Other diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs)
Note! Any other diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) in EMS2000 must be remedied and erased before this fault-tracing can be carried out.
Are any other diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) stored?
Yes - Other diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs), continued
No - Checking the connectors and components

Yes - Erasing diagnostic trouble code (DTC)
No - DONE

Erasing diagnostic trouble code (DTC)
- Ignition on
- Erase diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs).
Select "Continue" when the diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) have been erased.
Continue - Checking the connectors and components
-------------------------------------------------
Checking the connectors and components
- Ignition off
- Check the filter (1) between the leak diagnostic pump and the EVAP canister for blockage
- Check if the hoses between the leak diagnostic pump and the EVAP canister and between the EVAP canister and the fuel tank are blocked
- Remedy as necessary.
Other information:
- To expose the EVAP canister,
Was a fault detected?
No - Replacing the component
Yes - Verification
-------------------------------------------------
Replacing the component
- Replace the leak diagnostic pump according to Replacing the leak diagnostic pump Removal and Replacement.
Select Continue.

Hint: After carrying out the repair, check that the fault has been remedied.
Note! This test cannot be performed if there are diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) stored in EMS2000.
- Reinstall the components, reconnect the connectors etc.
- Ignition on
- Check that no other diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) are stored. If other diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) are stored, these must be remedied and erased first.
Are any other diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) stored?

No - Activating the leak diagnostic
------------------------
Activating the leak diagnostic
Hint: If the test does not launch, this could be because the evaporative emission system (EVAP) control has not been active above a certain level. The control must change the level between each quick test carried out. The level is reached by allowing the engine to idle for approximately 5 minutes.
- Start the engine. Allow the engine to idle.
Note! The engine must be idling throughout the test.
- Clicking the VCT2000 symbol to activate the leak diagnostic
- Wait until the engine coolant temperature (ECT) exceeds 60 °C
- Start the leak diagnostic. YES is displayed during leak diagnostics
- Wait until the leak diagnostic is complete. Leak diagnostic active NO and leak diagnostic complete YES is displayed when the leak diagnostic is complete.
Hint: The time taken for the diagnostic varies depending on the fault status of the fuel tank system. The diagnostic process may take up to 4 minutes.
- Read off the results of the leak diagnostic. The leak diagnostic results are read off automatically when the test has been correctly completed
- The OK status will be displayed if the control module has not detected any faults. The Not OK status, and a number from 1-8 will be displayed if the control module has detected any faults. To interpret these faults, see the status definitions below.
Note! The status types can be translated into diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs). However they are not stored as DTCs during this test.
- Click the stop button to re-run the test.
Status definitions:
- OK = The system is free of faults
- Not OK, status 1 = Leak diagnostic pump, signal too low. (ECM-65, signal too low)
- Not OK, status 2 = Leak diagnostic pump, signal too high. (ECM-65, signal too high)
- Not OK, status 3 = Leak diagnostic pump, faulty signal. (ECM-65, faulty signal)
- Not OK, status 4 = Leak diagnostic pump, blocked hose. (ECM-66, signal too low)
- Not OK, status 5 = Leakage 0.5 mm. (ECM-68, minor leak)
- Not OK, status 6 = Leakage 1 mm. (ECM-68, major leak)
- Not OK, status 7 = Leakage larger than 1 mm. (ECM-68, Fuel tank filler cap missing)
- Not OK, status 8 = Evaporative emission (EVAP) system blocked. (ECM-6A, signal too low).
Select a suitable alternative to continue:
1. The status is OK
2. Status Not OK (for the current diagnostic trouble code (DTC)) has been detected
3. Status Not OK, (for another diagnostic trouble code (DTC)) has been detected.

3 - Fault-tracing information:
------------------------
Fault-tracing information:
- The control module has detected a fault other than the one that affects the relevant diagnostic trouble code (DTC). This may be because a fault occurred during the fault-tracing. Check that the hoses, connectors and components etc have been correctly reinstalled. Check that they are not damaged.
Select Continue.
Continue - VERIFIED
------------------------
Fault-tracing information:
- This diagnostic trouble code (DTC) cannot be verified before other DTCs have been remedied and erased
- Fault-trace, remedy and erase other diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) first. Then select this diagnostic trouble code (DTC) to perform verification.
Select Continue.
