Every five years or 50,000 miles (80,000 km), the Evaporative Emissions System
(EES) should be inspected as follows:
- Disconnect the fuel vapor vent line at the vapor/liquid separator on the
fuel tank and at the canister, blow it clean with compressed air, or have
this done at a repair shop. Remove the filler cap and check the seal for
cracks or breaks. If necessary, replace the cap.
- Replace the canister (if necessary — refer to the owner
manual for service mileage interval). To do this, mark and then disconnect
all hoses. Unclamp and remove the canister. To Install:
- Position the new or cleaned old canister back into the original position
and refasten the clamps, which hold it in place.
- Reconnect the hoses to their corresponding fittings.
- Attach the filler cap, either the new one or the old one if still in adequate
condition, and connect the fuel vapor vent line to the vapor/liquid separator
and canister.
