EMISSION CONTROL - V8
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION 17-2-9
Emission Control Systems
Engine design has evolved in order to minimise the emission of harmful by-products. Emission control systems are
fitted to Land Rover vehicles which are designed to maintain the emission levels within the legal limits pertaining for
the specified market.
Despite the utilisation of specialised emission control equipment, it is still necessary to ensure that the engine is
correctly maintained and is in good mechanical order so that it operates at its optimal condition. In particular, ignition
timing has an effect on the production of HC and NO
x emissions, with the harmful emissions rising as the ignition
timing is advanced.
CAUTION: In many countries it is against the law for a vehicle owner or an unauthorised dealer to modify or
tamper with emission control equipment. In some cases, the vehicle owner and/or the dealer may even be
liable for prosecution.
The engine management ECM is fundamental for controlling the emission control systems. In addition to controlling
normal operation, the system complies with On Board Diagnostic (OBD) system strategies. The system monitors and
reports on faults detected with ignition, fuelling and exhaust systems which cause an excessive increase in tailpipe
emissions. This includes component failures, engine misfire, catalyst damage, catalyst efficiency, fuel evaporative
loss and exhaust leaks.
When an emission relevant fault is determined, the fault condition is stored in the ECM memory. For NAS vehicles,
the MIL warning light on the instrument pack will be illuminated when the fault is confirmed. Confirmation of a fault
condition occurs if the fault is still found to be present during the driving cycle subsequent to the one when the fault
was first detected.

+ ENGINE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM - V8, DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION, Description - engine
management.
The following types of supplementary control system are used to reduce harmful emissions released into the
atmosphere from the vehicle:
1Crankcase emission control – also known as blow-by gas emissions from the engine crankcase.
2Exhaust emission control – to limit the undesirable by-products of combustion.
3Fuel vapour evaporative loss control – to restrict the emission of fuel through evaporation from the fuel
system.
4Fuel leak detection system (NAS only) – there are two types of system which may be used to check the
evaporative emission system for the presence of leaks from the fuel tank to purge valve.
aVacuum leak detection test – checks for leaks down to 1 mm (0.04 in.) in diameter.
bPositive pressure leak detection test – utilises a leak detection pump to check for leaks down to 0.5 mm (0.02
in.) in diameter.
5Secondary air injection system (Where fitted) – to reduce emissions experienced during cold starting.

EMISSION CONTROL - V8
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION 17-2-15
Evaporative Emission Control System
The evaporation emission control (EVAP) system is used to reduce the level of hydrocarbons emitted into the
atmosphere from the fuel system. The system comprises an EVAP canister which stores the hydrocarbons from the
fuel tank, pressure valves, vent lines and a purge control solenoid valve.
Fuel vapour is stored in the canister until it is ready to be purged to the inlet manifold under the control of the Engine
Control Module (ECM).
A two-way valve is included in the vent line between the fuel tank and the EVAP canister in all markets except NAS.
A fuel vapour separator is fitted next to the fuel filler neck, the construction is different between NAS and ROW
vehicles; the liquid vapour separator (LVS) on NAS vehicles is an L-shaped metal tube and for all other markets it is
an integral part of the moulded plastic filler neck.

+ FUEL DELIVERY SYSTEM - V8, DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION, Description.
NAS vehicles have stainless steel filler necks whilst all other markets use moulded plastic filler necks. On NAS fillers,
a valve closes the roll-over valve (ROV) vent line when the fuel filler cap is removed; for all other markets a pressure
relief valve is fitted into the ROV vent line.

+ FUEL DELIVERY SYSTEM - V8, DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION, Description.
Four ROV's are fitted to the fuel tank, for NAS vehicles the valves are fitted inside the fuel tank and for ROW vehicles
the ROV's are welded external to the fuel tank. Nylon vent lines from the ROV's connect to the liquid vapour separator
allowing vapour to pass to the EVAP canister via the LVS. To prevent the canister from being overloaded (particularly
in hot ambient conditions) and to prevent wastage of fuel, the vapour is allowed to condense within the LVS and flow
back through the ROVs into the tank.

+ FUEL DELIVERY SYSTEM - V8, DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION, Description.
Pressure / vacuum relief valves are incorporated into the fuel filler cap which operate in the event of an evaporation
system failure (e.g. blockage in the evaporation system line to atmosphere). The cap relieves fuel tank pressure to
atmosphere at approximately 1.8 to 2.0 psi (12 to 14 kPa) and opens in the opposite direction at approximately – 0.7
psi (- 5kPa) vacuum. All plastic bodied fuel fillers are fitted with a tank overpressure relief valve.
A vent line flow restrictor (anti-trickle valve) is fitted to the filler pipe in the line between the tank and the canister on
NAS vehicles. The purpose of the anti-trickle valve is to preserve the vapour space in the tank 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.

