Evaporative Emission System Incorrect Purge Flow Actuator Stuck On

Leak detection pump creates negative pressure (vacuum) in EVAP system and EVAP system pressure measured. Reference pressure is measured at start and at end of leak check.

If stabilized pressure higher than [second reference pressure x 0.2], ECM determines that purge VSV stuck open.

MONITOR DESCRIPTION

The 2 monitors, Key-off and purge flow, are used to detect malfunctions relating to DTCs P04417E, P04417F and P04419C. The Key-Off monitor is initiated by the ECM internal timer, known as the soak timer, 5 hours after the engine switch is turned off. The purge flow monitor runs while the engine is running.

  1. KEY-OFF MONITOR

    5 hours* after the engine switch is turned off, the electric leak detection pump creates negative pressure (vacuum) in the EVAP (Evaporative Emission) system. The ECM monitors for leaks and actuator malfunctions based on the EVAP pressure.

    HINT:

    *: If the engine coolant temperature is not less than 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 less than 35°C (95°F) 7 hours after the engine switch is turned off, the monitor check starts 2.5 hours later.

    Operation

    Description

    Duration

    -

    ECM activation

    Activated by soak timer 5, 7 or 9.5 hours after engine switch turned off.

    -

    A

    Atmospheric pressure measurement

    Vent valve is turned off (vent) and EVAP system pressure is measured by ECM in order to register atmospheric pressure.

    If pressure in EVAP system is not between 70 kPa(abs) and 110 kPa(abs) [10.15 psi(abs) and 15.95 psi(abs)], ECM cancels EVAP system monitor.

    60 seconds

    B

    First reference pressure measurement

    In order to determine reference pressure, leak detection pump creates negative pressure (vacuum) through reference orifice and then ECM checks if leak detection pump and vent valve operate normally.

    360 seconds

    C

    EVAP system pressure measurement

    Vent valve is turned on (closed) to shut EVAP system.

    Negative pressure (vacuum) is created in EVAP system, and EVAP system pressure is then measured.

    Write down measured value as it will be used in leak check.

    If EVAP pressure does not stabilize within 15 minutes, ECM cancels EVAP system monitor.

    15 minutes*

    D

    Purge VSV monitor

    Purge VSV opened and then EVAP system pressure is measured by ECM.

    A large increase indicates normality.

    10 seconds

    E

    Second reference pressure measurement

    After second reference pressure measurement, leak check is performed by comparing first and second reference pressure measurements.

    If stabilized system pressure is higher than second reference pressure, ECM determines that EVAP system leaking.

    60 seconds

    -

    Final check

    Atmospheric pressure is measured and then monitoring result is recorded by ECM.

    -

    *: If only a small amount of fuel is in the fuel tank, it takes longer for the EVAP pressure to stabilize.

    Negative Pressure

    1. Purge VSV stuck open

      In operation C, the leak detection pump creates negative pressure (vacuum) in the EVAP (Evaporative Emission) system. The EVAP system pressure is then measured by the ECM using the canister pressure sensor. If the stabilized system pressure is higher than [second reference pressure x 0.2], the ECM interprets this as the purge VSV being stuck open. If any deterioration has occurred, the ECM will illuminate the MIL and store DTC P04417E (2 trip detection logic).

    2. Purge VSV stuck closed

      In operation D, the canister pressure sensor measures the EVAP (Evaporative Emission) system pressure. The pressure measurement for the purge VSV monitor begins when the purge VSV is turned on (open) after the EVAP leak check. When the measured pressure indicates an increase of 0.3 kPa(gauge) [0.044 psi(gauge)] or higher, the purge VSV is functioning normally. If the pressure does not increase, the ECM interprets this as the purge VSV being stuck closed, illuminates the MIL and store DTC P04417F (2 trip detection logic).

  2. PURGE FLOW MONITOR

    The purge flow monitor consists of 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 on (closed) and the EVAP pressure is then measured. If the variation in the pressure is less than 0.154 kPa(gauge) [0.022 psi(gauge)], the ECM interprets this as the purge VSV being stuck closed, illuminates the MIL and stores DTC P04419C (2 trip detection logic).

Atmospheric pressure check:

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

P04417E and P04417F

NOTICE:

  • The Evaporative System Check (Automatic Mode) consists of 6 steps performed automatically by the Techstream. It takes a maximum of approximately 24 minutes.
  • Do not perform the Evaporative System Check when the fuel tank is higher than 85% 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 higher, a large amount of vapor forms and any check results become inaccurate. When performing the Evaporative System Check, keep the fuel temperature less than 35°C (95°F).
  1. Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
  2. Turn the engine switch on (IG).
  3. Turn the Techstream on.
  4. Clear the DTCs (even if no DTCs are stored, perform the clear DTC procedure).
  5. Turn the engine switch off and wait for at least 30 seconds.
  6. Turn the engine switch on (IG) [A].
  7. Turn the Techstream on.
  8. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Utility / Evaporative System Check / Automatic Mode [B].
  9. After the Evaporative System Check is completed, check for All Readiness by entering the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Utility / All Readiness.
  10. Input the DTC: P04417E or P04417F.
  11. Check the DTC judgment result.
