Two-Way Valve: Testing and Inspection
1. Remove the fuel fill cap.
2. Remove the vapor line from the EVAP two way valve (located at left side of engine compartment), and connect it to a T-fitting from a vacuum
gauge and a vacuum pump as shown.
3. Apply vacuum slowly and continuously while watching the gauge. The vacuum should stabilize momentarily at 0.8 - 2.1 kPa 16 - 16 mmHg, 0.2 -
0.6 in.Hg).
If the vacuum stabilizes (valve opens) below 0.8 kPa (6 mmHg, 0.2 in.Hg) or above 2.1 kPa (16 mmHg, 0.6 in.Hg), install a new valve and
retest.
4. Move the vacuum pump hose from the vacuum fitting to the pressure fitting, and move the vacuum gauge hose from the vacuum side to the
pressure side as shown.
5. Slowly pressurize the vapor line while watching the gauge. The pressure should be stabilize momentarily above 1.0 kPa (8 mmHg, 0.3 in.Hg).
-
If the pressure momentarily stabilizes (valve opens) above 1.0 kPa (8 mmHg, 0.3 in.Hg), the valve is OK.
-
If the pressure stabilizes below 1.0 kPa (8 mmHg,0.3 in.Hg), install a new valve and retest.
