The vehicle (where a record says)

A record is under an engine, a drive or a series only where it says so: the characters of the vehicle identification number filed with a complaint, its text, or what its document says it applies to. A record that does not say is kept as "not stated". The filed numbers and the documents do not tell 4WD from AWD.

Common on this vehicle:Gauge or instrument faultWarning lightAir conditioning or heaterLights (headlights, turn signals)NoiseLoss of engine power, no accelerationSmoke or fireLeak

Record by record

353 records state a cause or a remedy. Each record is shown as short labels in the order fault → finding the cause → correction. Press a label to narrow to the records that state it.

Symptom

Component named as the cause

Work done

How it is said to have ended

  • says it was fixed2
  • says it held for a while4
  • says it came back10
  • says it did not fix it12
  • result not stated20

A ribbon is as wide as the records that state both of its ends (only the commonest are drawn). A record that names several symptoms or components runs through each. Orange is records that say the fault came back or was not fixed. Results come from owners’ reports only; one that does not say is “result not stated”. None of this is a likelihood of a cause or a rate at which work succeeds.

    EVAP System Leak Diagnosis for MIL with DTCs P0442/P0455

    1. 1Fault

      • The MIL is illuminated and DTC P0442 (EVAP small leak detected) and/or P0455 (EVAP large leak detected) is set in the Engine Control Module (ECM).

    2. 2Finding the cause

      Possible causes

      • DTC P0455 sets for a large leak or a purge blockage; a large leak can come from an unseated tube connection, a damaged tube, a stuck open canister vent valve or a stuck closed purge valve.
      • DTC P0442 sets for a small leak, which can come from a stuck open purge valve or a stuck open canister vent valve.

      Steps to confirm (in the document’s order)

      1. Inspect all purge connections for proper installation and look for damage or wear along the lines; if damage is seen, confirm with the smoke test.
      2. Some leaks show only under pressure and some only under vacuum, so check both ways.
      3. Cycling the purge and vent solenoids with GDS2 while inspecting may indicate a sticking valve.
      4. Critical connections on the engine side: purge tube to purge valve at the intake manifold, purge tube to chassis EVAP line at the rear of the engine near the transmission, and chassis EVAP line to canister.
      5. Critical connections on the tank side: fuel tank load line to canister, vent valve line to vent valve, fuel tank load line jumper connection near the fuel tank, and the fuel tank cap being closed properly.
