Excess Vacuum Tests

TEST DESCRIPTION

The control module monitors the fuel tank pressure sensor signal during the normal purging of the EVAP canister under various driving conditions in order to detect a malfunction in the fuel tank vent control components. If the Excess Vacuum tests run and pass the Purge Valve Leak Test will run. If the Excess Vacuum tests run and fail, a DTC P0446 is set.
