3. When the parameter has changed to Yes and the conditions are safe, stop and idle the vehicle in gear.

4. Apply the service brake.

5. Monitor the scan tool Catalyst Monitor Test State parameter. When the parameter indicates Active, the Catalyst Monitor Test is running.

6. Continue to monitor the parameter. When the parameter indicates Inactive, the Catalyst Monitor Test has completed.

7. When the test has completed, the Catalyst Monitor Test Counter Bank 1 or Bank 2 parameter will increment by one and the Catalyst Monitor

Test Result Bank 1 or Bank 2 parameter will indicate Pass, Fail, or No Decision.

瀚慖f no decision has been made, repeat steps 2-6 until the Test Result parameter indicates a Pass or Fail.

Diagnostic Instructions

* Perform the Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle (See: Testing and Inspection/Initial Inspection and Diagnostic Overview/Diagnostic System

Check - Vehicle) prior to using this diagnostic procedure.

* Review Strategy Based Diagnosis (See: Testing and Inspection/Initial Inspection and Diagnostic Overview/Strategy Based Diagnosis) for an

overview of the diagnostic approach.

* Diagnostic Procedure Instructions (See: Testing and Inspection/Initial Inspection and Diagnostic Overview/Diagnostic Procedure

Instructions) provides an overview of each diagnostic category.

DTC Descriptor

DTC P0442

- Evaporative Emission (EVAP) System Small Leak Detected

Circuit/System Description

The engine off natural vacuum (EONV) test is the small leak detection diagnostic for the evaporative emission system. This diagnostic tests the

evaporative emission (EVAP) system for a small leak when the key is turned OFF and the correct conditions are met. Heat from the exhaust system

is transferred into the fuel tank while the vehicle is operating. When the vehicle is turned OFF and the EVAP system is sealed a change in the fuel

tank vapor temperature occurs which results in a corresponding pressure change in the fuel tank vapor space. This change is monitored by the ECM

using the fuel tank pressure sensor input. With a leak in the system, the amount of pressure change will be less than that of a sealed system.

P2120, P2122, P2123, P2125, P2127, P2128, P2135, P2138 are not set.

* The ignition 1 voltage is between 10-16 volts.

* The barometric pressure (BARO) is greater than 74 kPa.

* No fuel filling during the EONV test period.

* The fuel level is between 15-85 percent.

* The start-up engine coolant temperature (ECT) and the start-up intake air temperature (IAT) are between 0-40掳C (32-104掳F).

* The barometric pressure (BARO) is more than 74 kPa.

* The engine run time before engine shut-off was greater than 10 minutes.

* The drive distance before engine shut-off was more than 5 kilometers (3.1 miles).

* The ignition is OFF.

* The ambient air temperature at the end of the drive cycle is between 0-32掳C (32-93掳F).

* DTC P0442 runs once per drive cycle during the hot soak period after the ignition is turned OFF and may require up to 45 minutes to

complete. The controller will not make more than 2 test attempts per day. The time since the last completed EONV test must be at least 17

hours

Conditions for Setting the DTC

* The ECM detects a leak in the EVAP system that is greater than a calibrated amount.

* The ECM must complete several EONV tests before the diagnostic can turn the MIL on or off.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets
