Key-off monitor
This monitor checks for EVAP (Evaporative Emission) system leaks and pump module malfunctions. The
monitor starts 5 hours*
after the ignition switch is turned OFF. More than 5 hours are required to allow enough
time for the fuel to cool down to stabilize the Fuel Tank Pressure (FTP), thus making the EVAP system moni-
tor more accurate.
The electric vacuum pump creates negative pressure (vacuum) in the EVAP system and the pressure is
measured. Finally, the ECM monitors for leaks from the EVAP system, and malfunctions in both the pump
module and purge VSV, based on the EVAP pressure.
HINT:
*:If the engine coolant temperature is not below 35C 5 hours after the ignition switch is turned off, the moni-
tor check starts 2 hours later. If it is still not below 35C 7 hours after the ignition switch is turned off, the
monitor check starts 2.5 hours later.
Purge flow monitor
The purge flow monitor consists of the two monitors. The 1st monitor is always conducted every time and
the 2nd monitor is activated if necessary.
The 1st monitor
While the engine is running and the purge VSV (Vacuum Switching Valve) 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 0.5 kpa (3.75 mmHg), the ECM interprets this as the purge VSV being
stuck closed, and illuminates the MIL and sets 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.

Operations
CanisterContains activated charcoal to absorb EVAP (Evaporative Emissions) generated in fuel tank.
Cut-of f valveLocated in fuel tank. Valve floats and closes when fuel tank is 100 % full.
Purge VSV (Vacuum
Switching Valve)Opens or closes line between canister and intake manifold. ECM uses purge VSV to control EVAP purge flow. In order
to discharge EVAP absorbed by canister to intake manifold, ECM opens purge VSV. EVAP discharge volume to intake
manifold controlled by purge VSV duty cycle ratio (current-carrying time). (Open: ON, Close: OFF)
Refueling valve
Controls EVAP pressure from fuel tank to canister. Valve consists of diaphragm, spring and restrictor (diameter: 0.08
inch). When fuel vapor and pressure inside fuel tank increase, valve opens. While EVAP purged, valve closes and re-
strictor prevents large amount of vacuum from affecting pressure in fuel tank. Valve opened while refueling. When valve
open, adding fuel into fuel tank possible.
Roll-over valveLocated in fuel tank. Valve closes by its own weight when vehicle overturns to prevent fuel from spilling out.
Service portUsed for connecting vacuum gauge for inspecting EVAP system.
Soak timerBuilt into ECM. To ensure accurate EVAP monitor, measures 5 hours* after ignition switch turned to OFF. This allows
fuel to cool down, stabilizing Fuel Tank Pressure (FTP). When apprx. 5 hours
* elapsed, ECM activates.
Pump moduleConsists of (a) to (d) below. Pump module cannot be disassembled.
(a) Vent valve
Vents and closes EVAP system. When ECM turns valve ON, EVAP system closed. When, ECM turns valve OFF, EVAP
system vented. Negative pressure (vacuum) created in EVAP system to check for EVAP leaks by closing purge VSV,
turning on vent valve (closed) and operating vacuum pump (refer to fig. 1).
(b) Pressure sensorIndicates pressure as voltages. ECM supplies regulated 5 V to pressure sensor, and uses feedback from sensor to
monitor EVAP system pressure (refer to fig 2).
(c) Vacuum pumpCreates negative pressure (vacuum) in EVAP system for leak check.
(d) 0.02 inch orificeHas opening with 0.02 inch diameter. Vacuum produced through orifice by closing purge VSV, turning off vent valve and
operating vacuum pump, to monitor 0.02 inch leak pressure. 0.02 inch leak pressure indicates small leak of EVAP.
HINT:
*:If the engine coolant temperature is not below 35C after 5 hours after the ignition switch is turned off, the
monitor check starts 2 hours later. If it is still not below 35C 7 hours after the ignition switch is turned off,
the monitor check starts 2.5 hours later.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE
NOTICE:
A hand-held tester is required to conduct the following diagnostic troubleshooting procedure.
HINT:
Using hand-held tester monitor results enables the EVAP (Evaporative Emission) system to be con-
firmed.
Read freeze frame data using a hand-held tester Freeze frame data record the engine condition when
malfunctions are detected. When troubleshooting, freeze frame data can help determine if the vehicle
was moving or stationary, if the engine was warmed up or not, if the air-fuel ratio was lean or rich, and
other data, from the time the malfunction occurred.
1 CONFIRM DTC
(a) Turn the ignition switch OFF and wait 10 seconds.
(b) Turn the ignition switch ON.
(c) Turn the ignition switch OFF and wait 10 seconds.
(d) Connect the hand-held tester to the DLC3.
(e) Turn the ignition switch ON and press the hand-held tester switch ON.
(f) Enter the following menus: DIAGNOSIS/ ENHANCED OBD II/ DTC INFO/ CURRENT CODES.
(g) Confirm the DTCs and freeze frame data.
If any EVAP system DTCs are set, the malfunctioning area can be determined using the table below.
NOTICE:
If the 0.02 inch reference pressure difference between the first and second checks is greater than
the specification, the DTCs corresponding to the reference pressure (P043E, P043F, P0441, P0455,
P0456, P2401, P2420) will be all stored.

2 PERFORM EVAP SYSTEM CHECK(AUTO OPERATION)
NOTICE:
In the EVAP SYSTEM CHECK (AUTO OPERATION), the series of 5 EVAP SYSTEM CHECK steps
is performed automatically. It takes a maximum of approximately 18 minutes.
Do not perform the EVAP SYSTEM CHECK when the fuel tank is more than 90% full because
the cut-off valve may be closed and making the leak check of the fuel tank unavailable.
Do not run the engine in this step.
When the temperature of the fuel is 35C (95F) or more, a large amount of vapor forms and any
check results become inaccurate. When performing the EVAP SYSTEM CHECK, keep the tem-
perature below 35C
(95F).
(a) Clear DTCs (see page 05-38).
(b) On the hand-held tester, select the following menu items: DIAGNOSIS / ENHANCED OBD II / SYS-
TEM CHECK / EVAP SYS CHECK / AUTO OPERATION.
(c) After the EVAP SYSTEM CHECK is completed, check for pending DTCs by selecting the following
menu items: DIAGNOSIS / ENHANCED OBD II / DTC INFO / PENDING CODES.
HINT:
If no pending DTC is displayed, perform the Monitor Confirmation after this repair is completed. After this
confirmation, check for pending DTCs. If no DTC is displayed, the EVAP system is normal.
