CRANKCASE VENTILATION SYSTEMM2171000400129
A blow-by gas reduction device prevents blow-by
gas from being expelled into the atmosphere and is
of closed type. A positive crankcase ventilation
(PCV) valve is provided in the ventilation hose from
the rocker cover to the intake manifold. During low
load driving, clean air is supplied to the crankcase by
the air intake hose via the breather hose and rocker
cover, and it mixes with the blow-by gas in the crank
-
case. The blow-by gas in the crankcase is induced to
the intake manifold through the rocker cover and
PCV valve. During high load driving, blow-by gas in
the crankcase is induced to the intake manifold
through the rocker cover and PCV valve and at the
same time also via the air intake hose and throttle
body due to negative pressure in the air cleaner.

<California>HC decrease
During cold operation of engine, exhaust HC is
temporarily absorbed. And then Exhaust HC is
released when temperature reaches to level at
which catalyst is activated. This allows HC to be
reduced.

EVAPORATIVE EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEMM2171000200147
HC (hydrocarbon) generated in the fuel tank are
adsorbed by the active carbon in the canister and
stored. HC stored in the canister is introduced to the
intake manifold when engine is in operation where it
is mixed with intake air and combusted. ECM intro
-
duces optimum HC amount according to driving con-
ditions and so performs duty control on the
evaporative emission purge solenoid. Also, the evap
-
orative emission purge solenoid is closed during
deceleration or immediately after engine start to
restrict change in air-fuel ratio and prevent engine
from stalling.

EVAPORATIVE EMISSION PURGE SOLENOID
An evaporative emission purge solenoid is installed in the
intake manifold.The evaporative emission purge solenoid con
-
trols the intake volume of fuel vapor gas from the canister. The
evaporative emission purge solenoid is a duty control type
solenoid valve. When current is not passing through the coil,
nipple A is kept airtight and fuel vapor gas cannot be sucked in.
When current passes through the coil, air can pass between
nipple A and B and fuel vapor gas is sucked in. ECM changes
the ON duty ratio according to engine's operating condition to
control the intake volume of fuel vapor gas.
EXHAUST GAS RECIRCULATION (EGR) SYSTEM <California>M2171000300122
When the combustion gas temperature becomes
high, generation of the environment polluting NOx
(nitrogen oxides) increases rapidly. EGR system is
used to decrease the volume of NOx generated.
EGR system re-circulates exhaust gas inside the
intake manifold. It increases specific heat of the com
-
bustion gases and reduces combustion speed to lower the combustion temperature and reduce the
volume of NOx generated. ECM calculates the EGR
introduction volume according to engine operating
conditions and controls the EGR valve opening angle
at optimum. Also, immediately after the ignition
switch ON signal is input, it drives fully closed step
-
per motor and performs initialization.

HEATED OXYGEN SENSOR (3RD)
The heated oxygen sensor (3rd) is installed to the HC trap cat-
alytic converter. The heated oxygen sensor (3rd) detects the
oxygen density of the exhaust gas and outputs the voltage to
the ECM in accordance with the oxygen density.
The ECM uses this output voltage to detect the deterioration of
the HC trap catalytic converter. The structure of the heated oxy
-
gen sensor (3rd) is the same as that of the heated oxygen sen-
sor (rear) installed in the exhaust pipe.
HC TRAP CATALYTIC CONVERTER
DETERIORATION MONITOR
The ECM detects the deterioration of the HC trap catalytic con-
verter.
When reaching the certain operating range, the ECM begins
monitoring the difference in the feedback time between the
heated oxygen sensor (rear) on the upstream of the HC trap
catalyst and the heated oxygen sensor (3rd) on the down
-
stream of the HC trap catalyst. This monitoring allows the ECM
to detect the deterioration of the HC trap catalytic converter.
