Non-emissions related failures have no priority.
One trip failures of two trip faults have low priority.
Two trip failures or matured faults have higher pri-
ority. One and two trip failures of fuel system and
misfire monitor take precedence over non-fuel system
and non-misfire failures.
DTC Self Erasure
With one trip components or systems, the MIL is
illuminated upon test failure and DTCs are stored.
Two trip monitors are components requiring failure
in two consecutive trips for MIL illumination. Upon
failure of the first test, the Task Manager enters a
maturing code. If the component fails the test for a
second time the code matures and a DTC is set.
After three good trips the MIL is extinguished and
the Task Manager automatically switches the trip
counter to a warm-up cycle counter. DTCs are auto-
matically erased following 40 warm-up cycles if the
component does not fail again.
For misfire and fuel system monitors, the compo-
nent must pass the test under a Similar Conditions
Window in order to record a good trip. A Similar Con-
ditions Window is when engine RPM is within 375
RPM and load is within 10% of when the fault
occurred.
NOTE: It is important to understand that a compo-
nent does not have to fail under a similar window of
operation to mature. It must pass the test under a
Similar Conditions Window when it failed to record
a Good Trip for DTC erasure for misfire and fuel
system monitors.
DTCs can be erased anytime with a DRB III. Eras-
ing the DTC with the DRB III erases all OBD II
information. The DRB III automatically displays a
warning that erasing the DTC will also erase all
OBD II monitor data. This includes all counter infor-
mation for warm-up cycles, trips and Freeze Frame.
Trip Indicator
TheTripis essential for running monitors and
extinguishing the MIL. In OBD II terms, a trip is a
set of vehicle operating conditions that must be met
for a specific monitor to run. All trips begin with a
key cycle.
Good Trip
The Good Trip counters are as follows:
²Specific Good Trip
²Fuel System Good Trip
²Misfire Good Trip
²Alternate Good Trip (appears as a Global Good
Trip on DRB III)
²Comprehensive Components
²Major Monitor
²Warm-Up CyclesSpecific Good Trip
The term Good Trip has different meanings
depending on the circumstances:
²If the MIL is OFF, a trip is defined as when the
Oxygen Sensor Monitor and the Catalyst Monitor
have been completed in the same drive cycle.
²If the MIL is ON and a DTC was set by the Fuel
Monitor or Misfire Monitor (both continuous moni-
tors), the vehicle must be operated in the Similar
Condition Window for a specified amount of time.
²If the MIL is ON and a DTC was set by a Task
Manager commanded once-per-trip monitor (such as
the Oxygen Sensor Monitor, Catalyst Monitor, Purge
Flow Monitor, Leak Detection Pump Monitor, EGR
Monitor or Oxygen Sensor Heater Monitor), a good
trip is when the monitor is passed on the next start-
up.
²If the MIL is ON and any other emissions DTC
was set (not an OBD II monitor), a good trip occurs
when the Oxygen Sensor Monitor and Catalyst Mon-
itor have been completed, or two minutes of engine
run time if the Oxygen Sensor Monitor and Catalyst
Monitor have been stopped from running.
Fuel System Good Trip
To count a good trip (three required) and turn off
the MIL, the following conditions must occur:
²Engine in closed loop
²Operating in Similar Conditions Window
²Short Term multiplied by Long Term less than
threshold
²Less than threshold for a predetermined time
If all of the previous criteria are met, the PCM will
count a good trip (three required) and turn off the
MIL.
Misfire Good Trip
If the following conditions are met the PCM will
count one good trip (three required) in order to turn
off the MIL:
²Operating in Similar Condition Window
²1000 engine revolutions with no misfire
Warm-Up Cycles
Once the MIL has been extinguished by the Good
Trip Counter, the PCM automatically switches to a
Warm-Up Cycle Counter that can be viewed on the
DRB III. Warm-Up Cycles are used to erase DTCs
and Freeze Frames. Forty Warm-Up cycles must
occur in order for the PCM to self-erase a DTC and
Freeze Frame. A Warm-Up Cycle is defined as fol-
lows:
²Engine coolant temperature must start below
and rise above 160É F
²Engine coolant temperature must rise by 40É F
²No further faults occur

