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

DTC Confirmation ProcedureNBEC0335CAUTION:
Always drive vehicle at a safe speed.
NOTE:
If ªDTC Confirmation Procedureº has been previously conducted,
always turn ignition switch ªOFFº and wait at least 10 seconds
before conducting the next test.
TESTING CONDITION:
Always perform test at a temperature of 5ÉC (41ÉF) or more.
WITH CONSULT-IINBEC0335S011) Start engine and warm it up to normal operating temperature.
2) Turn ignition switch ªOFFº and wait at least 10 seconds.
3) Start engine and let it idle for at least 70 seconds.
4) Select ªPURG FLOW P1447º of ªEVAPORATIVE SYSTEMº in
ªDTC CONFIRMATIONº mode with CONSULT-II.
5) Touch ªSTARTº.
If ªCOMPLETEDº is displayed, go to step 7.
6) When the following conditions are met, ªTESTINGº will be dis-
played on the CONSULT-II screen. Maintain the conditions
continuously until ªTESTINGº changes to ªCOMPLETEDº. (It
will take at least 35 seconds.)
Selector lever Suitable position
Vehicle speed 32 - 120 km/h (20 - 75 MPH)
ENG SPEED 500 - 3,000 rpm
B/FUEL SCHDL 1.0 - 10 msec
Engine coolant temperature More than 70ÉC (158ÉF)
If ªTESTINGº is not changed for a long time, retry from
step 2.
7) Make sure that ªOKº is displayed after touching ªSELF-DIAG
RESULTSº. If ªNGº is displayed, refer to ªDiagnostic
Procedureº, EC-564.

Overall Function CheckNBEC0336Use this procedure to check the overall monitoring function of the
EVAP control system purge flow monitoring. During this check, a
1st trip DTC might not be confirmed.
WITH GSTNBEC0336S011) Lift up drive wheels.
2) Start engine (TCS switch ªOFFº) and warm it up to normal
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.
Air conditioner switch ON
Steering wheel Fully turned
Headlamp switch ON
Rear window defogger switch ON
Engine speed Approx. 3,000 rpm
Gear position Any position other than ªPº, ªNº or ªRº
8) Verify that EVAP control system pressure sensor value stays
0.1V less than the value at idle speed (measured at step 6) for
at least 1 second.
9) If NG, go to ªDiagnostic Procedureº, EC-564.
