2GR-FXE ENGINE CONTROL: SFI SYSTEM: P1420,P1421: Evaporative Emission Canister Small Leak
P1421 - Evaporative Emission Canister Gross Leak

DTC SUMMARY





DESCRIPTION

The description can be found in the EVAP (evaporative emission) System EVAP System.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

Refer to the EVAP System EVAP System.

MONITOR DESCRIPTION

- P1420: EVAP (evaporative emission) small leak

- In operation C, the leak detection pump creates negative pressure (vacuum) in the EVAP system and the EVAP system pressure is measured. If the stabilized system pressure is higher than the second reference pressure, the ECM determines that the EVAP system has a small leakage, illuminates the MIL and sets the DTC (2 trip detection logic).

- P1421: EVAP gross leak

- In operation C, the leak detection pump creates negative pressure (vacuum) in the EVAP system and the EVAP system pressure is measured. If the stabilized system pressure is higher than [second reference pressure x 0.2] (near atmospheric pressure), the ECM determines that the EVAP system has a large leakage, illuminates the MIL and sets the DTC (2 trip detection logic).
