Emission Gontrol System
System Description
Three Way Catalytic Converter (TWCI
\
t
The emission control system includes a Three Way
Catalytic Converter (TWC), Positive Crankcase Ventilation
(PCV) system and Evaporative Emission (EVAP) Control
system. The emission control system is designed to meet
tederal and state emission standards.
InsDeciion
!@@ Do not smoke during this procedure. Keep
any open llame away from your work area.
1. Start the engine. Hold the engine at 3,000 rpm with
no load {in Park or neutral) until the radiator fan
comes on, then let it idle.
2. Connect a tachometer.
Check and adjust the idle speed, if necessary (see
page '11-11 ! ).
Warm up and calibrate the CO meter according to the
meter manufacturer's instructions.
Check idle CO with rhe headlights, heater blower,
rear window defogger, cooling fan, and air condition-
er off.
NOTE: {Canada) Pull the parking brake lever up.
Start the engine, then check that the headlights are
olf.
CO meter should indicste 0.17o maximum.
DescriDtion
The Three Way Catalytic Converter {TWC) is used to convert hydrocarbons (HC), carbon monoxide (CO), and oxides of
nitrogen (NOx) in the exhaust gas, to carbon dioxide (COr), dinitrogen {Nr) and water vapor.

Positive Crankcase Ventilation (PCV) System
Description
The Positive Crankcase Ventilation (PCV) system is
designed to prevent blow-by gas from escaping to the
atmosphere. The PCV valve contains a spring-loaded
plunger. When the engine starts. the plunger in the PCV
valve is lifted in orooonion to intake manifold vacuum and
the blow-by gas is drawn directly into the intake manifold.

2.At idie, make sure there is a clicking sound from the
PCV valve when the hose between PCV valve and

or plters.
lf there is no clicking sound, check the PCV valve
grommet for cracks and damage. lf the grommet is
OK, reolace the PCV valve and recheck.
Gently pinch here.

NOTE: Check the transmission oil with the engine OFF
and the vehicle on level ground.
1. Remove the oil filler plug, then check the level and
condition of the oil.
