This system controls flow rate of fuel vapor from the EVAP canis-
ter. The opening of the vapor by-pass passage in the EVAP canis-
ter purge volume control solenoid valve changes to control the flow
rate. The EVAP canister purge volume control solenoid valve
repeats ON/OFF operation according to the signal sent from the
ECM. The opening of the valve varies for optimum engine control.
The optimum value stored in the ECM is determined by consider-
ing various engine conditions. When the engine is operating, the
flow rate of fuel vapor from the EVAP canister is regulated as the
air flow changes.
SEF337U
COMPONENT DESCRIPTIONNBEC0319S02The EVAP canister purge volume control solenoid valve uses a
ON/OFF duty to control the flow rate of fuel vapor from the EVAP
canister. The EVAP canister purge volume control solenoid valve
is moved by ON/OFF pulses from the ECM. The longer the ON
pulse, the greater the amount of fuel vapor that will flow through the
valve.

DTC P1446 EVAPORATIVE EMISSION (EVAP) CANISTER VENT CONTROL
VALVE (CLOSE)
Diagnostic Procedure (Cont'd)
EC-557

System DescriptionNBEC0333NOTE:
If DTC P1447 is displayed with P0510, perform trouble diagnosis for DTC P0510 first. (See EC-431.)
SEF373Z
In this evaporative emission (EVAP) control system, purge flow occurs during non-closed throttle conditions.
Purge volume is related to air intake volume. Under normal purge conditions (non-closed throttle), the EVAP
canister purge volume control solenoid valve is open to admit purge flow. Purge flow exposes the EVAP con-
trol system pressure sensor to intake manifold vacuum.
On Board Diagnosis LogicNBEC0334Under normal conditions (non-closed throttle), sensor output volt-
age indicates if pressure drop and purge flow are adequate. If not,
a fault is determined.
Malfunction is detected when EVAP control system does not oper-
ate properly, EVAP control system has a leak between intake mani-
fold and EVAP control system pressure sensor.
Possible CauseNBEC0590IEVAP canister purge volume control solenoid valve stuck
closed
IEVAP control system pressure sensor and the circuit
ILoose, disconnected or improper connection of rubber tube
IBlocked rubber tube
ICracked EVAP canister
IEVAP canister purge volume control solenoid valve circuit
IClosed throttle position switch

operating temperature.
3) Turn ignition switch ªOFFº, wait at least 10 seconds.
4) Start engine and wait at least 70 seconds.
5) Set voltmeter probes to ECM terminals 84 (EVAP control sys-
tem pressure sensor signal) and ground.
6) Check EVAP control system pressure sensor value at idle
speed and note it.
7) Establish and maintain the following conditions for at least 1
minute.
