• Q: How to service and repair the Vapor Canister on 2007 Scion tC?

  A: The Evaporative Emission Control Canister service and repair process requires users to disconnect the negative battery cable for at least 90 seconds to avoid triggering Air Bag and seat belt pretentioner activation. Begin by removing the front floor panel brace followed by center exhaust pipe assembly then the No. 1 fuel tank protector and rear suspension brace lower RH before disconnecting the leak detection pump connector along with the fuel emission hose with its 2 clamps and finally the fuel tank vent hose. The fuel tank vent hose demands workers to pinch the retainer and extract the connector with manual methods only while checking for any foreign substances at the outlet. The connected parts need to be shielded with plastic bags following their disconnection. Push and pull actions should be used to unclog connections between the fuel tank vent connector and pipe. After unscrewing the clip with a clip remover, remove the two bolts and detach the charcoal canister. When working on the canister filter sub-assembly you should disconnect all 2 hoses before you remove the bolt and the filter. The first step involves installing the canister filter sub-assembly followed by tightening the bolt at 8.0 N.m (82 kgf.cm, 71 in.lbf) while attaching the two hoses. Secure the canister assembly by linking the canister bracket claw to the fuel tank hoses initially then fasten it with 2 bolts at 19 N.m (194 kgf.cm, 14 ft.lbf). Secure the fuel vent hose connection through pipe alignment to the fuel tube connector followed by activating the retainer to accomplish closure. Before checking the connection pull the fuel tube connector and pipe while ensuring that both items and connected parts remain scratch-free. Connect the fuel tank vent hose by clicking the retainer while installing the fuel emission hose using two clamps and reestablishing the leak detection pump connector. The procedure ends with final installation of the rear suspension brace lower RH and No. 1 fuel tank protector followed by center exhaust pipe assembly and front floor panel brace. Additionally you must reconnect the cable to the negative terminal then perform initialization steps where needed after power disconnection. Finally inspect for exhaust gas leaks.
