Construction and Operation
1) Refueling Valve
The refueling valve consists of the chamber A, chamber B, and restrictor passage. A constant
atmospheric pressure is applied to the chamber A.
During refueling, the internal pressure of the fuel tank increases. This pressure causes the refueling
valve to lift up, allowing the vapor gas to enter the canister.
The restrictor passage prevents the large amount of vacuum that is created during purge operation or
system monitoring operation from entering the fuel tank, and limits the flow of the vapor gas from the
fuel tank to the canister. If a large volume of vapor gas recirculates into the intake manifold, it will
affect the air-fuel ratio control of the engine. Therefore, the role of the restrictor passage is to help
prevent this from occurring.
2) Fuel Inlet (Fresh Air Line)
In accordance with the change of structure of the EVAP control system, the location of a fresh air line
inlet has been changed from the air cleaner section to the near fuel inlet. The flesh air from the atmosphere
and drain air cleaned by the canister will go in and out of the system through the passage shown below.

11. Charging Control
General
This system lowers the generated voltage when the vehicle is idling or is being driven at a constant speed,
and raises the generated voltage when the vehicle is decelerating. This reduces the load on the engine as
a result of the electric generation of the generator, thus contributing to the fuel economy of the engine.
During acceleration, this system regulates the generated voltage in order to place the amperage estimation
value close to the target value.
This control consists of the ECM, battery current sensor with a built-in battery temperature sensor,
generator, and various sensors and switches.
The ECM detects driving condition based on signals from various sensors and switches, and detects
charging condition based on signals from the generator, battery current sensor and battery temperature
sensor. Then the ECM outputs signals to the IC regulator to control the genetated voltage of the generator.
The ECM stops the charging control and the generator switches to normal power generation mode under
the following conditions:
Low battery capacity
Low or high battery temparature
Wipers operating or blower motor operating with tail lamp relay ON

ON-VEHICLE INSPECTION
1. CHECK FUEL CUT RPM
(a) Increase the engine speed to at least 3,500 rpm.
(b) Use a sound scope to check for injector operating
noise.
(c) Check that the operating sounds stop momentarily
and then resume when the throttle lever is released.
HINT:
Measure with the A/C OFF.
Fuel return rpm:
1,400 rpm
2. CHECK FOR LEAKS
(a) Visually check that the hoses, connections and
gaskets have no cracks, leaks or damage.
NOTICE:
• Detachment or other problems with the
engine oil dipstick, filler cap, PCV hose and
other components may cause the engine to
run improperly.
• Disconnection, looseness or cracks in the
parts of the air induction system between the
throttle body and cylinder head will allow air
suction and cause an engine failure or engine
malfunctions.
If the result is not as specified, replace parts as
necessary.
3. CHECK LINE AND CONNECTORS
(a) Visually check for loose connections, sharp bends
or damage.
4. CHECK FUEL TANK ASSEMBLY
(a) Visually check for deformation, cracks or fuel
leakage.
5. CHECK FUEL TANK AND VENT LINE
(a) Disconnect the vent line tube from the canister.
(b) Connect a pressure gauge to the vent line tube.

(c) Apply 4 kPa (41 kgf/cm2, 30 mmHg) of pressure to
the vent line of the fuel tank.
HINT:
Perform this inspection with the fuel tank less than
90% full. When the fuel tank is full, the fuel cutoff
valve closes and pressure is released through the
1.5 mm orifice. As a result, when the fuel tank cap is
removed, the pressure does not decrease smoothly.
(d) Check that the fuel tank pressure is maintained for
some time, and does not decrease immediately.
HINT:
If the pressure decreases immediately, one of the
following may be the cause:
• The fuel tank cap is not completely tightened.
• The fuel tank cap is damaged.
• Air is leaking from the vent line.
• The fuel tank is damaged.
(e) When the fuel tank cap is removed, check that
pressure is released smoothly.
HINT:
If the pressure does not drop, replace the fuel tank
assembly.
(f) Reconnect the vent line tube to the canister.
6. CHECK AIR INLET LINE
(a) Disconnect the air inlet line hose from the charcoal
canister.
(b) Check that air flows freely into the air inlet line.
HINT:
If air does not flow freely into the air inlet line, repair
or replace it.
(c) Reconnect the air inlet line hose to the charcoal
canister.
