1. Inspect the evaporative hose and joint port sealing surface for damage and deformation.
If there is any malfunction, replace it with a new one.
2. Apply a small amount of clean engine oil to the sealing surface of the joint port.
3. Reconnect the evaporative hose straight to the joint port until a click is heard.
4. Lightly pull and push the quick release connector a few times by hand, and then verify that it can move
2.0-3.0 mm {0.08-0.12 in}
and is connected securely.
