
