It may cost from $ 40 to $ 110, but it works pretty well for detecting
EVAP leaks.
Extensive amounts of time are used to detect vacuum leaks without testing for proper operation of
the EVAP leak detection pump.
Uses a scan tool to activate
the EVAP Leak Detection Pump, and listens to see if it can be heard turning on and off.
Repairs or replaces any circuits, connectors, or components that are open or shorted (if
the EVAP Leak Detection Pump does not turn on when it is activated or if it does not pass these tests, it will need to be replaced)

A: One particular area that often causes
an EVAP leak in these trucks is a cracked rubber hose near the EVAP service port.
Evap leak somewhere so the dashboard says «gas cap».

I bet you've got a
leak in the
EVAP system that's allowing fuel vapors out.
So far, I have replaced 2 air sensors, a catalytic converter, a speed sensor, fixed an
EVAP system
leak.
The EPA started to require that
leaking gasoline fumes be reduced to virtually zero, and the
EVAP system on every current car is controlled largely by — you guessed it — engine vacuum.
The smoke will come out of any area of the
EVAP system that is
leaking.
Vacuum
leaks are not discovered and repaired before replacing
EVAP components.
Inspects vacuum hoses and fuel vapor lines and
EVAP vacuum lines for breaks or bends (these lines can be very long so time should be taken when inspecting them; it may be necessary to use a smoke machine to find
leaks successfully, especially small
leaks that are difficult to see)
The P2403 diagnostic trouble code (DTC) is an indication that the evaporative emission (
EVAP) control system
leak detection pump sensor has an open circuit.
The code was for the «
evap» system, therefore, if it wasn't repaired correctly the first time, why not keep the vehicle and go through the entire «
evap» system and find the
leak, which is what was finally done.
During the
leak test, the ECM seals off the
EVAP system by closing both, the vent control valve and the purge control valve (solenoid).
What can cause the code P0446: - faulty vent control valve - blockage at the vent hose, vent filter or vent control valve - open or short in the vent control valve circuit - bad charcoal canister -
EVAP system
leak - faulty
EVAP system pressure sensor - bad vacuum switching valve (VSV)(Toyota, Lexus)- stuck open purge valve (solenoid) Examples: - A GM technical service bulletin for 1999 - 2007 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra describes a problem when if the vehicle is driven in dusty environment, the dust can enter into the canister vent hose and cause restricted air flow that can set the code P0446.
The vent control valve closes when the ECM performs the
leak test of the
EVAP system.
It closes when the engine computer tests the
EVAP system for
leaks.
Nissan Maxima problems: Common problems include a faulty alternator, noisy timing chain, oil and coolant
leaks and the «service engine soon» (emission control related) issues like bad camshaft position sensor (CMP) or crankshaft position sensor (CKP), dirty air flow sensor, faulty ignition coils, catalytic converter,
EVAP system issues.
