2. Fuel Returnless System
Fuel returnless system is used to reduce the evaporative emission. As shown below, by integrating the fuel
filter and pressure regulator with fuel pump assembly, the fuel return system in which the fuel returns from
the engine area is discontinued and temperature rise inside the fuel tank is prevented.
3. Fuel Injector
The 12-hole type injector is used. By modifying its
injector nozzle to a taper shape, this injector has
achieved high atomizing performance of fuel. In
addition, the injector provides good performance
with the lightweight moving parts and the
optimized magnetic circuit.

Service Tip
The canister pump module performs the EVAP leak check. This check is done approximately five
hours after the engine is turned off. So you may hear sound coming from underneath the luggage
compartment for several minutes. It does not indicate a malfunction.
The pinpoint pressure test procedure is carried out by pressurizing the fresh air line that runs from
the pump module to the air filler neck. For details, refer to the 2006 RAV4 Repair Manual (Pub.
No. RM01M1U).

10. EVAP (evaporative Emission) Control System
General
The EVAP (evaporative emission) control system prevents the vapor gas that is created in the fuel tank from
being released directly into the atmosphere.
The canister stores the vapor gas that has been created in the fuel tank.
The ECM controls the purge VSV in accordance with the driving conditions in order to direct the vapor
gas into the engine, where it is burned.
In this system, the ECM checks the evaporative emission leak and outputs DTC (Diagnostic Trouble
Code) in the event of a malfunction. An EVAP (evaporative emission) leak check consists of an
application of a vacuum pressure to the system and monitoring the changes in the system pressure in order
to detect a leakage.
This system consists of the purge VSV, canister, refueling valve, canister pump module, and ECM.
The ORVR (Onboard Refueling Vapor Recovery) function is provided in the refueling valve.
The canister pressure sensor has been included to the canister pump module.
The canister filter has been provided on the fresh air line. This canister filter is maintenance-free.
The followings are the typical conditions for enabling an EVAP leak check:
Typical Enabling
Condition
Five hours have elapsed after the engine has been turned OFF*.
Altitude: Below 2400 m (8000 feet)
Battery voltage: 10.5 V or more
Ignition switch: OFF
Engine coolant temperature: 4.4 to 35C (40 to 95F)
Intake air temperature: 4.4 to 35C (40 to 95F)
*: If engine coolant temperature does not drop below 35C (95F), this time should be extended to 7hours.
Even after that, if the temperature is not less than 35
C (95F), the time should be extended to 9.5 hours.

CanisterContains activated charcoal to absorb the vapor gas that is created in the
fuel tank.
Refueling
Controls the flow rate of the vapor gas from the fuel tank to the canister
when the system is purging or during refueling.
Refueling
Va l v eRestrictor PassagePrevents a large amount of vacuum during purge operation or system
monitoring operation from affecting the pressure in the fuel tank.
Fresh Air LineFresh air goes into the canister and the cleaned drain air goes out into
the atmosphere.

the ECM.

Canister
Pressure SensorDetects the pressure in the EVAP control system and sends the signals
to the ECM.
Purge VSV
Opens in accordance with the signals from the ECM when the system
is purging, in order to send the vapor gas that was absorbed by the
canister into the intake manifold. In system monitoring mode, this valve
controls the introduction of the vacuum into the fuel tank.
Canister FilterPrevents dust and debris in the fresh air from entering the system.
ECM
Controls the canister pump module and purge VSV in accordance with
the signals from various sensors, in order to achieve a purge volume that
suits the driving conditions. In addition, the ECM monitors the system
for any leakage and outputs a DTC if a malfunction is found.
