Worldwide Diagnostic System (WDS)
  

SPECIAL TOOL(S)

CAUTION: The canister vent solenoid must not be energized for more than nine minutes at one time. Once the canister vent solenoid is energized and de-energized, adequate time must be allowed for the component to cool adequately. Failure to allow the component to cool may create a false failure in the diagnostics, causing unnecessary repairs.

  1. Connect the scan tool and select the output test mode.
  2. Select the Fuel Tank Pressure (FTP) and the Volts (V) Parameter Identification (PID) for monitoring.
  3. Select the ALL OFF mode.
  4. Close the canister vent solenoid by pushing the START button on the scan tool.
