and 2.70 volts. Start engine if FTP V PID is
equal to or less than 0.33 volt.
Yes
INSTALL fuel filler cap only 1/8 turn so that cap initially
clicks by sound or touch.
Go to step 3.
• Access FTP V PID.
• Key on, engine running.
• Idle engine for 3 minutes.
• Loosen fuel filler cap.
• Again, access FTP V PID with NGS tester.
• Is FTP V PID voltage between 2.40 and
2.80 volts?
