DIAPHRAGM DOWNWARD MOVEMENT
Based on reed switch input, the PCM de-energizes
the LDP solenoid, causing it to block the vacuum port,
and open the atmospheric port. This connects the
upper pump cavity to atmosphere through the EVAP
air filter. The spring is now able to push the diaphragm
down. The downward movement of the diaphragm
closes the inlet check valve and opens the outlet
check valve pumping air into the evaporative system.
The LDP reed switch turns from open to closed, allow-
ing the PCM to monitor LDP pumping (diaphragm
up/down) activity. During the pumping mode, the dia-
phragm will not move down far enough to open the
vent valve. The pumping cycle is repeated as the sole-
noid is turned on and off. When the evaporative sys-
tem begins to pressurize, the pressure on the bottom
of the diaphragm will begin to oppose the spring pres-
sure, slowing the pumping action. The PCM watches
the time from when the solenoid is de-energized, until
the diaphragm drops down far enough for the reed
switch to change from opened to closed. If the reed
switch changes too quickly, a leak may be indicated.
The longer it takes the reed switch to change state, the tighter the evaporative system is sealed. If the system
pressurizes too quickly, a restriction somewhere in the EVAP system may beindicated.
PUMPING ACTION
Action : During portions of this test, the PCM uses the
reed switch to monitor diaphragm movement. The
solenoid is only turned on by the PCM after the reed
switch changes from open to closed, indicating that
the diaphragm has moved down. At other times during
the test, the PCM will rapidly cycle the LDP solenoid
on and off to quickly pressurize the system. During
rapid cycling, the diaphragm will not move enough to
change the reed switch state. In the state of rapid
cycling, the PCM will use a fixed time interval to cycle
the solenoid. If the system does not pass the EVAP
Leak Detection Test, the following DTCs may be set:
P0442 - EVAP LEAK MONITOR 0.040LEAK

P0455 - EVAP LEAK MONITOR LARGE LEAK

PUMP-NATURAL VAC LEAK DETECTION
DESCRIPTION
Vehicles equipped with an NGC Powertrain Control Module (PCM) use a Natural Vacuum Leak Detection (NVLD)
pump and system. Vehicles equipped with a JTEC PCM use an LDP (Leak Detection Pump). Refer to Leak Detec-
tion Pump (LDP) for additional information.
The NVLD pump is located in the same area as the leak detection pump. Refer toNVLD Removal / Installation for
additional information.
OPERATION
The Natural Vacuum Leak Detection (NVLD) system is the next generation evaporative leak detection system that
will first be used on vehicles equipped with the Next Generation Controller (NGC). This new system replaces the
leak detection pump as the method of evaporative system leak detection. This is to detect a leak equivalent to a
0.020
(0.5 mm) hole. This system has the capability to detect holes of this size very dependably.
The basic leak detection theory employed with NVLD is the
Gas Law. This is to say that the pressure in a sealed
vessel will change if the temperature of the gas in the vessel changes. The vessel will only see this effect if it is
indeed sealed. Even small leaks will allow the pressure in the vessel to come to equilibrium with the ambient pres-
sure. In addition to the detection of very small leaks, this system has the capability of detecting medium as well as
large evaporative system leaks.
A vent valve seals the canister vent during engine off conditions. If the vapor system has a leak of less than the
failure threshold, the evaporativesystem will be pulled into a vacuum, either due to the cool down from operating
temperature or diurnal ambient temperature cycling. The diurnal effect is considered one of the primary contributors
to the leak determination by this diagnostic. When the vacuum in the systemexceeds about 1
H2O (0.25 KPA), a
vacuum switch closes. The switch closure sends a signal to the NGC. The NGC,via appropriate logic strategies,
utilizes the switch signal, or lack thereof, to make a determination of whether a leak is present.
The NVLD device is designed with a normally open vacuum switch, a normally closed solenoid, and a seal, which
is actuated by both the solenoid and a diaphragm. The NVLD is located on the atmospheric vent side of the can-
ister. The NVLD assembly may be mounted on top of the canister outlet, or in-line between the canister and atmo-
spheric vent filter. The normally open vacuum switch will close with about1
H2O (0.25 KPA) vacuum in the
evaporative system. The diaphragm actuates the switch. This is above the opening point of the fuel inlet check valve
in the fill tube so cap off leaks can be detected. Submerged fill systems must have recirculation lines that do not
have the in-line normally closed check valve that protects the system fromfailednozzleliquidingestion,inorderto
detect cap off conditions.
The normally closed valve in the NVLD is intended to maintain the seal on theevaporative system during the engine
off condition. If vacuum in the evaporative system exceeds 3
to 6H2O (0.75 to 1.5 KPA), the valve will be pulled
off the seat, opening the seal. This will protect the system from excessivevacuum as well as allowing sufficient
purge flow in the event that the solenoid was to become inoperative.
The solenoid actuates the valve to unseal the canister vent while the engine is running. It also will be used to close
the vent during the medium and large leak tests and during the purge flow check. This solenoid requires an initial
1.5 amps of current to pull the valveopen, but after 100 mili-seconds, willbedutycycleddowntoanaverageof
about 150 mA for the remainder of the drive cycle.
Another feature in the device is a diaphragm that will open the seal in the NVLD with pressure in the evaporative
system. The device will
blow offat about 0.5H2O (0.12 KPA) pressure to permit the venting of vapors during
refueling. An added benefit to this is that it will also allow the tank to
breatheduring increasing temperatures, thus
limiting the pressure in the tank to this low level. This is beneficial because the induced vacuum during a subse-
quent declining temperature will achieve the switch closed (pass threshold) sooner than if the tank had to decay
from a built up pressure.
The device itself has 3 wires: Switch sense, solenoid driver and ground. Italso includes a resistor to protect the
switch from a short to battery or a short to ground. The NGC utilizes a high-side driver to energize and duty-cycle
the solenoid.
