A system and method of detecting a leak in an evaporative emissions system for a vehicle includes measuring a physical disturbance of the vehicle with a sensory system and providing a sensory signal (311, 313, 315). Then, comparing the sensory signal (311, 313, 315) to a threshold (405) and generating a diagnosis signal (407, 413) having a "valid test" state, when the sensory signal does not exceed the threshold, and generating the diagnosis signal having an "invalid test" state, when the sensory signal exceeds the threshold. And, executing an evaporative emissions system leak test while the provided diagnosis signal indicates the "valid test" state, and aborting the evaporative emissions system leak test (505) when the diagnosis signal indicates the "invalid test" state.
