• Q: How to remove the Vapor Canister on 2008 Scion tC?

  A: The Evaporative Emission Control Canister removal procedure demands that technicians first disconnect the car battery negative cable for at least ninety seconds to prevent Air Bag and seat belt pretensioner activation. The front floor panel brace and the center exhaust pipe assembly and No. 1 fuel tank protector and the rear suspension brace lower RH need to be removed. The canister assembly disconnect requires removal of the leak detection pump connector and fuel emission hose with its attached clamps as well as the fuel tank vent hose. When handling the fuel tank vent hose you should pinch the retainer then pull out the connector and check for all foreign material before continuing without using tools for protection. Tuck the disconnected components under a plastic covering. Regular effort to free stuck fuel tank vent connectors and pipes should include pushing and pulling motions. Following a clean environment ensure that you eliminate the lock claws from the fuel tank vent hose retainer using the tab's pinch then draw the hose from the charcoal canister. Tweak off the clip with a clip remover since it serves only workshop functions while you disconnect the 2 bolts needed for charcoal canister removal. The last step requires the removal of the canister filter sub-assembly through hose disconnecting and bolt and filter uninstallation.
