SYSTEM TESTS (EVAPORATIVE EMISSION)
NOTE: On Cougar, evaporative emission diagnostic procedures are not available

from manufacturer.
NOTE: Prior to performing any system test, see HOW TO USE SYSTEM TESTS
under SYSTEM TESTS. If instructed to replace Powertrain Control Module
(PCM) after performing a system test, new PCM must be programmed. See
PROGRAMMING PCM.
Perform these tests when instructed during QUICK TEST or if directed here from another article or from
DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE DEFINITIONS. Perform appropriate evaporative emission system
test. See EVAPORATIVE EMISSIONS DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE DEFINITIONS. For
emission-related symptom tests, see EXCESSIVE FUEL ODOR, HISSING SOUND WHEN REMOVING
FUEL CAP or UNABLE TO REFUEL VEHICLE under EVAPORATIVE EMISSION SYSTEM TESTS in
appropriate SYSTEM & COMPONENT TESTING article.
NOTE: To identify EVAP system components, see appropriate illustration. See Fig.

CANISTER VENT SOLENOID CLOSING PROCEDURE
Connect scan tool to Data Link Connector (DLC) and select OUTPUT TEST MODE under
ADDITIONAL SYSTEM FUNCTIONS. Turn ignition switch to ON position. Select FTP and FTP V PID
from PID/DATA MONITOR & RECORD menu. Select ALL OFF mode. Close canister vent solenoid by
pressing START button on scan tool.
EVAPORATIVE EMISSIONS SYSTEM LEAK TEST
2002 Ford Focus LX
Connect Evaporative Emissions System Leak Tester (134-00056) to EVAP test port. Close canister vent
solenoid. See CANISTER VENT SOLENOID CLOSING PROCEDURE. Pressurize EVAP system to 14
in. H2 O (3.48 kPa). Monitor system pressure for 2 minutes. EVAP system pressure should not fall below 8
in. H2 O (2 kPa). Repair leaks as necessary. Repeat EVAP system leak test until system pressure remains
more than 8 in. H2 O (2 kPa) after 2 minutes.
EVAPORATIVE EMISSION REPAIR VERIFICATION DRIVE CYCLE
NOTE: The following procedure is designed to execute and complete

EVAPORATIVE EMISSION REPAIR VERIFICATION DRIVE CYCLE and to clear
DTC P1000, inspection and maintenance (I/M) readiness code. When ambient
air temperature is less than 40F (4.4C), or more than 100F (37.8C), or
altitude is above 8000 feet, EVAP monitor will not run. If DTC P1000 must be
cleared in these conditions, PCM must detect them once (twice on some
applications) before EVAP monitor can be by-passed and DTC P1000
cleared. EVAP by-passing procedure is described in the following drive
cycle.
Drive Cycle Recommendations
1. Most OBD-II monitors will complete more readily using a steady foot driving style during cruise or
acceleration modes. Operating throttle in a smooth fashion will minimize time necessary for monitor
completion.
2. Fuel tank level should be between 1/2 and 3/4 full, with 3/4 full being most desirable.
3. Evaporative monitor can only operate during first 30 minutes of engine operation. When executing the
procedure for this monitor, stay in part throttle mode and drive in a smooth fashion to minimize fuel
slosh.
NOTE: For best results, follow each of the following steps as accurately as possible.
Drive Cycle Preparation
NOTE: This step by-passes engine soak timer and resets OBD-II monitor
status.
4) Install scan tool to Data Link Connector (DLC). Turn ignition switch to ON position. Cycle
ignition switch to OFF position, then back to ON position. Using scan tool, select appropriate vehicle
and engine qualifier. Clear all DTCs and perform PCM RESET PROCEDURE under CLEARING
CODES under SELF-DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM.
5) Using scan tool, access and monitor ECT, EVAPDC, FLI (if available), and TP MODE PIDs from
PID/DATA MONITOR & RECORD menu, press "Trigger" to select each PID, then press "Start".
6) Start engine and allow to idle. DO NOT allow ignition switch to return to OFF position.
Preparation For Monitor Entry
WARNING: Strict observance of posted speed limits and attention to driving

conditions are mandatory when proceeding through drive cycle.
2002 Ford Focus LX
NOTE: This step allows engine warm-up and provides Intake Air Temperature
(IAT) input to PCM.
7) Allow engine to idle for 15 seconds. Drive vehicle at 40 MPH until ECT PID is at least 170F
(76.7C).
8) If IAT PID is more than 40F (4.4C) and less than 100F (37.8C), go to next step. If not, continue
with following steps, but note that step 13) EVAP Monitor By-pass portion of drive cycle will be
required to by-pass EVAP monitor and clear DTC P1000.
NOTE: This step executes Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) monitor.
9) Drive vehicle at 40 MPH for 60 seconds.
NOTE: This step executes EVAP monitor if IAT is more than 40F (4.4C) and
less than 100F (37.8C).
NOTE: To initiate monitor, TP MODE should equal PT, EVAPDC must be more
than 75 percent, and FLI must be 15-85 percent.
NOTE: Avoid sharp turns and hills.
10) Drive vehicle at 45-65 MPH for 10 minutes.
NOTE: This step executes ISC portion of Secondary Air/CCM.
11) Bring vehicle to a stop. Allow engine to idle with transmission in Drive (A/T) or Neutral (M/T)
for two minutes.
Pending DTC & EVAP Monitor By-Pass Check
NOTE: This determines if a pending DTC is preventing the clearing of DTC

P1000.
NOTE: If EVAP monitor is not complete and IAT was less than 40F (4.4C) or
more than 100F (37.8C) temperature range in step 8) , or altitude is
above 8000 feet, step 13) EVAP Monitor By-pass must be performed.
12) Using scan tool, check for pending DTCs. Service pending DTCs as necessary. Rerun any
incomplete monitor.
EVAP Monitor By-Pass
NOTE: This step allows by-pass counter to increment to two. DO NOT repeat
step 4) .
13) Park vehicle for a minimum of eight hours. Repeat steps 5)-12) .
