Remedy as necessary.
Was a fault detected?
Yes - ANOTHER TEST
No - Replacing the component
------------------------

Continue - ANOTHER TEST
------------------------
Replacing the component
Try a new EVAP canister shut-off valve according to Replacing the shut-off valve for the carbon filter container Replacing the Shut-Off Valve For the Carbon Filter Container.
Continue - ANOTHER TEST
------------------------
Checking the fuel tank system
- Ignition off.
- Carefully pressurize the fuel tank system to 7 kPa. The cock must be at right angles to the hoses.
Note! Max 10 kPa.
Check the fuel tank system by spraying soapy water from the EVAP canister to the canister purge (CP) valve. Also spray the line between the fuel tank and the EVAP canister shut-off valve. Also check the filler pipe and the fuel tank filler cap.
It may be necessary to lower the fuel tank in order to fault-trace hoses and connectors on top of the fuel tank.
Remedy the leakage.
