FUNCTION OF MAIN COMPONETS
The main components of the evaporative emission control system are as follows:
| Component | Function |
|---|---|
| ECM | Sends signals to the purge VSV to control the purge flow. |
| Charcoal Canister | Contains activated charcoal to absorb the fuel vapor that is created in the fuel tank assembly. |
| Purge VSV | Opens in accordance with the signals from the ECM when the system is purging, in order to send the fuel vapor that was absorbed by the charcoal canister into the intake manifold. |
SYSTEM CONTROL
Based on the signals from various sensors, the ECM opens and closes the purge VSV. Thus, the ECM controls the purge flow of evaporative emissions (HC) in the charcoal canister sub-assembly in accordance with the engine conditions.
FUNCTION
The charcoal canister stores the fuel vapors that have been created in the fuel tank assembly.
The ECM controls the purge VSV in accordance with the driving conditions in order to direct the fuel vapors into the engine, where they are burned.
