This is the most informative evap video I have seen so far! Thank you for the in-depth diagnostic demonstrations regarding the vacuum and smoke tests with the test setup.
outstanding job Mike. Toyota intrusive is a subject that most technicians avoid religiously.
Thanks Kevin! It is a tricky system. I hope this video really helps everyone understand exactly what they are working with, that way they no longer have to avoid it, and can finally make money on it!
Mike Becker, Technical Services Instructor
very useful information about toyota’s evap systems. thank you very much for making this content.
Glad it was helpful!
Mike Becker, Senior Instructor
Amazing video, very thorough
Hey Xdgbx, thanks!
Mike Becker, Technical Services Instructor
Missed the live feed so just getting to this one Mike. Wow, lot's of info and tips here. I appreciate all of the prep work that you must have done for this video. I also appreciate the fact that you take time to make and share the marked diagrams. Looking forward to seeing you use the Bulls Eye detector. Looking forward to Part 2! Great job as always and thanks!
I missed ya on the last one! Good to see you're back! Thanks a lot, lots of prep work, but hearing all of the appreciation from you guys makes it all well worth my time :) I'm on the hunt for a car to test that tool on. Video should be happening soon...I hope! See ya for part 2. Have a great weekend!
Mike Becker, Technical Services Instructor
love your videos mike. for a DIY'er like myself this info is invaluable!!!
Thanks Sauce Boss! Just here to help! Glad you enjoyed the class!

would u say the launch is better than the verus or maybe equal to Or not quite as good??? I have a verus edge but I'm looking to either get an autel or the launch as a second tool seeing as sometimes my verus is not so nice with eurp cars!!!
euro*
It is too early to tell. I like both tools a lot. I love having multiple scanners. That way if I run into a situation like I did with these 2 Toyotas, I can always try a different tool and hope it works! I am actually looking into purchasing myself an Autel Maxisys tool shortly here. So, i'll have all 3 to compare.
Mike Becker, Technical Services Instructor
Man, really had no idea how the Toyota system works.......wait never mind, i still dont, LOL. I guess when i get a toyota i will have to play with it. Thanks this was very informative.
Nice set up
Great video
Thanks for watching Richard! Glad you liked it :)

Love the vids, I don’t know why they had to complicate a relatively simple system.
Hey Keithy4129, i know, right! Gotta love how they like to over complicate things.
Mike Becker, Senior Technical Instructor
It's a valid statement. All of the other auto manufacturers have EVAP systems that are much more simple compared to the over complicated Toyota designs. Interestingly enough the simpler designs work great, hence the comment.
Complicated though they may be, my 2000 4Runner with over 300k miles has never had a problem with the evap system.
Thanks for the video. I replaced the gas cap and checked all the vacuum line and no crack. But still shows the code p0456. Any help is appreciated.
Mike, very well done. Quick Question. in this intrusive late model system, reference 1:09:19 in this video, when bypass valve is closed(normal state) does Fuel tank side connect to vent valve(normally open) OR Vent valve is not on fuel tank side. I assume fuel tank side is connected to vent valve when bypass valve is closed.
Also when pressure is building up in Fuel tank because of warm or hot day and vent valve is open. I see that pressure will leak thru vent valve and FTP will not read pressure at all, because vent valve is open. should not ECM command vent valve to close to read fTP fuel pressure. But if you look at 1:09:19 video, pressure build up even though vent valve is open.
Hey Sivaraj, thanks for watching! The system is normally sealed up. The FTP reads the fuel tank pressure that will increase or decrease depending upon external influence. The bypass opens and connects the tank to he rest of the system to check for leaks. On this system you should hear pressure release when removing the gas cap.
Mike Becker, Senior Technical Instructor
@35:40 to confirm, the hose on the right that curves up out frame is the one that goes back to the intake manifold, correct? Is that a good place to do a seafoam spray treatment (vs taking off the entire air filter box to get to the throttle body)?
love your videos. i'm in Jamaica and i have a 2002 toyota Mark 2 Grande sometimes it will not start unless you open the gas cap and let out some pressure. i believe it has an evap problem can you do a video on this
Hey Kurt, thanks for watching! We have a video showing this issue on a Dodge Dart. Different system than your Toyota though. Most likely, you have a restriction in the system
~Mike
2002 Lexus ES300 V6 Code P0440 - What to look for? Replaced Gas Tank Cap already, No cracked hose then what els? Thanks
Hi Mike you made a video about Toyota , and i have same problems and same code on evap system just on camry 2007 with 2.4 lt the code ihave is po 441 and po 455 if can help me with the majeur leaks thanks.
is there a link to the powerpoint presentations on your videos? excellent job by the way
Hey Sneakypete123, no there is not. Only way to see it is in the video. Thanks for watching!

