Emission Control System: Purpose
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Lexus IS 300. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The emission control systems are installed to reduce the amount of CO, HC and NOx exhausted from the engine (3) and (4), to prevent the atmospheric release of blow-by gas-containing HC (1) and evaporated fuel containing HC being released from the fuel tank (2).
The function of each system is shown in Fig 1.
Remark: *For inspection and repair of the SFI system, refer to SFI .
