This system controls flow rate of EGR led from exhaust manifold
to intake manifold. The opening of the EGR by-pass passage in the
EGR volume control valve changes to control the flow rate. A
built-in step motor moves the valve in steps corresponding to the
ECM output pulses. The opening of the valve varies for optimum
engine control. The optimum value stored in the ECM is determined
by considering various engine conditions. The EGR volume control
valve remains close under the following conditions.
+Low engine coolant temperature
+Engine starting
+High-speed engine operation
+Extremely light load engine operation

DTC Confirmation ProcedureNJEC0229CAUTION:
Always drive vehicle at a safe speed.
NOTE:
+If ªDTC Confirmation Procedureº has been previously
conducted, always turn ignition switch ªOFFº and wait at least
9 seconds before conducting the next test.
+P0400 will not be displayed at ªSELF-DIAG RESULTSº mode
with CONSULT-II even though DTC work support test result is
ªNGº.
TESTING CONDITION:
+Before performing the following procedure, confirm bat-
tery voltage is more than 10V at idle, then stop engine
immediately.
+For best result, perform the test at a temperature of 0ÉC
(32ÉF) or higher.
With CONSULT-II
1) Turn ignition switch ªOFFº and wait at least 9 seconds.
2) Turn ignition switch ªONº.
3) Check ªCOOLAN TEMP/Sº in ªDATA MONITORº mode with
CONSULT-II and confirm it is within the range listed below.
COOLAN TEMP/S: Less than 40ÉC (104ÉF)
If the value is out of range, park the vehicle in a cool place and
allow the engine temperature to stabilize. Do not attempt to
lower the engine coolant temperature with a fan or means
other than ambient air. Doing so may produce an inaccurate
diagnostic result.
4) Start engine and let it idle monitoring ªCOOLAN TEMP/Sº
value. When the ªCOOLAN TEMP/Sº value reaches 70ÉC
(158ÉF), immediately go to the next step.
5) Select ªEGR SYSTEM P0400º of ªEGR SYSTEMº in ªDTC
WORK SUPPORTº mode with CONSULT-II.
6) Touch ªSTARTº.
7) Accelerate vehicle to a speed of 40 km/h (25 MPH) once and
then stop vehicle with engine running.
If ªCOMPLETEDº appears on CONSULT-II screen, go to step
9.
If ªCOMPLETEDº does not appear on CONSULT-II screen, go
to the following step.
8) When the following conditions are met, ªTESTINGº will be dis-
played on the CONSULT-II screen. Maintain the conditions
until ªTESTINGº changes to ªCOMPLETEDº. (It will take
approximately 45 seconds or more.)

This system controls flow rate of fuel vapor from the EVAP canis-
ter. The opening of the vapor by-pass passage in the EVAP canis-
ter purge volume control solenoid valve changes to control the flow
rate. The EVAP canister purge volume control solenoid valve
repeats ON/OFF operation according to the signal sent from the
ECM. The opening of the valve varies for optimum engine control.
The optimum value stored in the ECM is determined by consider-
ing various engine conditions. When the engine is operating, the
flow rate of fuel vapor from the EVAP canister is regulated as the
air flow changes.
SEF337U
COMPONENT DESCRIPTIONNJEC0248S02The EVAP canister purge volume control solenoid valve uses a
ON/OFF duty to control the flow rate of fuel vapor from the EVAP
canister. The EVAP canister purge volume control solenoid valve
is moved by ON/OFF pulses from the ECM. The longer the ON
pulse, the greater the amount of fuel vapor that will flow through the
valve.
