When to replace an evaporative emission control canister?

When the EVAP emissions canister fails it triggers an OBD-II error code (0499) collected by the vehicle’s ECM and tells a mechanic that there is a pressure problem with the EVAP system. If the EVAP canister is damaged or not working properly, it needs to be replaced, as it can’t be serviced or repaired on the vehicle.

When to reset the Check Engine light after replacing an EVAP canister?

Why does my car not pass emissions yet?

Something is wrong with the ECM. It should have reset itself. Once the battery was replaced, the computer ‘lost’ it’s memory of how the car was running, and it sets an emissions tag to ‘not ready’. This is why it will not pass emissions yet.

The engine must be run for two and a half minutes with the air conditioner on and rear defroster on. The more electrical load you can apply the better. This will test the O2 heater, Passive Air, Purge “No Flow”, Misfire and if closed loop is achieved, Fuel Trim. Accelerate.

What does it mean when your OBD monitor is not ready?

All of the OBD monitors must also be complete for your vehicle to be test ready. On this Innova scan tool, the emissions ready status is shown with colored LED lights.

Why is my O2 sensor on my heater not working?

But there are other possible causes for a heater DTC. Before screwing in a new sensor, this simple test will determine whether everything else is in order.

What kind of heater to use for O2 sensor?

When testing the O 2 sensor’s heater circuit, I found using a #7440 incandescent light bulb and socket very helpful. You connect the light to the vehicle’s O 2 sensor heater harness in place of the sensor. The light bulb draws about 1.75A at 12V.
