EVAPORATIVE EMISSION SYSTEM
Revision: 2004 November 2004 FX35/FX45
EVAP SERVICE PORT
Positive pressure is delivered to the EVAP system through the EVAP
service port. If fuel vapor leakage in the EVAP system occurs, use a
leak detector to locate the leak.
Removal and InstallationABS00CFT
EVAP CANISTER
Tighten EVAP canister as shown in the figure.
EVAP CANISTER VENT CONTROL VALVE
1. Turn EVAP canister vent control valve counterclockwise.
2. Remove the EVAP canister vent control valve.
Always replace O-ring with a new one.
How to Detect Fuel Vapor LeakageABS00CFU
CAUTION:

Do not use compressed air or a high pressure pump.

Do not exceed 4.12 kPa (0.042 kg/cm2 , 0.6 psi) of pressure in EVAP system.
NOTE:

Do not start engine.

Improper installation of EVAP service port adapter to the EVAP service port may cause a leak.

CUSTOMER INTERVIEW
Interview the customer if possible, to determine the conditions that exist when the noise occurs.Use the Diag-
nostic Worksheet during the interview to document the facts and conditions when the noise occurs and any
customer's comments; refer to EI-9, "
Diagnostic Worksheet" . This information is necessary to duplicate the
conditions that exist when the noise occurs.

The customer may not be able to provide a detailed description or the location of the noise. Attempt to
obtain all the facts and conditions that exist when the noise occurs (or does not occur).

If there is more than one noise in the vehicle, be sure to diagnose and repair the noise that the customer
is concerned about. This can be accomplished by test driving the vehicle with the customer.

After identifying the type of noise, isolate the noise in terms of its characteristics.The noise characteristics
are provided so the customer, service adviser and technician are all speaking the same language when
defining the noise.

Squeak —(Like tennis shoes on a clean floor)
Squeak characteristics include the light contact/fast movement/brought on by road conditions/hard sur-
faces=higher pitch noise/softer surfaces=lower pitch noises/edge to surface=chirping

Creak—(Like walking on an old wooden floor)
Creak characteristics include firm contact/slow movement/twisting with a rotational movement/pitch
dependent on materials/often brought on by activity.

Rattle—(Like shaking a baby rattle)
Rattle characteristics include the fast repeated contact/vibration or similar movement/loose parts/missing
clip or fastener/incorrect clearance.

Knock —(Like a knock on a door)
Knock characteristics include hollow sounding/sometimes repeating/often brought on by driver action.

Tick—(Like a clock second hand)
Tick characteristics include gentle contacting of light materials/loose components/can be caused by driver
action or road conditions.

Thump—(Heavy, muffled knock noise)
Thump characteristics include softer knock/dead sound often brought on by activity.

Buzz—(Like a bumble bee)
Buzz characteristics include high frequency rattle/firm contact.

Often the degree of acceptable noise level will vary depending upon the person. A noise that you may
judge as acceptable may be very irritating to the customer.

Weather conditions, especially humidity and temperature, may have a great effect on noise level.

17. Obtain compression TDC of No. 1 cylinder as follows:
NOTE:
When timing chain is not removed/installed, this step is not required.
a. Rotate crankshaft pulley clockwise to align timing mark (grooved
line without color) with timing indicator.
b. Make sure intake and exhaust cam noses on No. 1 cylinder
(engine front side of right bank) are located as shown in the fig-
ure.

If not, turn crankshaft one revolution (360°) and align as
shown.
NOTE:
When only primary timing chain is removed, rocker cover
does not need to be removed. To confirm that No. 1 cylinder is
at its compression TDC, remove front timing chain case first.
Then check mating marks on camshaft sprockets. Refer to
EM-63, "
TIMING CHAIN" .
18. Remove crankshaft pulley with the following procedure:
a. Remove rear cover plate (2WD) or starter motor (AWD) and set
ring gear stopper (SST) as shown in the figure. Refer to SC-10,
"STARTING SYSTEM" .
b. Loosen crankshaft pulley bolt and locate bolt seating surface as
10 mm (0.39 in) from its original position.
CAUTION:
Do not remove crankshaft pulley bolt as it will be used as a
supporting point for suitable puller.

d. Put a paint mark on crankshaft pulley aligning with angle mark
on crankshaft pulley bolt. Then, further retighten bolt by “60”
degrees (equivalent to one graduation)].
11. Rotate crankshaft pulley in normal direction (clockwise when viewed from front) to confirm it turns
smoothly.
12. For the following operations, perform steps in the reverse order of removal.
NOTE:
If hydraulic pressure inside chain tensioner drops after removal/installation, slack in the guide may gener-
ate a pounding noise during and just after engine start. However, this is normal. Noise will stop after
hydraulic pressure rises.
INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION

Before starting engine, check the levels of engine coolant, lubrications and working fluid. If less than
required quantity, fill to the specified level.

Run engine to check for unusual noise and vibration.

Warm up engine thoroughly to make sure there is no leakage of engine coolant, engine oil and working
fluid, fuel and exhaust gas.

Bleed air from passages in pipes and tubes of applicable lines, such as in cooling system.

After cooling down engine, again check amounts of engine coolant, engine oil and working fluid. Refill to
specified level, if necessary.
