(a) Purge VSV stuck open
In operation C, the vacuum pump creates negative pressure (vacuum) in the EVAP (Evaporative Emission)
system. The EVAP system pressure is then measured by the ECM using the pressure sensor. If the stabilized
system pressure is higher than [second 0.02 inch leak pressure standard x 0.2], the ECM interprets this as
the purge VSV (Vacuum Switching Valve) being stuck open. The ECM illuminates the MIL and sets the DTC
(2 trip detection logic).

(b) Purge VSV stuck closed
In operation D, the pressure sensor measures the EVAP system pressure. The pressure measurement for
purge VSV monitor is begun when the purge VSV is turned ON (open) after the EVAP leak check. When
the measured pressure indicates an increase of 0.3 kPa (2.25 mmHg) or more, the purge VSV is functioning
normally. If the pressure does not increase, the ECM interprets this as the purge VSV being stuck closed.
The ECM illuminates the MIL and sets the DTC (2 trip detection logic).
2. PURGE FLOW MONITOR
The purge flow monitor consists of the two step monitors. The
1st monitor is conducted every time and the 2nd monitor is acti-
vated 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 conduc-
tion of the purge flow monitor, is measured by the ECM.

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The circuit description can be found in the EVAP INSPECTION PROCEDURE (see page 05-679).
INSPECTION PROCEDURE
Refer to the EVAP INSPECTION PROCEDURE (see page 05-679).
MONITOR DESCRIPTION
The ECM tests the Evaporative Emissions (EVAP) system using the fuel tank pressure sensor, Canister
Close Valve (CCV), and EVAP VSV. The ECM closes the EVAP system and creates negative pressure (vacu-
um) into it. The ECM then monitors the internal pressure using the fuel tank pressure sensor (refer to the
Leak Check graphic).
P0442, P0455 and P0456
A leak in the evaporative emission system prompts the ECM to set DTC P0442, P0455 or P0456.
The ECM checks if the EVAP has leaks. First, the ECM opens the EVAP VSV while the CCV is closed. After
a sufficient amount of time has passed, a high negative pressure(vacuum) will develop in the fuel tank as
air is drawn into the intake manifold. The EVAP VSV is then closed. The ECM then monitors the pressure
increase (loss of vacuum) in the fuel tank. If the pressure rises beyond a specified amount, the ECM deter-
mines that the system has a leak, turns on the MIL and outputs a DTC.
The ECM has separate DTCs for small and large leaks:
(1) DTC P0442 is set when the internal fuel tank pressure has a large increase and the EVAP system
has a small leak.
(2) DTC P0455 is set when the EVAP system has a very large leak. The ECM tries to create negative
pressure (vacuum) in the fuel tank by opening the EVAP VSV while the CCV is closed. However,
the fuel tank pressure does not decrease beyond a specified threshold.
(3) DTC P0456 is set when the internal fuel tank pressure increases slightly and the EVAP system
has a very small leak.