EVAPORATIVE EMISSIONS
DESCRIPTION
DESCRIPTION - EVAPORATION CONTROL
SYSTEM
The evaporation control system prevents the emis-
sion of fuel tank vapors into the atmosphere. When
fuel evaporates in the fuel tank, the vapors pass
through the control valve, through the fuel manage-
ment valve, and through vent hoses and tubes to a
charcoal filled evaporative canister. The canister tem-
porarily holds the vapors. The Powertrain Control
Module (PCM) allows intake manifold vacuum todraw vapors into the combustion chambers during
certain operating conditions.
Gas powered engines use a duty cycle purge sys-
tem. The PCM controls vapor flow by operating the
duty cycle EVAP purge solenoid. Refer to Duty Cycle
EVAP Canister Purge Solenoid.
When equipped with certain emissions packages, a
Leak Detection Pump (LDP) will be used as part of
the evaporative system for OBD II requirements.
Also refer to Leak Detection Pump.
Vehicles powered with gasoline engines are also
equipped with ORVR (On-Board Refueling Vapor
Recovery). Refer to ORVR for additional information.

NOTE: The evaporative system uses specially man-
ufactured lines/hoses. If replacement becomes nec-
essary, only use fuel resistant, low permeation
hose.

DESCRIPTION - CCV SYSTEM
The 4.0L 6±cylinder engine is equipped with a
Crankcase Ventilation (CCV) system. The system
consists of:
²A fixed orifice fitting of a calibrated size. This
fitting is pressed into a rubber grommet located on
the top/rear of cylinder head (valve) cover (Fig. 2).
²a pair of breather tubes (lines) to connect the
system components.
²the air cleaner housing.
²an air inlet fitting (Fig. 2).

During periods of high manifold vacuum, such as
idle or cruising speeds, vacuum is sufficient to com-
pletely compress spring. It will then pull the plunger
to the top of the valve (Fig. 6). In this position there
is minimal vapor flow through the valve.
During periods of moderate manifold vacuum, the
plunger is only pulled part way back from inlet. This
results in maximum vapor flow through the valve
(Fig. 7).

EVAP/PURGE SOLENOID
DESCRIPTION
The duty cycle EVAP canister purge solenoid (DCP)
regulates the rate of vapor flow from the EVAP can-
ister to the intake manifold. The Powertrain Control
Module (PCM) operates the solenoid.
OPERATION
During the cold start warm-up period and the hot
start time delay, the PCM does not energize the sole-
noid. When de-energized, no vapors are purged. The
PCM de-energizes the solenoid during open loop oper-
ation.
The engine enters closed loop operation after it
reaches a specified temperature and the time delay
ends. During closed loop operation, the PCM cycles
(energizes and de-energizes) the solenoid 5 or 10
times per second, depending upon operating condi-
tions. The PCM varies the vapor flow rate by chang-
ing solenoid pulse width. Pulse width is the amount
of time that the solenoid is energized. The PCM
adjusts solenoid pulse width based on engine operat-
ing condition.
REMOVAL
The duty cycle evaporative (EVAP) canister purge
solenoid is located in the engine compartment near
the brake master cylinder (Fig. 10).
(1) Disconnect electrical connector at solenoid.
(2) Disconnect vacuum lines at solenoid.
(3) Lift solenoid slot (Fig. 10) from mounting
bracket for removal.
INSTALLATION
(1) Position solenoid slot to mounting bracket.
(2) Connect vacuum lines to solenoid. Be sure vac-
uum lines are firmly connected and not leaking or
damaged. If leaking, a Diagnostic Trouble Code
(DTC) may be set with certain emission packages.
(3) Connect electrical connector to solenoid.
FUEL FILLER CAP
DESCRIPTION
The plastic fuel tank filler tube cap is threaded
onto the end of the fuel fill tube. Certain models are
equipped with a 1/4 turn cap.
OPERATION
The loss of any fuel or vapor out of fuel filler tube
is prevented by the use of a pressure-vacuum fuel fill
cap. Relief valves inside the cap will release fuel tank
pressure at predetermined pressures. Fuel tank vac-
uum will also be released at predetermined values.
This cap must be replaced by a similar unit if
replacement is necessary. This is in order for the sys-
tem to remain effective.
CAUTION: Remove fill cap before servicing any fuel
system component to relieve tank pressure. If
equipped with a California emissions package and a
Leak Detection Pump (LDP), the cap must be tight-
ened securely. If cap is left loose, a Diagnostic
Trouble Code (DTC) may be set.
REMOVAL
If replacement of the 1/4 turn fuel tank filler tube
cap is necessary, it must be replaced with an identi-
cal cap to be sure of correct system operation.

