• Q: How to remove the Vapor Canister on 2009 Scion tC?

  A: The procedure of removing the Evaporative Emission Control Canister requires disconnecting the negative battery cable followed by 90-second waiting time to avoid triggering Air Bag and seat belt pretensioner activation. You must detach the front floor panel brace together with the center exhaust pipe assembly and No. 1 fuel tank protector and rear suspension brace lower right piece. You must disconnect the canister assembly by removing the leak detection pump connector and the fuel emission hose with its two clamps and the fuel tank vent hose. Pinch the fuel tank vent hose retainer to remove its connector with great care for cleanliness then refrain from applying tools to prevent nylon tube damage. The disconnected components should receive plastic bag coverage before moving on. The fuel tank vent connector and pipe should be released through push and pull movements. To disconnect the fuel tank vent hose begin by pinching the tab of the retainer until the lock claws disengages before pulling the hose free from the charcoal canister while maintaining cleanliness and protecting the hose from damage. The clip remover tool should remove the temporary workshop clip that can be left off during reassembly. Reinstallation of this clip is unnecessary. Last step to remove the canister filter sub-assembly is to disconnect two hoses and remove the bolt with filter.
