System DescriptionNBEC0333NOTE:
If DTC P1447 is displayed with P0510, perform trouble diagnosis for DTC P0510 first. (See EC-431.)
SEF373Z
In this evaporative emission (EVAP) control system, purge flow occurs during non-closed throttle conditions.
Purge volume is related to air intake volume. Under normal purge conditions (non-closed throttle), the EVAP
canister purge volume control solenoid valve is open to admit purge flow. Purge flow exposes the EVAP con-
trol system pressure sensor to intake manifold vacuum.
On Board Diagnosis LogicNBEC0334Under normal conditions (non-closed throttle), sensor output volt-
age indicates if pressure drop and purge flow are adequate. If not,
a fault is determined.
Malfunction is detected when EVAP control system does not oper-
ate properly, EVAP control system has a leak between intake mani-
fold and EVAP control system pressure sensor.
Possible CauseNBEC0590IEVAP canister purge volume control solenoid valve stuck
closed
IEVAP control system pressure sensor and the circuit
ILoose, disconnected or improper connection of rubber tube
IBlocked rubber tube
ICracked EVAP canister
IEVAP canister purge volume control solenoid valve circuit
IClosed throttle position switch
IBlocked purge port
