Monitor Description
The EVAP monitor's purpose is to check for EVAP leaks and EVAP VSV and CCV malfunctions. The monitor performs the check by first introducing the intake manifold's negative pressure (vacuum) to the EVAP system. Then, the monitor records change in the EVAP system's pressure levels. The monitor runs when the following conditions are met:
- The engine coolant and intake air temperatures are 4 to 35°C (40 to 90°F).
- The engine is idling or the vehicle is being driven at a steady speed.
- The fuel tank pressure is stabilized.
LEVII EVAP Monitor Process
SEQUENCE DESCRIPTION
| Sequence | Operation | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Fuel vapor measurement | EVAP VSV is turned OFF (closed) and EVAP pressure is measured. If EVAP pressure is not stable, EVAP monitor is canceled to prevent inaccurate monitor. |
| 2 | Vacuum introduction | EVAP VSV is turned ON (open) and CCV is turned ON (closed). As a result, intake manifold pressure (vacuum) is introduced to EVAP system. |
| 3 | EVAP leak check | EVAP VSV is turned OFF (closed) to seal EVAP system. EVAP pressure increase is measured for 5 seconds when EVAP pressure is -20 mmHg and -17 mmHg. If increase is large, ECM concludes EVAP system has leak. |
| 4 | Restore | CCV is turned OFF (open) to finish EVAP monitor. |