+ FUEL DELIVERY SYSTEM - V8, DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION, Description.
The breather ports from the EVAP canister are located high up in the engine bay (CVS unit on NAS vehicles with
vacuum type, fuel evaporation leak detection capability; via an air filter on NAS vehicles with positive pressure type,
fuel evaporation leak detection capability; snorkel tubes on ROW vehicles), to prevent water ingress during vehicle
wading.

The ECM connectors and pins which are pertinent to evaporative emission control are listed in the following table:
Fuel Leak Detection System (vacuum type) – NAS only
The advanced evaporative loss control system equipped with a vacuum type, fuel evaporation leak detection
capability is similar to the standard evaporative loss system, but also includes additional components to enable the
engine control module (ECM) to perform a fuel evaporation leak detection test. The system includes an EVAPs
canister and purge valve, and in addition, a canister vent solenoid (CVS) valve and a fuel tank pressure sensor.
The function of the CVS valve is to block the atmospheric vent side of the EVAP canister under the control of the ECM
so that an evaporation system leak check can be performed. The test is carried out when the vehicle is stationary and
the engine is running at idle speed. The system test uses the natural rate of fuel evaporation and engine manifold
depression. Failure of the leak check will result in illumination of the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL).
The fuel evaporation leak detection is part of the On-Board Diagnostics (OBD) strategy and it is able to determine
vapour leaks from holes or breaks greater than 1 mm (0.04 in.) in diameter. Any fuel evaporation system leaks which
occur between the output of the purge valve and the connection to the inlet manifold cannot be determined using this
test, but these will be detected through the fuelling adaption diagnostics.

EMISSION CONTROL - V8
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION 17-2-17
Fuel Leak Detection System (positive pressure type) – NAS only
The evaporative loss control system equipped with a positive pressure type, fuel evaporation leak detection capability
is similar to the vacuum type, but it is capable of detecting smaller leaks by placing the evaporation system under the
influence of positive air pressure. The system includes an EVAPs canister and purge valve, and in addition, a leak
detection pump comprising a motor and solenoid valve.
The solenoid valve contained in the leak detection pump assembly performs a similar function to the CVS valve
utilised on the vacuum type pressure test. The solenoid valve is used to block the atmospheric vent side of the EVAP
canister under the control of the ECM so that an EVAP system leak check can be performed. At the same time,
pressurised air from the pump is allowed past the valve into the EVAP system to set up a positive pressure. The test
is carried out at the end of a drive cycle when the vehicle is stationary and the ignition is switched off. The test is
delayed for a brief period (approximately 10 seconds) after the engine is switched off to allow any slosh in the fuel
tank to stabilise. Component validity checks and pressure signal reference checking takes a further 10 seconds before
the pressurised air is introduced into the EVAP system.
During reference checking, the purge valve is closed and the leak detection pump solenoid valve is not energised,
while the leak detection pump is operated. The pressurised air is bypassed through a restrictor which corresponds to
a 0.5 mm (0.02 in) leak while the current consumption of the leak detection pump motor is monitored.
The system test uses the leak detection pump to force air into the EVAP system when the purge valve and solenoid
valves are both closed (solenoid valve energised), to put the evaporation lines, components and fuel tank under the
influence of positive air pressure. Air is drawn into the pump through an air filter which is located in the engine
compartment.
The fuel leak detection pump current consumption is monitored by the ECM while the EVAP system is under pressure,
and compared to the current noted during the reference check. A drop in the current drawn by the leak detection pump
motor, indicates that air is being lost through holes or leaks in the system which are greater than the reference value
of 0.5 mm (0.02 in). An increase in the current drawn by the leak detection pump motor, indicates that the EVAP
system is well sealed and that there are no leaks present which are greater than 0.5 mm (0.02 in).
The presence of leakage points indicates the likelihood of hydrocarbon emissions to atmosphere from the
evaporation system outside of test conditions and the necessity for rectification work to be conducted to seal the
system. Failure of the leak check will result in illumination of the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL).
The fuel evaporation leak detection is part of the On-Board Diagnostics (OBD) strategy and it is able to determine
vapour leaks from holes or breaks down to 0.5 mm (0.02 in.) diameter. Any fuel evaporation leaks which occur
between the output of the purge valve and the connection to the inlet manifold cannot be determined using this test,
but these will be detected through the fuelling adaption diagnostics.
Evaporative Emission Control Components
The evaporative emission control components and the fuel evaporation leak detection test components (NAS only)
are described below:

