The scan tool indicates Dlagnostic Trouble cod€ {DTc} Po4ol: lnsufficient flow in the Exhaust Gas Recirculation
(EGR) svstem.
Doscription
Deterioration (clogging, leakage, etc.) in the EGR line or EGR valve is detected by means of the changes in MAP before
and after the operation of the EGR valve.
lf deterioration has been detected during two cons€cutive driving cycles, the MIL will come on and DTC P0401 will be
stored.
Po$ible Causeg
. Clogging. leakage in the EGR line
. Faulty EGR valve

Evaporative Emission (EVAPI Controls
Description
The evaporative emission controls are designed to minimize the amount of fuel vapor escaping to the atmosphere. The
system consists of the foliowing components:
A. Evaporative Emission (EVAP) Control Canisto]
An EVAP control canister is used for the temporary storage of fuel vapor until the fuel vapor can be purged from the
EVAP control canister into the engine and burned.
B. Vapor Purge Control System
EVAP control canister purging is accomplished by drawing fresh air through the EVAP control canister and into a port
on the intake manifold. The purging vacuum is controlled by the EVAP purge control solenoid valve.

Fuel Tank Vapor Control System
When fuel vapor pressure in the fuel tank is higher than the set value of the EVAP two way valve, the valve opens and
regulates the flow of fuel vapor to the EVAP control canister.
Onboard Refueling Vapor Recovery (ORVRI System {'99 - 00 models}
During refueling. the oRVR {onboard Refueling Vapor Recovery) vent shut valve opens with the pressure in the fuel
tank. and feeds the fuel vapor to the EVAP control canister.