LEAK DETECTION PUMP
DESCRIPTION
The evaporative emission system is designed to
prevent the escape of fuel vapors from the fuel sys-
tem (Fig. 11). Leaks in the system, even small ones,
can allow fuel vapors to escape into the atmosphere.
Government regulations require onboard testing to
make sure that the evaporative (EVAP) system is
functioning properly. The leak detection system tests
for EVAP system leaks and blockage. It also performs
self-diagnostics. During self-diagnostics, the Power-
train Control Module (PCM) first checks the Leak
Detection Pump (LDP) for electrical and mechanical
faults. If the first checks pass, the PCM then uses
the LDP to seal the vent valve and pump air into the
system to pressurize it. If a leak is present, the PCM
will continue pumping the LDP to replace the air
that leaks out. The PCM determines the size of the
leak based on how fast/long it must pump the LDP
as it tries to maintain pressure in the system.
EVAP LEAK DETECTION SYSTEM COMPONENTS
Service Port: Used with special tools like the Miller
Evaporative Emissions Leak Detector (EELD) to test
for leaks in the system.
EVAP Purge Solenoid: The PCM uses the EVAP
purge solenoid to control purging of excess fuel
vapors stored in the EVAP canister. It remains closed
during leak testing to prevent loss of pressure.
EVAP Canister: The EVAP canister stores fuel
vapors from the fuel tank for purging.
EVAP Purge Orifice: Limits purge volume.
EVAP System Air Filter: Provides air to the LDP
for pressurizing the system. It filters out dirt while
allowing a vent to atmosphere for the EVAP system.

TURE IS NOT WITHIN A SPECIFIED RANGE OF THE
BATTERY TEMPERATURE, THE PCM WILL NOT
RUN TESTS FOR DTC P1494, P1486, P0442, P0455
AND P0441. THESE TEMPERATURE CALIBRATIONS
MAY BE DIFFERENT BETWEEN MODELS.
SECTION 1 - P1495 Leak Detection Pump
Solenoid Circuit-When the ignition key is turned
to9ON9, the LDP diaphragm should be in the down
position and the LDP reed switch should be closed. If
the EVAP system has residual pressure, the LDP dia-
phragm may be up. This could result in the LDP reed
switch being open when the key is turned to9ON9
and a P1494 fault could be set because the PCM is
expecting the reed switch to be closed.
After the key is turned9ON9, the PCM immedi-
ately tests the LDP solenoid circuit for electrical
faults. If a fault is detected, DTC P1495 will set, the

