Description
The evaporative emission (EVAP) Service Bay Test raises the engine coolant temperature
(ECT) threshold so that the temperature sensitive EVAP diagnosis tests can run while
in service environments. When the EVAP tests are run the service bay test will indicate
a passed or will indicate a specific DTC code has failed. The EVAP service bay test
can be used to verify an existing condition and verify that the EVAP system is OK
after a repair is completed.
