VACUUM HOSE CHECKM1173007300159
1. Using the piping diagram as a guide, check to be
sure that the vacuum hoses are correctly
connected.
2. Check the connection condition of the vacuum
hoses, (removed, loose, etc.) and check to be
sure that there are no bends or damage.
VACUUM HOSE INSTALLATIONM1173007200107
1. When connecting the vacuum hoses, they should
be securely inserted onto the nipples.
2. Connect the hoses correctly, using the vacuum
hose piping diagram as a guide.
CRANKCASE EMISSION CONTROL
SYSTEM
GENERAL INFORMATION (CRANKCASE
EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM)
M1173005000237
The crankcase emission control system prevents
blow-by gases from escaping inside the crankcase
into the atmosphere.
Fresh air is sent from the air cleaner into the
crankcase through the breather hose.
The air becomes mixed with the blow-by gases
inside the crankcase.
The blow-by gas inside the crankcase is drawn into
the intake manifold through the positive crankcase
ventilation (PCV) valve.
The PCV valve lifts the plunger according to the
intake manifold vacuum so as to regulate the flow of
blow-by gas properly.
In other words, the blow-by gas flow is regulated
during low load engine operation to maintain engine
stability, while the flow is increased during high load
operation to improve the ventilation performance.

POSITIVE CRANKCASE VENTILATION
SYSTEM CHECK
M1173001100179
1. Remove the ventilation hose from the PCV valve.
2. Remove the PCV valve from the rocker cover.
3. Reinstall the PCV valve at the ventilation hose.
4. Start the engine and run at idle.
5. Place a finger at the opening of the PCV valve
and check that vacuum of the intake manifold is
felt.
NOTE: At this moment, the plunger in the PCV
valve moves back and forth.
6. If vacuum is not felt, clean the PCV valve or
replace it.
POSITIVE CRANKCASE VENTILATION
(PCV) VALVE CHECK
M1173001200187
1. Insert a thin rod into the PCV valve from the side
shown in the illustration (rocker cover installation
side), and move the rod back and forth to check
that the plunger moves.
2. If the plunger does not move, there is a clogging
in the PCV valve. In this case, clean or replace
the PCV valve.
EVAPORATIVE EMISSION CONTROL
SYSTEM
GENERAL INFORMATION (EVAPORATIVE
EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM)
M1173005100405
The evaporative emission control system prevents
fuel vapours generated in the fuel tank from escaping
into the atmosphere.
Fuel vapours from the fuel tank flow through the fuel
tank pressure control valve and vapour pipe/hose to
be stored temporarily in the canister.
When driving the vehicle, fuel vapours stored in the
canister flow through the purge solenoid and purge
port and go into the intake manifold to be sent to the
combustion chamber.
When the engine coolant temperature is low or when
the intake air quantity is small (when the engine is at
idle, for example), the engine control unit turns the
purge solenoid off to shut off the fuel vapour flow to
the intake manifold.
This does not only insure the driveability when the
engine is cold or running under low load but also
stabilize the emission level.
