Scheme 49
  1. The EVAP system test finds gas leaks or blockage of EVAP system using the changes of the fuel tank pressure. This test starts after sending an on-demand test signal from the M-MDS to the PCM. This test consists of three stages, and each stage is performed automatically as follows: Stage 1 test. (Test for large leak or blockage) M-MDS send the stage 1 test start signal to the PCM. PCM controls the CV solenoid valve and purge solenoid valve to control the tank pressure to the targeted value. M-MDS detect the large leak or the purge line blockage if the tank pressure does not arrive at the target vacuum in specified period. Stage 2 test. (Test for small leak) When fuel tank pressure arrived at the targeted pressure at stage 1 test, M-MDS send the stage 2 test signal to the PCM to turn off the purge solenoid to keep the tank pressure. M-MDS detect the small leak if the tank pressure can not keep within the target in specified period. Stage 3 test. (Test for blockage) M-MDS send the stage 3 test signal to the PCM to turn off the CV solenoid for check the blockage of EVAP system. M-MDS detect blockage of the CV solenoid valve or air filter if the tank pressure does not arrive at the target (atmosphere).
