Dtc summary

Hint:
The vent valve is built into the canister pump module.
Description
The description can be found in the evap (evaporative emission) system (see page es-335).
Inspection procedure
Refer to the evap system (see page es-340).
Monitor description
5 Hours* after the ignition switch is turned off, the leak detection pump creates negative pressure (vacuum) in the evap system. The ecm monitors for leaks and actuator malfunctions based on the evap pressure.
Hint:
*: If the engine coolant temperature is not below 35°c (95°f) 5 hours after the ignition switch is turned off, the monitor check starts 2 hours later. If it is still not below 35°c (95°f) 7 hours after the ignition switch is turned off, the monitor check starts 2.5 Hours later.


*: If only a small amount of fuel is in the fuel tank, it takes longer for the evap pressure to stabilize.

In operation b, the leak detection pump creates negative pressure (a vacuum) through the reference orifice. The evap system pressure is then measured by the ecm, using the canister pressure sensor, to determine the reference pressure. If the pressure exceeds -1.057 Kpa-g (-7.93 Mmhg-g) 4 seconds after the leak detection pump is turned on, the ecm interprets this as the vent valve being stuck closed.
The ecm illuminates the mil and sets the dtc (2 trip detection logic).

In operation c, the vent valve turns on (closes) and the evap system pressure is then measured by the ecm, using the canister pressure sensor, to conduct an evap leak check. If the pressure does not increase when the vent valve is open, the ecm interprets this as the vent valve being stuck open. The ecm illuminates the mil and sets the dtc.

Monitor strategy

Typical enabling conditions



Typical malfunction thresholds
"Saturated" indicates that the evap pressure change is less than 0.286 Kpa-g (2.14 Mmhg-g) in 60 seconds.

Hood
Release the lock from the
inside of the vehicle to open
the hood.
Opening the hood
1. Pull the hood lock release
lever.
The hood will pop up slightly.
2. Push the auxiliary catch lever
to the left and lift the hood.
3. Hold the hood open by inserting
the supporting rod into
the slot.

Inspection
Inspect cylinder block for warpage
Using a precision straightedge and feeler gauge,
measure the warpage of the surface that is in
contact with the cylinder head gasket.
Maximum warpage:
0.05 Mm (0.0020 In.)
If the warpage is greater than the maximum, replace
the cylinder block ...
