If a “smoke” (leak detection) machine is available and preferred, the Repair Flow Chart can still be used. This tool would be used in place of watching for pressure drop and spraying with soapy water.

Caution: Use Essential Tool J-42909 or equivalent to pressurize the EVAP system. Do not pressurize over the amount specified in the Infiniti service manual, and do not use shop air pressure.
