EVAP Canister Vent Solenoid
TOOLS REQUIRED^ 7000081-SAT3 Scan Tool
REMOVAL
CAUTION: Do not allow smoking or the use of open flames in the area where work on the fuel system is taking place. Any time the fuel system is being worked on, disconnect the negative battery cable, except for those tests where battery voltage is required.
The EVAP canister vent solenoid is located on the upper-end of the fuel filler pipe inside the right-rear wheel opening.
CAUTION: Make sure vehicle is properly supported and squarely positioned. To help avoid personal injury when a vehicle is on a hoist, provide additional support for the vehicle on the opposite end from which components are being removed.
1. Position vehicle on hoist.
2. Raise vehicle to a comfortable working position.
3. Remove passenger side rear wheelhouse panel liner.
4. Loosen bolt at fill neck inlet and remove lower retainer nut (underbody).
5. Slide spring clamp nearest solenoid down on molded hose.
6. Disconnect solenoid electrical connector.
7. Disengage locking tabs from shield of [1][2]EVAP vent solenoid box.
8. Remove shield on [1][2]EVAP vent solenoid box and slide down molded hose.
9. Remove vent solenoid from box and vent pipe from vehicle.
10. Disconnect vent solenoid from molded rubber hose.
INSTALLATION
NOTE: Ensure that vent solenoid "clicks" into engagement with locking tab on box.
1. Install EVAP canister vent solenoid to box on filler pipe.
IMPORTANT: The lid or shield for EVAP canister vent solenoid must always be installed. The lid and solenoid box shield the vent solenoid from water and contaminants. This allows vent solenoid to function properly.
2. Install shield on [1][2]EVAP vent solenoid box.
NOTE: Ensure that vent pipe is properly positioned in retainer on fuel filler pipe lower attachment.
3. Install vent pipe hose to vent solenoid and secure with clamp.
4. Install lower fuel fill neck retainer bolt.
Torque: 13 N.m (9.5 ft-lbs)
5. Tighten fuel fill neck inlet nut.
Torque: 2.5 N.m (22 in-lbs)
6. Perform "Service Bay Diagnostic Test" for evaporative emission system using Scan tool. This test will verify integrity of vapor handling areas of fuel system.
