Dtc summary

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 c, the leak detection pump creates negative pressure (vacuum) in the evap system and the evap system pressure is measured. If the stabilized system pressure is higher than [second reference pressure x 0.2] (Near atmospheric pressure), the ecm determines that the evap system has a large leakage, illuminates the mil and sets the dtc (2 trip detection logic).

General information
A large number of ecu controlled systems are used in the
rav4. In general, ecu controlled systems are considered to
be very intricate, requiring a high level of technical knowledge
to troubleshoot. However, most problem checking procedures
only involve inspecting the ecu controlled system's circ ...