EMISSION CONTROL - V8
17-2-20 DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
For NAS vehicles with positive pressure, EVAP system leak detection capability, the atmosphere vent line from the
EVAP canister connects to a port on the fuel leak detection pump via a short, large bore hose which is secured to the
component ports by crimped metal clips at each end. A large bore plastic hose from the top of the leak detection pump
is routed to the RH side of the engine bay where it connects to an air filter canister. Under normal operating conditions
(when the fuel leak detection solenoid valve is not energised), the EVAP canister is able to take in clean air via the
air filter, through the pipework and past the open solenoid valve to allow normal purge operation to take place and
release any build up of EVAP system pressure to atmosphere.
The EVAP system pipes are clipped at various points along the pipe runs and tied together with tie straps at suitable
points along the runs.
The NAS and ROW EVAP canisters are of similar appearance, but use charcoal of different consistency. The ROW
vehicles use granular charcoal of 11 bwc (butane working capacity) and NAS vehicles use pelletised charcoal with a
higher absorption capacity of 15 bwc. All canisters are of rectangular shape and have capacities of 1.8 litres (3 1/8
imp. pts) with purge foam retention.
Purge Valve
1Direction of flow indicator
2Inlet port – from EVAP canister3Outlet port – to inlet manifold
4Integral electrical connector
The EVAP canister purge valve is located in the engine bay at the LH side of the engine intake manifold. The valve
is held in position by a plastic clip which secures the inlet pipe of the purge valve to a bracket mounted at the rear of
the engine compartment. On vehicles with secondary air injection, the purge valve is fixed to a metal bracket together
with the SAI vacuum solenoid valve; the purge valve is fixed to the bracket by two plastic clips.
A nylon pipe connects the outlet of the purge valve to the stub pipe on the plenum chamber via a short rubber hose.
The connector to the plenum chamber is a quick-release type, plastic 90° female elbow; the connection is covered by
a rubber seal which is held in position on the port stub pipe.
A service port is connected in line between the EVAP canister and the inlet side of the purge valve and is rated at 1
psi maximum regulated pressure. The service port must be mounted horizontally and is located close to the bulkhead
at the rear of the engine bay. The service point is used by dealers for pressure testing using specialist nitrogen test
equipment for localising the source of small leaks.
The purge valve has a plastic housing, and a directional arrow is moulded onto the side of the casing to indicate the
direction of flow. The head of the arrow points to the outlet side of the valve which connects to the plenum chamber.
Purge valve operation is controlled by the engine control module (ECM). The purge valve has a two-pin electrical
connector which links to the ECM via the engine harness. Pin-1 of the connector is the power supply source from fuse
2 in the engine compartment fusebox, and pin-2 of the connector is the switched earth from the ECM (pulse width
modulated (PWM) signal) which is used to control the purge valve operation time. Note that the harness connector
for the purge valve is black, and must not be confused with the connector for the Secondary Air Injection
vacuum solenoid valve which is grey.
When the purge valve is earthed by the ECM, the valve opens to allow hydrocarbons stored in the EVAP canister to
be purged to the engine inlet manifold for combustion.

EMISSION CONTROL - V8
17-2-22 DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
The valve is normally open, allowing any build up of air pressure within the evaporation system to escape, whilst
retaining the environmentally harmful hydrocarbons in the EVAP canister. When the ECM is required to run a fuel
system test, the CVS valve is closed to seal the system. The ECM is then able to measure the pressure in the fuel
evaporative system using the fuel tank pressure sensor.
The ECM performs electrical integrity checks on the CVS valve to determine wiring or power supply faults. The ECM
can also detect a valve blockage if the signal from the fuel tank pressure sensor indicates a depressurising fuel tank
while the CVS valve should be open to atmosphere.
The following failure modes are possible:
lConnector or harness wiring fault (open or short circuit)
lValve stuck open or shut
lValve blocked
If the CVS valve malfunctions, the following fault codes may be stored in the ECM diagnostic memory, which can be
retrieved using TestBook/T4:
Fuel Tank Pressure Sensor (NAS vehicles with vacuum type leak detection system only)
1Ambient pressure
2Tank pressure3Sensor cell
The fuel tank pressure sensor is located in the top flange of the fuel tank sender / fuel pump module and is a non-
serviceable item (i.e. if the sensor becomes defective, the complete fuel tank sender unit must be replaced). The fuel
tank pressure sensor connector is accessible through the fuel pump access hatch in the boot area floor of the vehicle.
The pressure sensor is a piezo-resistive sensor element with associated circuitry for signal amplification and
temperature compensation. The active surface is exposed to ambient pressure by an opening in the cap and by the
reference port. It is protected from humidity by a silicon gel. The tank pressure is fed up to a pressure port at the back
side of the diaphragm.
