MB didn't do tank leak evaluation (evap codes) till later than 96. I think it might have been 98, but it could have been different for different models, but none did it in 96.

Testing of evap integrity would be similar though without the benefit of scanner based pressure accountability. Either smoke it from the cannister inlet or the purge inlet.
