RELATED DTCs

If any EVAP system DTCs are set, the malfunctioning area can be determined using the table below.

NOTICE:
If the reference pressure difference between the first and second checks is greater than the specification, all the DTCs relating to the reference pressure (P043E, P043F, P2401, P2402 and P2419) are stored.

DESCRIPTION

Text in Illustration

HINT
The canister pressure sensor, the leak detection pump and the vent valve are built into the canister pump module.

Text in Illustration

NOTICE:
In this vehicle's EVAP system, turning on the vent valve does not seal off the EVAP system. To check for leaks in the EVAP system, disconnect the air inlet vent hose and apply pressure from the atmospheric side of the canister.

While the engine is running, if a predetermined condition (closed-loop, etc.) is met, the purge VSV is opened by the ECM and stored fuel vapors in the canister are purged into the intake manifold. The ECM changes the duty cycle of the purge VSV to control purge flow volume.

The purge flow volume is also determined by the intake manifold pressure. Atmospheric pressure is allowed into the canister through the vent valve to ensure that the purge flow is maintained when negative pressure (vacuum) is applied to the canister.

The following 2 monitors run to confirm the appropriate EVAP system operation.

1. Key-off monitor

This monitor checks for EVAP (Evaporative Emission) system leaks and canister pump module malfunctions. The monitor starts 5 hours* after the engine switch is turned off. At least 5 hours are required for the fuel to cool down to stabilize the EVAP pressure, thus making the EVAP system monitor more accurate.

The leak detection pump creates negative pressure (vacuum) in the EVAP system and the pressure is measured. Finally, the ECM monitors for leaks from the EVAP system, and malfunctions in both the canister pump module and purge VSV based on the EVAP pressure.

HINT
*: If the engine coolant temperature is not below 35°C (95°F) 5 hours after the engine switch is turned off, the monitor check starts 2 hours later. If it is still not below 35°C (95°F) 7 hours after the engine switch is turned off, the monitor check starts 2.5 hours later.

2. Purge flow monitor

The purge flow monitor consists of the 2 monitors. The 1st monitor is conducted every time and the 2nd monitor is activated if necessary.

The 1st monitor

While the engine is running and the purge VSV is on (open), the ECM monitors the purge flow by measuring the EVAP pressure change. If negative pressure is not created, the ECM begins the 2nd monitor.

The 2nd monitor

The vent valve is turned off (open) and the EVAP pressure is measured. If the variation in the pressure is less than 0.4 kPa-g (3 mmHg-g), the ECM interprets this as the purge VSV being stuck closed, and illuminates the MIL and sets DTC P0441 (2 trip detection logic).

Atmospheric pressure check:

In order to ensure reliable malfunction detection, the variation between the atmospheric pressures, before and after conduction of the purge flow monitor, is measured by the ECM.

Warm the engine up until the engine coolant temperature reaches more than 75°C (167°F).

Increase the engine speed to 3000 rpm once.

Allow the engine to idle and turn the the A/C switch on for 1 minute.

(c) Monitor Status

Turn the engine switch off (if on (IG) or if the engine is running).

Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.

Turn the engine switch on (IG).

Turn the Techstream on.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

NOTICE:
* Inspect the fuses for circuits related to this system before performing the following inspection procedure.
* The Techstream is required to conduct the following diagnostic troubleshooting procedure.

HINT
* Unit expression
* [kPa-a (mmHg-a)] denotes absolute pressure.
* [kPa-g (mmHg-g)] denotes absolute pressure (relative pressure).
* On the Techstream, convert the unit of measurement according to the inspection procedure.
* Using Techstream monitor results enables the EVAP (Evaporative Emission) system to be confirmed.
* Read freeze frame data using the Techstream. The ECM records vehicle and driving condition information as freeze frame data the moment a DTC is stored. When troubleshooting, freeze frame data can be helpful in determining whether the vehicle was running or stopped, whether the engine was warmed up or not, whether the air fuel ratio was lean or rich, as well as other data recorded at the time of a malfunction.

PROCEDURE

1. CONFIRM DTC

(a) Turn the engine switch off and wait for 10 seconds.

(b) Turn the engine switch on (IG).

(c) Turn the engine switch off and wait for 10 seconds.

(d) Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.

(e) Turn the engine switch on (IG).

(f) Turn the Techstream on.

(g) Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Trouble Codes.

(h) Confirm DTCs and freeze frame data.

If any EVAP system DTCs are set, the malfunctioning area can be determined using the table below.

NOTICE:
If the reference pressure difference between the first and second checks is greater than the specification, all the DTCs relating to the reference pressure (P043E, P043F, P2401, P2402 and P2419) are stored.

NEXT -- Continue to next step.

2. PERFORM EVAPORATIVE SYSTEM CHECK (AUTOMATIC MODE)

NOTICE:
* The Evaporative System Check (Automatic Mode) consists of 5 steps performed automatically by the Techstream. It takes a maximum of approximately 18 minutes.
* Do not perform the Evaporative System Check when the fuel tank is more than 90% full because the cut-off valve may be closed, making the fuel tank leak check unavailable.
* Do not run the engine during this operation.
* When the temperature of the fuel is 35°C (95°F) or more, a large amount of vapor forms and any check results become inaccurate. When performing the Evaporative System Check, keep the fuel temperature below 35°C (95°F).

(a) Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.

(b) Turn the engine switch on (IG).

(c) Turn the Techstream on.

(d) Clear the DTCs Reading and Clearing Diagnostic Trouble Codes.

(e) Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Utility / Evaporative System Check / Automatic Mode.

(f) After the Evaporative System Check is completed, check for pending DTCs by entering the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Trouble Codes.

HINT
If no pending DTCs are displayed, perform the Monitor Confirmation (see "Diagnostic Help" menu). After this confirmation, check for pending DTCs. If no DTCs are displayed, the EVAP system is normal.

NEXT -- Continue to next step.

3. PERFORM EVAPORATIVE SYSTEM CHECK (MANUAL MODE)

NOTICE:
* In the Evaporative System Check (Manual Mode), perform the series of 5 Evaporative System Check steps manually using the Techstream.
