Evaporative Emission Control System Incorrect Purge Flow

One of the following conditions met:

  • 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.

  • After EVAP leak check performed, purge VSV turned on (open), and atmospheric air introduced into EVAP system. Reference pressure is measured at start and at end of check.

    If pressure does not return to near atmospheric pressure, ECM determines that purge VSV stuck closed.

  • While engine running, following conditions successively met:
    • Negative pressure not created in EVAP system when purge VSV turned on (open)
    • EVAP system pressure change less than 0.15 kPa [0.02 psi] when vent valve turned on (closed)
    • Atmospheric pressure change before and after purge flow monitor less than 0.1 kPa [0.02 psi]
  • Purge VSV
  • Purge line
  • Connector/wire harness (Purge VSV - ECM)
  • ECM
  • Canister pump module
  • Canister (filter inside canister clogged)
  • No. 2 charcoal canister filter (filter inside canister clogged)

MONITOR DESCRIPTION

The 2 monitors, Key-off and purge flow, are used to detect malfunctions relating to DTC P0441. The Key-Off monitor is initiated by the ECM internal timer, known as the soak timer, 5 hours after the ignition switch is turned off. The purge flow monitor runs while the engine is running.

  1. KEY-OFF MONITOR

    5 hours* after the ignition 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 ignition 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 ignition switch is turned off, the monitor check starts 2.5 hours later.

    Description

    Duration

    -

    ECM activation

    Activated by soak timer 5, 7 or 9.5 hours after ignition 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 this DTC (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 [0.04 psi] 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 stores this DTC (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 0.15 kPa [0.02 psi], the ECM interprets this as the purge VSV being stuck closed, illuminates the MIL and stores 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.
