EVAPORATIVE EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM
GENERAL INFORMATION
The evaporative emission control system prevents
fuel vapours generated in the fuel tank from
escaping into the atmosphere.
Fuel vapours from the fuel tank flow through the
fuel tank pressure control valve and vapour
pipe/hose to be stored temporarily in the canister.
When driving the vehicle, fuel vapours stored in
the canister flow through the purge solenoid and
purge port and go into the intake manifold to be
sent to the combustion chamber.When the engine coolant temperature is low or
when the intake air quantity is small (when the
engine is at idle, for example), the engine control
unit turns the purge solenoid off to shut off the
fuel vapour flow to the intake manifold.
This does not only insure the driveability when the
engine is cold or running under low load but also
stabilize the emission level.

EXHAUST GAS RECIRCULATION (EGR) SYSTEM
GENERAL INFORMATION
The exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) system lowers
the nitrogen oxide (NOx) emission level. When the
air/fuel mixture combustion temperature is high,
a large quantity of nitrogen oxides (NOx) is
generated in the combustion chamber. Therefore,
this system recirculates part of emission gas fromthe exhaust port of the cylinder head to the
combustion chamber through the intake manifold
to decrease the air/fuel mixture combustion
temperature, resulting in reduction of NOx.
The EGR flow rate is controlled by the EGR valve
so as not to decrease the driveability.
OPERATION
The EGR valve is being closed and does not
recirculate exhaust gases under one of the following
conditions. Otherwise, the EGR valve is opened
and recirculates exhaust gases.DThe engine coolant temperature is low.
DThe engine is at idle.
DThe throttle valve is widely opened.

CATALYTIC CONVERTER
GENERAL INFORMATION
The three-way catalytic converter, together with
the closed loop air-fuel ratio control based on the
oxygen sensor signal, oxidizes carbon monoxides
(CO) and hydrocarbons (HC) and reduces nitrogen
oxides (NOx).When the mixture is controlled at stoichiometric
air-fuel ratio, the three-way catalytic converter
provides the highest purification against the three
constituents, namely, CO, HC and NOx.

Inspection procedure 2
The ignition keys cannot be registered using the MUT-II.
Probable cause
The ignition key has not been registered with the immobilizer-ECU. Or that there
is a problem with the immobilizer-ECU.DMalfunction of ignition key
DMalfunction of harness or connector
DMalfunction of immobilizer-ECU
Register the ignition key.
YES
NO YESIs a normal diagnosis code output?
NOCan none of the ignition keys be registered?Replace the ignition key that cannot be registered.
To Chart Classified by Diagnosis Codes (Refer to P.54A-6.)
OKImmobilizer-ECU power supply and earth circuit system check

NG
Replace the immobilizer-ECU.
Check the trouble symptoms.
Inspection procedure 3
The engine does not start. (The engine cranks but does
not fire.)
Probable cause
If the fuel injection does not operate, the cause is probably a problem with the
immobilizer-ECU, or it could also be a problem with the MPI system. If an
attempt has been made to start the engine with a key that has not been
properly registered, the above symptom is a sign of normal operation.DMalfunction of MPI system.
