• Q: How to Install a Vapor Canister on 2009 Dodge Ram 3500?

  A: The electrical connector on the ESIM switch should be in the 3 O'clock position for correct operation of the EVAP canister. A vertical, single canister is needed for Type 1, along with the ESIM connected to it. Insert the two locating pins at the rear into the mounting bracket and screw in the ESIM switch bolt below. Connect the canister to the vapor line using the quick-connect, then the vapor lines of both the canister and compound vapor line to the ESIM switch and lastly, plug in the ESIM switch electrical wiring connector. If the vehicle has skid plates, set them up and confirm that every vapor/vacuum line and hose are connected securely, as checking for damage or leaks at the EVAP canister purge solenoid is important, since leaks may result in a DTC light. To finish, bring the vehicle closer to the ground. For Type 2, make sure you use the right canister and switch during the procedure. When installing Type 3 with dual mounted canisters, first push the secondary canister into the bracket, guide the locating pins and finally secure it with the mounting bolt. For the main canister, repeat the instructions to make sure all the piping is connected as explained before. With a Type 4, having the two canisters horizontally mounted, position the locating pins for them into the mounting bracket, then install the nuts and attach the cables and hoses as described. It's important to confirm that all lines are secure and check for leaks before you lift the vehicle.
