Function of Main Components
ComponentFunction
CanisterContains activated charcoal to absorb the vapor gas that is created in the
fuel tank.
Refueling
Controls the flow rate of the vapor gas from the fuel tank to the canister
when the system is purging or during refueling.
Refueling
Va l v eRestrictor PassagePrevents a large amount of vacuum during purge operation or system
monitoring operation from affecting the pressure in the fuel tank.
Fresh Air LineFresh air goes into the canister and the cleaned drain air goes out into
the atmosphere.
Vent ValveOpens and closes the fresh air line in accordance with the signals from
the ECM.
Canister
Pump ModuleLeak Detection
PumpApplies vacuum pressure to the EVAP control system in accordance
with the signals from the ECM.
p
Canister
Pressure SensorDetects the pressure in the EVAP control system and sends the signals
to the ECM.
Purge VSV
Opens in accordance with the signals from the ECM when the system
is purging, in order to send the vapor gas that was absorbed by the
canister into the intake manifold. In system monitoring mode, this valve
controls the introduction of the vacuum into the fuel tank.
Canister FilterPrevents dust and debris in the fresh air from entering the system.
ECM
Controls the canister pump module and purge VSV in accordance with
the signals from various sensors, in order to achieve a purge volume that
suits the driving conditions. In addition, the ECM monitors the system
for any leakage and outputs a DTC if a malfunction is found.

3) Canister Pump Module
Canister pump module consists of the vent valve, leak detection pump, and canister pressure sensor.
The vent valve switches the passages in accordance with the signals received from the ECM.
A DC type brushless motor is used for the pump motor.
A vane type vacuum pump is used.

System Operation
1) Purge Flow Control
When the engine has satisfied the predetermined conditions (closed loop, engine coolant temperature
above 74
C (165F), etc.), the stored vapor gas are purged from the canister whenever the purge VSV
is opened by the ECM.
The ECM will change the duty ratio cycle of the purge VSV, thus controlling purge flow volume. Purge
flow volume is determined by intake manifold pressure and the duty ratio cycle of the purge VSV.
Atmospheric pressure is allowed into the canister to ensure that purge flow is constantly maintained
whenever purge vacuum is applied to the canister.
2) ORVR (On-board Refueling Vapor Recovery)
When the internal pressure of the fuel tank increases during refueling, this pressure causes the diaphragm
in the refueling valve to lift up, allowing the vapor gas to enter the canister. Because the vent valve is
always open (even when the engine is stopped) when the system is in a mode other than the monitoring
mode, the air that has been cleaned through the canister is discharged outside the vehicle via the fresh
air line. If the vehicle is refueled in the monitoring mode, the ECM will recognize the refueling by way
of the canister pressure sensor, which detects the sudden pressure increase in the fuel tank, and will open
the vent valve.

b. Atmospheric Pressure Measurement
1) When the ignition switch is turned OFF, the purge VSV and vent valve are turned OFF. Therefore,
the atmospheric pressure is introduced into the canister.
2) The ECM measures the atmospheric pressure through the signals provided by the canister pressure
sensor.
3) If the measurement value is out of standards, the ECM actuates the leak detection pump in order
to monitor the changes in the pressure.

c. 0.02 in. Leak Pressure Measurement
1) The vent valve remains OFF, and the ECM introduces atmospheric pressure into the canister and
actuates the leak detection pump in order to create a negative pressure.
2) At this time, the pressure will not decrease beyond a 0.02 in. leak pressure due to the atmospheric
pressure that enters through a 0.02 in. diameter reference orifice.
3) The ECM compares the logic value with this pressure, and stores it as a 0.02 in. leak pressure in its
memory.
4) If the measurement value is below the standard, the ECM will determine that the reference orifice
is clogged and store DTC (Diagnostic Trouble Code) P043E in its memory.
5) If the measurement value is above the standard, the ECM will determine that a high flow rate pressure
is passing through the reference orifice and store DTCs (Diagnostic Trouble Codes) P043F, P2401
and P2402 in its memory.

d. EVAP Leak Check
1) While actuating the leak detection pump, the ECM turns ON the vent valve in order to introduce a
vacuum into the canister.
2) When the pressure in the system stabilizes, the ECM compares this pressure with the 0.02 in. leak
pressure in order to check for a leakage.
3) If the measurement value is below the 0.02 in. leak pressure, the ECM determines that there is no
leakage.
4) If the measurement value is above the 0.02 in. leak pressure and near atmospheric pressure, the ECM
determines that there is a gross leakage (large hole) and stores DTC P0455 in its memory.
5) If the measurement value is above the 0.02 in. leak pressure, the ECM determines that there is a small
leakage and stores DTC P0456 in its memory.

e. Purge VSV Monitor
1) After completing an EVAP leak check, the ECM turns ON (open) the purge VSV with the leak
detection pump actuated, and introduces the atmospheric pressure from the intake manifold to the
canister.
2) If the pressure change at this time is within the normal range, the ECM determines the condition to
be normal.
3) If the pressure is out of the normal range, the ECM will stop the purge VSV monitor and store DTC
P0441 in its memory.

f. Repeat 0.02 in. Leak Pressure Measurement
1) While the ECM operates the vacuum pump, the purge VSV and vent valve turn off and a repeat 0.02
in. leak pressure measurement is performed.
2) The ECM compares the measured pressure with the pressure during EVAP leak check.
3) If the pressure during the EVAP leak check is below the measured value, the ECM determines that
there is no leakage.
4) If the pressure during the EVAP leak check is above the measured value, the ECM determines that
there is a small leakage and stores DTC P0456 in its memory.
