NO - If the screen indicates FAILED, check for poor connections or loose terminals at the EVAP canister vent shut valve and the ECM/PCM, then go to step 1. If the screen indicates NOT COMPLETED, go to step 20 and recheck.
23. Update the ECM/PCM if it does not have the latest software, or substitute a known-good ECM/PCM.
24. Select EVAP CVS ON in the INSPECTION MENU with the HDS.
25. Check for Temporary DTCs or DTCs with the HDS.
Is DTC P0499 indicated?
YES - Check for poor connections or loose terminals at the EVAP canister vent shut valve and the ECM/PCM. If the ECM/PCM was updated, substitute a known-good ECM/PCM, then go to step 24. If the ECM/PCM was substituted, go to step 1.
NO - If Temporary DTC or DTC P0499 is not indicated, or if any other Temporary DTCs or DTCs are indicated, go to step 26.
26. Monitor the OBD STATUS for DTC P0499 in the DTCs MENU with the HDS.
Does the screen indicate PASSED?
YES - If the ECM/PCM was updated, troubleshooting is complete. If the ECM/PCM was substituted, replace the original ECM/PCM. If any other Temporary DTCs or DTCs was indicated on step 25, go to the indicated DTC's troubleshooting.
NO - If the screen indicates FAILED, check for poor connections or loose terminals at the EVAP canister vent shut valve and the ECM/PCM. If the ECM/PCM was updated, substitute a known-good ECM/PCM, then go to step 24. If the ECM/PCM was substituted, go to step 1. If the screen indicates NOT COMPLETED, go to step 24 and recheck.
