CODE NAME
EVAP Leak Monitor Small Leak Detected
BACKGROUND
- The PCM monitors that the fuel tank, purge lines, etc. are sealed well.
- When monitoring, the PCM pressurizes the purge lines by activating the leak detection pump with the canister ventilation valve (incorporated in the solenoid) closed.
- If the fuel tank and purge lines are sealed correctly, the pressure will rise well by activating the solenoid specific times
- After the pressure rises well, the diaphragm inside the solenoid will not work any more.
- If the purge air leaks slightly, the solenoid will be activated more than specific times.
CHECK AREA
- All areas of evaporative system.
JUDGEMENT CRITERIA
- When a hole 1 - 2 mm in diameter is opened in the evaporative system. When a considerable amount of evaporating gas leak is detected.
PROBABLE CAUSE
- Defective fuel tank filler tube assembly
- Defective hose between leak detection pump and intake manifold
- Defective leak detection pump
