PHASE 2 - LEAK DETECTION
The ECM energizes the Change Over Valve allowing the pressurized air to enter the fuel sys-
tem through the Charcoal Canister, The ECM monitors the current flow and compares it
with the stored reference measurement over a duration of time.
Once the test is concluded, the ECM stops the pump motor and immediately de-energizes
the change over valve. This allows the stored pressure to vent thorough the charcoal can-
ister trapping hydrocarbon vapor and venting air to atmosphere through the filter.

TEST RESULTS
The time duration varies between 45 & 270 seconds depending on the resulting leak diag-
nosis test results (developed tank pressure “amperage” / within a specific time period).
However the chart below depicts the logic used to determine fuel system leaks.
