The system was introduced on all North American
specification vehicles from October 1996 and the
vehicles can be recognised by the information
contained in theEVAP. FAMILYentry on the

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION ADD: 09/95 System operation
The system is designed to prevent fuel vapour
escaping to atmosphere, and consists of four roll-over
valves fitted internally in the fuel tank, connected to
the liquid/vapour separator by a nylon line. The
separator is mounted to the side of the filler neck. An
EVAP canister is positioned in the engine
compartment mounted on the right front side valance.
The liquid/vapour separator and EVAP canister are
connected by a nylon line which runs the length of the
chassis.
Pressure/vacuum relief valves are incorporated into
the fuel filler cap and are designed to protect the fuel
tank from permanent deformation in the event of
system pressure or vacuum exceeding the system
operating parameters. There are no other relief or
one-way valves in the system.
A vent line flow restrictor known as an anti-trickle fill
valve is fitted to the filler pipe in the line between the
tank and EVAP canister. The function of this valve is
to prevent overfilling the tank by trickling fuel in,
thereby preserving the vapour space in the tank to
allow for fuel expansion during hot weather.
The valve achieves this by blocking the vent line
during the fuel filling process. The valve is operated
by the action of inserting the filler gun so that when
the fuel in the tank reaches the level of the filling
breather, flow cut off occurs due to fuel filling the filler
pipe.During normal vehicle operation and when the engine
is switched off, the venting system between the fuel
tank and EVAP canister is open to allow the free
passage of vapour.
The EVAP canister, which is connected by a nylon
hose to the plenum chamber, absorbs and stores the
fuel vapour from the fuel tank when the engine is not
running. With the engine running, vapour is purged
from the EVAP canister by allowing outside air to be
drawn through the EVAP canister vent solenoid and
link pipe by the influence of manifold vacuum to the
EVAP canister purge connection on the canister.
Filter pads are fitted above and below the charcoal
and in the EVAP canister vent solenoid to prevent the
ingress of foreign matter into the purge line.
The EVAP canister purge valve, which is fitted in the
line from the EVAP canister to the plenum, is
controlled by the ECM which determines the most
emission acceptable time at which purging should
take place. This will normally be at engine speeds
above idle and when the vehicle is in motion.
The EVAP canister vent solenoid is mounted on the
side of the EVAP canister bracket and is connected to
the EVAP canister by a length of large bore hose. The
ECVS is controlled by the ECM and is normally open.
The function of the ECVS is to block the air intake
side of the EVAP canister. When the system receives
an ECM signal the valve closes; this allows the
system leak check to take place. The leak check only
occurs when pre-determined vehicle operating
conditions are met.

FAULT DIAGNOSIS REV: 09/95 TESTING EVAPORATIVE EMISSION CONTROL -
PRE ADVANCED EVAPS
The following pressure test procedure is intended to
provide a method for ensuring that the system does
not leak excessively and will effectively control
evaporative emissions.
Equipment required.
Nitrogen cylinder (compressed air may be used to
pressure the system when there has NEVER been
fuel present in the fuel or evaporative control
systems).
Water manometer (0 - 30" H2O or more).
Pipework and a "T" piece.
Method.
1.Ensure that there is at least two gallons of fuel in
the petrol tank unless there has never been any
fuel in the system.
2.Disconnect, at the adsorption canister, the pipe
to the vapour separator.
3.Connect this pipe to the nitrogen cylinder and
the water manometer using the "T" piece.
4.Pressurize the system to between 26.5 and 27.5
inches of water, allow the reading to stabilize,
then turn off the nitrogen supply.
5.Measure the pressure drop within a period of 2
minutes 30 seconds. If the drop is greater than
2.5 inches of water the system has failed the
test. Note that a fully sealed system will show a
slight increase in pressure.
6.Should the system fail the test, maintain the
pressure in the system and apply a soap
solution round all the joints and connections until
bubbles appear to reveal the source of the leak.
7.Repeat the test and if successful, dismantle the
test equipment and reconnect the pipe to the
adsorption canister.LEAK DETECTION PROCEDURE - ADVANCED
EVAPS
1.Connect TestBook to the vehicle and confirm
that the fault code(s) displayed relate to an
EVAP system fault.
2.Examine components in fuel and EVAP system
for damage or poorly connected joints.
3.Repair or replace components to rectify any
faults found, then reset the Check Engine light
using TestBook.
4.Carry out Drive Cycle,
See Drive Cycle -
Advanced EVAPS
5.Using TestBook confirm that the Evaporative
Loss Control (ELC) Inspection and Maintenance
(IM) flag has cleared. This procedure should
confirm that the ELC test was carried out during
the drive cycle and that the fault was cured.
6.If the IM flag is still shown, use TestBook to
interrogate the engine management system to
ascertain which of the following situations exists:
·If a fault code is shown then further investigation
is required, proceed to the next step.
·If the IM flag is still shown, but no faults are
indicated the conditions for the ELC check have
not been met and the drive cycle must be
repeated.
7.Connect the Leak Detection/EVAP Diagnostic
Station to the vehicle and carry out the
procedures given in the operating instructions
supplied with the equipment.
8.Rectify faults indicated by the Leak
Detection/EVAP Diagnostic Station and return to
step 4.

1.Switch on ignition for 30 seconds.
2.Ensure that coolant temperature is less than 140
°F (30°C).
3.Start engine and allow to idle for 2 minutes.
4.Perform 2 light accelerations (0 to 35 mph with
light pedal pressure).
5.Perform 2 medium accelerations (0 to 45 mph
with moderate pedal pressure).
6.Perform 2 hard accelerations (0 to 55 mph with
heavy pedal pressure).
7.Cruise at 60 mph for 5 minutes.
8.Cruise at 50 mph for 5 minutes.
9.Cruise at 35 mph for 5 minutes.
10.Allow engine to idle for 2 minutes.
11.Connect TestBook and check for fault codes.
