1. REMOVE V±BANK COVER, HIGH±TENSION CORD
COVER AND EMISSION CONTROL VALVE SET
2. REMOVE VSV
(a) Disconnect the 2 vacuum hoses from the VSV.
(b) Remove the screw and VSV.
3. INSPECT VSV FOR OPEN CIRCUIT
Using an ohmmeter, check that there is continuity between
each terminals.
Resistance: 33 ± 39 W at 20°C (68°F)
If there is no continuity, replace the VSV.
4. INSPECT VSV FOR GROUND
Using an ohmmeter, check that there is no continuity between
each terminal and the body.
If there is continuity, replace the VSV.
5. INSPECT VSV OPERATION
(a) Check that air flows from port E to the filter.
(b) Apply battery positive voltage across the terminals.
(c) Check that air flows from port E to port F.
If operation is not as specified, replace the VSV.
6. REINSTALL VSV
(a) Install the VSV with the screw.
(b) Connect the 2 vacuum to the VSV.
7. REINSTALL EMISSION CONTROL VALVE SET
8. REINSTALL HIGH±TENSION CORD COVER
9. REINSTALL V±BANK COVER

Early Type (Non±Intrusive) EVAP System Overview
There are a variety of EVAP systems in use with different monitoring strategies. It is
essential that the EVAP system be correctly identified before beginning diagnosis. The
Repair Manual is the best source for this information. The following information covers
the different systems.
The first system described is the Early Type (Non±Intrusive) EVAP System. Refer to the
Applicable Vehicles chart for applicability information.

Purge Operation
When the engine has reached
predetermined parameters (closed loop,
engine temp. above 125F, etc.), stored
fuel vapors are purged from the canister
whenever the purge VSV is opened by
the ECM. At the appropriate time, the
ECM will turn on the purge VSV.
The ECM will change the duty ratio cycle
of the purge VSV thus controlling purge
flow volume. Purge flow volume is
determined by manifold pressure and the
duty ratio cycle of the purge VSV.
Atmospheric pressure is allowed into the
canister to ensure that purge flow is
constantly maintained whenever purge
vacuum is applied to the canister (see
Figure 1).

The bypass VSV and the fill check valve

from the canister side (see Figure 1).

The bypass VSV and the Fill Check valve
also isolate the canister side from the
tank side (see Figure 2).

ECHO Late Type (Intrusive EVAP System)
The ECHO uses a Late Type EVAP System but is configured with some small
differences. For the ECHO, the Canister Closed Valve is located directly on the canister.
Additionally, the bypass VSV has been eliminated.

Late Type (Intrusive) EVAP System Monitor Sequence
The monitoring sequence for leak detection is different from that of the Early Type EVAP
System. The Late Type applies a very small vacuum to the EVAP system. The ECM then
determines if there is a problem in the system based on the vapor pressure sensor
signal.

This diagnostic process tests the EVAP System. The following diagnostic tips may be
used in conjunction with the Diagnostic Procedures for EVAP DTCs listed in the Repair
Manual. They may be used for all Late Type (Intrusive) EVAP Systems and for all EVAP
DTCs. Refer to the Applicable Vehicles chart for applicability information.
The EVAP System Pressure Test Kit (P/N 00002±6872A) and the Scan Tool can be used
to diagnose the EVAP System. Measuring EVAP System pressures using the EVAP
System Pressure Tester Gauge and the Scan Tool can aid in the identification of leaks in
the system.
