Remedy as necessary.

Other information:
- To access and replace the fuel tank pressure sensor (C70/S70/V70), see Replacing fuel tank pressure sensor Service and Repair.

Was a fault detected?

Yes - ANOTHER TEST

No - Replacing the component

------------------------

Replacing the component
Try a new fuel tank pressure sensor (C70/S70/V70) according to Replacing fuel tank pressure sensor Service and Repair.







Continue - ANOTHER TEST

------------------------

Replacing the component
Try a new EVAP canister shut-off valve (C70/S70/V70) .







Continue - ANOTHER TEST

------------------------

Checking the fuel tank system




- Ignition off.
- Carefully pressurize the fuel tank system to 7 kPa. The cock must be at right angles to the hoses.

Note! Max 10 kPa.

Check the fuel tank system: Spray soapy water from the EVAP canister to the canister purge (CP) valve. Also spray the line between the fuel tank and the EVAP canister shut-off valve. Also check the filler pipe and the fuel tank filler cap.
It may be necessary to lower the fuel tank in order to fault-trace hoses and connectors on top of the fuel tank.
Remedy the leakage.

Small leak

Test pressurization of the fuel tank system




- Max 50 liters of fuel in the fuel tank.
- Ignition off.
- Clamp the hose between the EVAP canister shut-off valve and the EVAP canister with a hose clip to seal it.
- Carefully disconnect the EVAP canister hose from the canister purge (CP) valve.
Connect manometer999 5646 Pressure gauge 999 5646 Pressure Gauge to the hose and the pressure regulator999 5544 REGULATOR 999 5544 Regulator to the manometer.
Set the pressure to 7 kPa (read off on the manometer999 5646 Pressure gauge 999 5646 Pressure Gauge.
The cock must be at right angles to the hoses.

Warning! Max 10 kPa.

Let the pressure build up for 5 minutes.
Close the cock (the pressure may now drop by 1-2 kPa before it stabilizes). Read off the pressure.
Turn the cock towards the EVAP canister hose.
Wait for 10 minutes.

Warning! Never leave the car unattended with its system pressurized.

The pressure must be stable (it may rise a little due to fuel evaporation).









Is the pressure stable?

Yes - Checking the hose to the EVAP canister shut-off valve

No - Checking the fuel tank system

Continue - ANOTHER TEST

------------------------

Checking the fuel tank system




- Ignition off.
- Carefully pressurize the fuel tank system to 7 kPa.
Turn the EVAP canister shut-off valve so that it is at a right angle to the hoses.

Warning! Max 10 kPa

Check the fuel tank system by spraying it with soapy water from the EVAP canister to the canister purge (CP) valve. Also spray the line with the pressure regulator and roll-over valve to the fuel tank. Also check the filler pipe and the fuel tank filler cap.
