SYSTEM TEST

The System Test function lets you initiate a leak test for the vehicle's
EVAP system.

The Scan Tool does not perform the leak test, but signals to
vehicle's on-board computer to initiate the test. The vehicle
manufacturer determines the criteria and method for stopping
the test once it has been started. BEFORE using the System
Test
function, refer to the vehicle's service repair manual to
determine the procedures necessary to stop the test.

the UP

necessary, to highlight System Test,

systems. If the EVAP Leak Test is
not supported by the vehicle
under test, an advisory message
shows on the Scan Tool's display.
Press the ENTER/LD

button
