DESCRIPTION
The canister mounts to a left rear rail in the rear of the vehicle. The vacuum and vapor tube connect to the top of the canister.
OPERATION
All vehicles use a maintenance free, evaporative (EVAP) canister. Fuel tank vapors vent into the canister. The canister temporarily holds the fuel vapors until intake manifold vacuum draws them into the combustion chamber. The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) purges the canister through the proportional purge solenoid. The PCM purges the canister at predetermined intervals and engine conditions.
The plastic fuel fill cap is threaded/quarter turn onto the end of the fuel filler tube. It's purpose is to retain vapors and fuel in the fuel tank.
The loss of any fuel vapor out of fuel filler tube is prevented by the use of pressure-vacuum fuel fill cap. Relief valves inside the cap will release fuel tank pressure at predetermined pressures. Fuel tank vacuum will also be released at predetermined values. This cap must be replaced by a similar unit if replacement is necessary. This is in order for the system to remain effective.
| CAUTION | Remove the fill cap before servicing any fuel system component to relieve fuel tank pressure. If the cap is left off or loose, a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) may be set. |
Scheme 20
The fuel tank pressure sensor provides the PCM with information on vapor pressure inside the fuel tank. The sensor is a diaphragm-type pressure sensor and varies its voltage output depending on fuel tank pressure. When the fuel tank isolation valve is activated (closed), preventing fuel vapors from leaving the tank, the PCM will monitor the fuel tank pressure sensor to prevent pressure from increasing or decreasing to an unsafe level.
Excessive fuel tank pressure could cause fuel vapors to vent out the fuel filler cap or damage system components while insufficient fuel tank pressure (vacuum) caused by lack of air entering the tank to take the place of consumed fuel could lead to collapsed tank, lines or loss of fuel pressure.

Note. The Fuel Tank Pressure sensor is located under the rear of the vehicle, and is integrated in the vent tube coming from the fuel pump module.

The vehicle uses a Linear Purge Valve. The linear purge valve is a solenoid that regulates the rate of vapor flow from the EVAP canister to the intake manifold. The PCM operates the linear purge valve.
All vehicles use a linear purge valve. The linear purge valve is a solenoid that regulates the rate of vapor flow from the evaporative emission (EVAP) canister to the intake manifold. The powertrain control module (PCM) operates the linear purge valve.
During the cold start warm-up period and the hot start time delay, the PCM does not energize the solenoid. When de-energized, no vapors are purged.
The linear purge valve operates at a frequency of 200 Hz and is controlled by an engine controller circuit that senses the current being applied to the linear purge valve and then adjusts that current to achieve the desired purge flow. The linear purge valve controls the purge rate of fuel vapors from the vapor canister and fuel tank to the engine intake manifold.

The EGR system reduces oxides of nitrogen (NOx) in the engine exhaust. This is accomplished by allowing a predetermined amount of hot exhaust gas to recirculate and dilute the incoming fuel/air mixture.
A malfunctioning EGR system can cause engine stumble, sags, or hesitation, rough idle, engine stalling and poor driveability.
An EGR valve assembly is located toward the front of the engine. An EGR solenoid, located on top of the intake manifold near EGR valve. The EGR solenoid controls the "on time" of the EGR valve. The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) operates the EGR solenoid. The vacuum pump supplies vacuum for the EGR solenoid and the EGR valve. This pump also supplies vacuum for operation of the power brake booster and the heating and air conditioning system. The pump is located in the rear of the cylinder head and is driven by the exhaust camshaft. When the PCM supplies a variable ground signal to the EGR solenoid, EGR system operation begins. The PCM will monitor and determine when to supply and remove this variable ground signal. This will depend on inputs from the engine coolant temperature, throttle position and engine speed sensors. When the variable ground signal is supplied to the EGR solenoid, vacuum will be allowed to pass through the EGR solenoid and on to the EGR valve through a connecting hose.
Exhaust gas recirculation will begin in this order when
- The PCM determines that EGR system operation is necessary.
- The engine is running to operate the vacuum pump.
- A variable ground signal is supplied to the EGR solenoid.
- Variable vacuum passes through the EGR solenoid to the EGR valve.
- The inlet seat (poppet valve) at the bottom of the EGR valve opens to dilute and recirculate exhaust gas back into the mixing chamber.
The EGR system will be shut down by the PCM after 60 seconds of continuous engine idling to improve idle quality.
The EGR valve is mounted inline to the EGR cooler.
The engines use Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) systems. The EGR system reduces oxides of nitrogen (NOx) in engine exhaust and helps prevent detonation (engine knock). Under normal operating conditions, engine cylinder temperature can reach more than 1649°C (3000°F). Formation of NOx increases proportionally with combustion temperature. To reduce the emission of these oxides, the cylinder temperature must be lowered. The system allows a predetermined amount of hot exhaust gas to recirculate and dilute the incoming air/fuel mixture. The diluted air/fuel mixture reduces peak flame temperature during combustion.

The PCM is responsible for efficiently coordinating the operation of all the emissions-related components. The PCM is also responsible for determining if the diagnostic systems are operating properly. The software designed to carry out these responsibilities is call the "Task Manager".
The Task Manager determines when tests happen and when functions occur. Many of the diagnostic steps required by OBD II must be performed under specific operating conditions. The Task Manager software organizes and prioritizes the diagnostic procedures. The job of the Task Manager is to determine if conditions are appropriate for tests to be run, monitor the parameters for a trip for each test, and record the results of the test. Following are the responsibilities of the Task Manager software
- Test Sequence
- MIL Illumination
- Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs)
- Trip Indicator
- Freeze Frame Data Storage
- Similar Conditions Window
