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 125
F, 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).

Monitor Operation
The monitor sequence begins with a cold
engine start. The IAT and ECT sensors
must have approximately the same
temperature reading.
The ECM is constantly monitoring fuel
tank pressure. As the temperature of the
fuel increases, pressure slowly rises.
The ECM will purge the charcoal canister
at the appropriate time (see Figure 1).
With bypass VSV closed, pressure will
continue to rise in fuel tank.

PRELIMINARY CHECK
Fuel level should be between
1/4 and 3/4
Visually inspect for presence
of Fuel/Gas Cap
DO NOT TIGHTEN OR REMOVE!
PRESSURIZE EVAP SYSTEM (System Integrity Check)
This test checks for leaks in the canister and fuel tank sides. The CCV and Air Inlet Lines will be checked
separately.
A) Clamp the air drain hose on the charcoal canister with the supplied hose pliers from the EVAP System
Pressure Test Kit.
B) Locate the vapor pressure sensor. If the vapor pressure sensor has two hoses connected to it,
disconnect the hose between the air drain hose fitting at the vapor pressure sensor and plug the hose.
C) Connect the pressure supply hose from the Pressure Test Kit to the Green EVAP System Service Port
located on the EVAP Purge VSV line in the engine compartment.
D) Using the directions on the inside of the EVAP System Pressure Test Kit lid, pressurize the EVAP
system. Once pressurized, turn off the pump and seal the system (Pressure Hold Switch to ªClosedº
and Vent Switch to ªClosed).
E) After 30 seconds, note the pump pressure gauge reading and the Scan Tool vapor pressure
sensor reading.
F) Compare the readings to one of the four conditions listed below and proceed as directed.
DO NOT PROCEED! NG
OK
SCAN TOOL SETUP
A) Connect Scan Tool to DLC3 on vehicle.
B) Go to the SETUP menu and select UNIT CONVERSION.
C) Under VAPOR PRESSURE, Select ABS for absolute pressure, and mmHg for millimeters of mercury.
This is to match the Repair Manual specifications.
D) Go back to FUNCTION SELECT menu and select ENHANCED OBD II.
E) Select NORMAL MODE. Then select CURRENT DATA and USER SELECT.
F) Using the arrow key, select VAPOR PRESS from the DATA LIST and select YES.
G) Press ENTER. You will now be able to monitor the Vapor Pressure Sensor reading.
START
If vehicle is ECHO, go directly to ªECHO Canister and Tank Leak Checkº on page 14.
If vehicle is not ECHO, follow the flow chart below.

Disconnect
EVAP Hose Here
A. Using the supplied brass step±down adapter, disconnect the EVAP hose from
the charcoal canister side as indicated above. Connect Pressure Supply hose
from Pressure Test Kit to the EVAP hose and pressurize the fuel tank to
30 mmHg (4 kPa / 0.58 psi).
B. Check that the internal pressure of the tank will hold for 1 minute. Check shaded
areas for leaks (soapy water can be used for leak detection). If pressure holds, then
perform the Canister Leak Check.
C. When done, reconnect the EVAP line hose to the charcoal canister. Fuel Tank Leak Check (Except ECHO)
Canister Leak Check (Except ECHO)
A. Connect the Pressure Supply hose from the Pressure Test Kit to the Green EVAP
System Service Port located on the EVAP Purge VSV line in the engine compartment.
B. Using the directions on the inside of the EVAP System Pressure Test Kit lid,
pressurize the EVAP system. Once pressurized, turn off the pump and seal the system
(Pressure Hold Switch to ªClosedº and Vent Switch to ªClosedº)
C. With system pressurized at EVAP Service Port, check shaded areas for leaks (soapy
water can be used for leak detection). Diagnostic

BULLETIN
March 22, 2002

To help prevent unnecessary complications during the oil fill process, no undue load
should be placed on the oil baffle attached to the inside of the valve cover (see
illustration). This baffle is designed to deflect oil and should not be used to support
the weight of heavy oil fill devices. These devices can place stress on the baffle, and
bend or break it during the oil fill process.
All 1993 ± 2003 model year Toyota vehicles.
Please take measures to ensure that the baffle is not damaged during the oil fill process.
If it does become damaged, repair it before any collateral damage occurs.