Got 4 code combination I believe all related to EVAP on 2010 Lexus RX450h:
P0441 - EVAP System Incorrect Purge Flow
P1421 - Evaporative Emission Canister Gross Leak
P1423 - Fuel Tank Gross Leak
P2450 - Fuel Vapor-Containment Valve Stuck Open
I've replaced fuel cap to the new one and I don't think it's leaking fuel anywhere (there's no odor or anything). Where should I start troubleshooting?
sir what causes or conditions did the purge solenoid will open is it when key on engine off or when engine running? and how long it will open is it pwm thanks
Hey Mr. Yabe, I don't know of any engines the open the purge with just the key on, engine off. During idle and driving conditions the PCM will pwm the purge open. This open amount depends on the load of the engine and the presumed fuel vapor capacity in the canister.

+Wells Vehicle Electronics "mabuhay from Philippines" sir thanks more power more viewers and hoping more videos to come .Ive learned a lot from you and from Wells thank you sir
Thanks for these good videos , it help me to clear up some confusion long time ago , but can you explain more on one point on your video , on 0:58:40 you said has vent solenoid , but on 1:03:38 you said there is no vent solenoid ,? are you meaning the same part ? Thanks a lot.
Sorry for the confusion, Toyota runs the vent solenoid as part of the vacuum pump. The car does not have a stand alone vent, only serviceable as part of a unit. Hope that clears it uP!
Mike Becker, Technical Services Instructor
Thanks for the clears up , Thanks.
Hello, how are you? I need an explanation of car inspection devices
Yes I have a 94 Lexus es 300 and i just bought the car payed 675 in back regestrarion and now I am trying to smog it to get in current registration. But I have a check engine light and a. Code p1600 ecm batt.. What does. This mean and how do I fix it and is it hard and will it be expensive to get done at a. Shop and how long should I expect it to take then to fix so I don't get ropped. Off
Hey Casey, that's a nearly impossible question to answer. A p1600 is related to an ECM power failure. Could be wiring, could be an ECM issue. It should be properly diagnosed. It could take 5 minutes, an hour, or 8 days to figure out. Best bet is to go to a reputable shop and trust them until they give you a reason not to.
Mike Becker, Senior Technical Instructor
just now watching this video over a year after its original posting and was wondering whats the answer to the wells tech question?
Ahhhh yes, this was a good one. Here check out this video, I explain the answer there. ua-cam.com/video/qdVNyZfdTVs/v-deo.html

Hello
Will my warranty be void If i clear the check engine light with the obd scanner. I have a EVAP leak in my 2016 Corolla P0455 and P0441 so i decided to get a new oem gas cap and remove the old one and then clear the check engine light with obd scanner. So will this void my car's warranty or is it safe to do this. ???
Thank you.
Hey Sami, I have never heard of clearing a the codes voiding the warranty. Best bet would be to contact your local Toyota dealer just to be sure.
Mike Becker, Senior Technical Instructor
I have P0441 and P0455 in my 08 Lexus IS350, and trying to diagnostic. I feel bad cause the solution might be in the information shared in this video, but damn I am having a hard time following the sequence of info thrown up here.
ivan is a very smart person
Thank you lol XD
What is the PSI output on the EVAP rated smoke machine?
Hi Allen, most EVAP smoke machines are calibrated to put out about 1 PSI...you don't want to be putting in much more than that. Over pressurizing could lead to solenoid or FTP damage.
Mike Becker, Technical Services Instructor
Mike, Excellent video. I'm not sure if you monitor new comments on a video this old but I have a question. When you were describing code P0441for the Intrusive system at 1:02 section of the video you mentioned it sets P0441 if vacuum is too high during purge flow. What does vacuum too high indicate? I have a 2001 Lexus with this issue. Where should I be looking for an issue with this car? During my evap test with my Snap on Solus scanner I get to step 5 of my test and the scanner says vacuum too high. I'm not sure what is supposed to happen for the ECU to determine this. This vehicle has a new OEM canister assy and continues to show this error during testing.
Hey Charlie, thanks for watching! I do my best to answer every comment/question that is asked. I have run into this before, sometimes its a software issue with Snap-On. First, verify the vacuum is high. Pull the gas cap and see if you hear that woosh. This system should hold some vacuum, but not too much. The relief valve should allow it to escape if it gets too high. Also, take a peek at the fuel tank pressure sensor. Make sure it reads 0 with the gas cap off.
Mike Becker, Senior Technical Instructor
Hi Mike, I was shocked to see that you replied, I really appreciate it. I've watched this video multiple time in order to understand the intrusive system that I'm having trouble with. I will eventually find and fix this issue of the recurring P0441 code, but it's been a struggle. I think the ECU is seeing a rise in vacuum in the system when the purge valve is commanded closed, but I'm not sure. I found conflicting information from different sources, one says this code is triggered when pressure in the canister doesn't drop during purge, and the other source indicates the code is triggered if vacuum didn't drop during purge "or" if the vacuum increased beyond a specified limit. I think this high vacuum could be my issue?
I can understand not being able to build vacuum due to a leak in the system, but the vacuum too high is questionable and vague. As I previously mentioned, I can only suspect a purge valve not turning off when commanded to after the system is put into vacuum being the cause of a high vac reading, thus triggering P0441?? I've also reached out to technicians help community for additional info but haven't learned anything different thus far.
If you come up with anything further please let me know.
I finally determined the ECU was at fault causing my P0441 code. I installed another ECU and the code hasn't returned since. The evap monitor has also run and passed. What a nightmare, but it's fixed.
Was there any visible signs on the ecu?
I know in the early 2000s toyota was switching to lead free solder and that was the problem with rav4s transmission problems, just curious if that's what caused yours
@@chasruss212r did you use a led light in replacement of the purge valve to watch it or does your scan tool actually see everything
I have a 2008 rav4 I'm dealing with this same bs atm, these ambiguous codes are a real money pit sometimes without the proper tools
fuel vapors moved the valve on detection pump and freed it
Hey Mike, what if this system doesn't use a leak detection pump?
Mike Becker, Technical Services Instructor
What do you mean when you say bleed out @1:19?
Hey Joe, the link's not working. What was the "bleed out" in reference to?

