Emission Control Systems: Testing and Inspection





3UR-FE EMISSION CONTROL: EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM: ON-VEHICLE INSPECTION

1. CHECK PURGE VSV

(a) Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.

(b) Remove the V-bank cover Removal.





(c) Disconnect the hose (connected to the canister) from the purge VSV.

(d) Start the engine and turn the Techstream main switch on.

(e) Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Active Test / Activate the VSV for Evap Control.

OK:





(f) Connect the hose (connected to the canister) to the purge VSV.

(g) Install the V-bank cover Installation.

2. INSPECT FUEL CUT-OFF RPM

(a) Start and warm up the engine.

(b) Open the throttle valve and keep the engine speed at 3000 rpm.

(c) Use a sound scope to check for injector operating noise.

(d) Check that when the accelerator pedal is released, the injector operation noise stops momentarily and then resumes.

If the result is as not specified, check the injector, wiring and ECM.

3. VISUALLY INSPECT HOSES, CONNECTIONS AND GASKETS

(a) Check that there are no cracks, leaks or damage.





HINT
Separation of the engine oil dipstick, oil filler cap, ventilation hose, etc. may cause an engine failure or engine malfunctions. 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.

NOTICE:
* Detachment or other problems with the engine oil dipstick, filler cap, ventilation 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.
(a) If the result is not as specified, replace parts as necessary.

4. INSPECT FUEL CUT-OFF VALVE AND FILL CHECK VALVE





(a) Disconnect the vent line hose from the canister.

(b) Connect the pressure gauge to the vent line hose.

(c) Fill the fuel tank with fuel.

(d) Apply a pressure of 4 kPa (41 gf/cm2, 0.6 psi) to the vent line hose.

HINT
If the fuel tank is full, as the float valve of the fill check valve is closed and has no ventilation, it is necessary to check the fuel amount (volume).

(e) Remove the fuel tank cap, and check that the pressure inside the tank drops.

If pressure does not drop, replace the fuel tank assembly.

(f) Reconnect the vent line hose to the canister.

5. CHECK AIR INLET LINE

(a) Disconnect the air inlet line hose from the charcoal canister.





(b) Check that there is ventilation in the air inlet line.

HINT
If air cannot flow freely into the air inlet line, repair or replace it.

(c) Reconnect the air inlet line hose to the charcoal canister.

6. INSPECT PRESSURE SENSOR





(a) Connect a pressure gauge to the air pressure sensor as shown in the illustration.

(b) Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.

(c) Turn the engine switch on (IG) and turn the Techstream main switch on.

(d) Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Data List / All Data / Air pump pressure (absolute).

(e) Check that the pressure displayed on the Techstream fluctuates when applying pressure to the pressure sensor with the pressure gauge.

NOTICE:
Do not let foreign matter enter the sensor when applying pressure.

OK:

Pressure fluctuates in response to pressure applied with pressure gauge.





(f) Check the power source voltage.

(1) Disconnect the connector.

(2) Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.

Standard Voltage:





(2) If the result is not as specified, check the wiring and ECM P2431.