LEAK DETECTION PUMP (Continued)
MIL will illuminate, and the remaining EVAP Leak
Detection Test is canceled.
SECTION 2 - P1494 Leak Detection Pump
Switch or Mechanical Fault-If DTC P1495 is not
set, the PCM will check for DTC P1494. If the LDP
reed switch was closed when the key was turned to
9ON9, the PCM energizes the LDP solenoid for up to
8 seconds and monitors the LDP switch. As the LDP
diaphragm is pulled up by engine vacuum, the LDP
reed switch should change from closed to open. If it
does not, the PCM sets a temporary fault (P1494) in
memory, and waits until the next time the Enabling
Conditions are met to run the test again. If this is
again detected, P1494 is stored and the MIL is illu-
minated. If the problem is not detected during the
next enabling cycle, the temporary fault will be
cleared.
However, if the PCM detects the reed switch open
when the key is turned to9ON9, the PCM must deter-
mine if this condition is due to residual pressure in
the EVAP system, or an actual fault. The PCM stores
information in memory on EVAP system purging
from previous engine run or drive cycles.
If little or no purging took place, residual pressure
could be holding the LDP diaphragm up, causing the
LDP switch to be open. Since this is not a malfunc-
tion, the PCM cancels the EVAP Leak Detection Test
without setting the temporary fault.
If there was sufficient purging during the previous
cycle to eliminate EVAP system pressure, the PCM
judges that this is a malfunction and sets a tempo-
rary fault in memory. The next time that the
Enabling Conditions are met, the test will run again.
If the fault is again detected, the MIL will illuminate
and DTC P1494 will be stored. If the fault is not
detected, the temporary fault will be cleared.
SECTION 3 - P1486 EVAP Leak Monitor
Pinched Hose Found-If no fault has been detected
so far, the PCM begins testing for possible blockage
in the EVAP system between the LDP and the fuel
tank. This is done by monitoring the time required
for the LDP to pump air into the EVAP system dur-
ing two to three pump cycles. If no blockage is
present, the LDP diaphragm is able to quickly pump
air out of the LDP each time the PCM turns off the
LDP solenoid. If a blockage is present, the PCM
detects that the LDP takes longer to complete each
pump cycle. If the pump cycles take longer than
expected (approximately 6 to 10 seconds) the PCM
will suspect a blockage. On the next drive when
Enabling Conditions are met, the test will run again.
If blockage is again detected, P1486 is stored, and
the MIL is illuminated.
SECTION4-NoDTCCanBeSetDuring This
Time-After the LDP blockage tests are completed,
the PCM then tests for EVAP system leakage. First,the PCM commands the LDP to rapidly pump for 20
to 50 seconds (depending on fuel level) to build pres-
sure in the EVAP system. This evaluates the system
J18-24-0 to see if it can be sufficiently pressurized.
This evaluation (rapid pump cycling) may occur sev-
eral times prior to leak checking. The LDP reed
switch does not close and open during rapid pumping
because the diaphragm does not travel through its
full range during this part of the test.
SECTION 5 - P0456, P0442, P0455 EVAP Leak
Monitor and Leak Detected-Next, the PCM per-
forms one or more test cycles by monitoring the time
required for the LDP reed switch to close (diaphragm
to drop) after the LDP solenoid is turned off.
If the switch does not close, or closes after a long
delay, it means that the system does not have any
significant leakage and the EVAP Leak Detection
Test is complete.
However, if the LDP reed switch closes quickly,
there may be a leak or the fuel level may be low
enough that the LDP must pump more to finish pres-
surizing the EVAP system. In this case, the PCM will
rapidly pump the LDP again to build pressure in the
EVAP system, and follow that by monitoring the time
needed for several LDP test cycles. This process of
rapid pumping followed by several LDP test cycles
may repeat several times before the PCM judges that
a leak is present.
When leaks are present, the LDP test cycle time
will be inversely proportional to the size of the leak.
The larger the leak, the shorter the test cycle time.
The smaller the leak, the longer the test cycle time.
DTC's may be set when a leak as small as 0.5 mm
(0.0209) diameter is present.
If the system detects a leak, a temporary fault will
be stored in PCM memory. The time it takes to detect
a .020, .040, or Large leak is based on calibrations
that vary from model to model. The important point
to remember is if a leak is again detected on the next
EVAP Leak Detection Test, the MIL will illuminate
and a DTC will be stored based on the size of leak
detected. If no leak is detected during the next test,
the temporary fault will be cleared.
DIAGNOSTIC TIPS During diagnosis, you can
compare the LDP solenoid activity with the monitor
sequence in Figure 6. If the PCM detects a problem
that could set a DTC, the testing is halted and LDP
solenoid activity will stop. As each section of the test
begins, it indicates that the previous section passed
successfully. By watching to see which tests complete,
you can see if any conditions are present that the
PCM considers abnormal.
For example, if the LDP solenoid is energized for
the test cycles to test for blockage (P1486), it means
that the LDP has already passed its test for P1494.
Then, if the PCM detects a possible blockage, it will
