DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC) INFORMATION




Condition
when the EVAP canister shut-off valve is closed the fuel tank system should be sealed. When the EVAP canister purge (CP) valve is activated the fuel tank pressure must fall to a set negative pressure or it will be interpreted as a major leak. Then the canister purge (CP) valve closes. Fuel tank pressure must then remain within certain limits or it will be interpreted as a minor leak. Diagnostic trouble code (DTC) ECM-4308 is stored if the control module registers a minor or major leak.

Condition
None.