Question can a Toyota NA Gen 2 Prius bladder style of fuel system. Unique to NAmerica....can someone change to a non bladder style.... would the Corolla be a donor and is that a do able project??
Mark, not sure. Maybe Google will be able to help here. I've never heard of it being done, but that doesn't mean it's impossible.
Mike Becker, Senior Technical Instructor
Yeah all l am sure of is that the 2004-09 Toyota Prius Gen 2 are bladder fuel system tanks and there fore make fuel pump replace ment impossible and the after and before did away with bladder style
@@GoTechTraining you are Google to me ...l thought
What could cause leaking gas from charcoal canister on this system?
Hey Upkar Auto Solutions, that could be caused by someone constantly overfilling the gas tank...or a stuck open purge solenoid.
Mike Becker, Senior Instructor
@@GoTechTraining how could stuck open solenoid cause this?thank you
@@GoTechTraining do you mean stuck closed purge solenoid?
Hey, I have Lexus LS430, 2001. it is giving me code P0441.
Also, the car does not want to start after refill.
I changed gas cap but no effect. I took off the Purge valve solenoid from the car, one that is on the engine. When I blew from port A, air came out from port B and when I blew from Port B air came out of Port A. Does that mean that solenoid is bad?
Help will be appreciated.
Hey Irfan, yes if you can blow through the purge when it is not powered and grounded it has failed and in need of replacement. I think that will most likely solve your check engine light, as well as the hard starting issue after refueling.
Mike Becker, Technical Services Instructor
Thank you very much!
Update!
Hey, Need your help again, I changed the VSV 2 months ago and problem solved.Thank you so much for that. However, I still smell some gas when I stop the car. Today, Code P0440 turned on. I had changed tubing and tightened all the connectors that go from VSV to engine and VSV to down below. I wonder where this leak could be! Any help will be appreciated.
Hello I'm new to your channel, I have a 08 Highlander 3.5 l with the same code as Ifran p0441 I've checked all of the front vsv electrical components ( good)and I even hear the click sound after I turn off the ignition.

why are the audio/video out of sync on all your videos? I'd love to watch them but it's really obnoxious and makes them hard to follow
Hey A, sorry about that. UA-cam had some issue with the trim edits I made to the videos. I'm working to correct them. The processing takes a bit but they should be good to go very soon!

maybe if I had one of those shirts or hats to wear while I'm out applying for jobs, someone will see it and realize I know a thing or two and give me a chance to prove myself....I dunno...
How long video
how is this guy an instructor?? when hes so young. how much real life shop experience does he have?? its all book experience it seems. not being rude
Hey Phil, there's an age limit to being qualified? I spent almost 10 years in the shop professionally, at both the independent and the dealer level. I am also Master and L1 ASE certified. Age and shop experience, in my opinion, are not what make a technician or a trainer great. I've worked with a few people over the years with 20+ years of shop experience, sure they had a ton of stories of the good ole' days, but they weren't very good with electrical/diagnostics. Real life shop experience doesn't teach that. A yearning for knowledge and growth does. So the real question is, did you enjoy the class, have you learned something in your time spent here?
Mike Becker, Technical Services Instructor
Wells Vehicle Electronics Grow more beard, a belly and get a tattoo. No more unqualified questions. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
The book experience guy crapped on you.
Maybe you wish you had his job!
Even if he didn’t have shop experience he is very good at teaching “the theory“. Its up to you to put what you learn into practice!!!
GREAT CLASS!!!
Hi there I have being watching your videos on UA-cam and and I love your work.
I would like to ask you a question I have a 2005 volvo xc90 t6 2.9 with this code any help will do p2419 evaporative emission system switching valve control circuit low
1.5 hours to explain a simple EVAP system??
Oh thats right, its a Toyota
Rather useless without some index on what topic is covered at which point.
Too much irrelevant talk. A lot of wasting time!!!
