When engine is off, fuel vapors are vented into charcoal
canister. When engine is warmed to normal operating temperature and
running at speeds greater than idle, PCM energizes purge control
solenoid valve, allowing vacuum to purge valve.
Canister vapors are then drawn through solenoid valve into
intake manifold for burning. Purge control solenoid valve remains
closed during idle and engine warm-up to reduce HC (hydrocarbons) and
CO (carbon monoxide) emissions.
POSITIVE CRANKCASE VENTILATION (PCV) VALVE
PCV valve operates in closed crankcase ventilation system.
Closed crankcase ventilation system consists of PCV valve, oil
separator, breather and ventilation hoses.
PCV valve is a one-way check valve located in valve cover.
When engine is running, manifold vacuum pulls PCV valve open, allowing
crankcase fumes to enter intake manifold. If engine backfires through
intake manifold, PCV valve closes to prevent crankcase combustion.
SELF-DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM
NOTE: PCM diagnostic memory is retained by direct power supply
from battery. Memory is not erased by turning off ignition,
but it will be erased if battery or PCM is disconnected.
Self-diagnostic system monitors input and output signals
through the Data Link Connector (DLC). Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs\
)
can only be read using a scan tester. For additional information, see
G - TESTS W/CODES article.
Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL)
MIL (CHECK ENGINE light) comes on when ignition is turned on.\
MIL remains on for several seconds after engine has started. If an
abnormal input signal occurs, MIL comes on and code is stored in
memory. If an abnormal input signal returns to normal, PCM turns MIL
off, but code remains stored in memory until it is cleared. If
ignition is turned on again, MIL will not come on until PCM detects
malfunction during system operation.
