ON BOARD REFUELING VAPOR RECOVERY (ORVR)


Diagnosis Procedure


SYMPTOM: FUEL ODOR FROM EVAP CANISTER IS STRONG.
1.CHECK EVAP CANISTER
1. Remove EVAP canister with EVAP canister vent control valve and EVAP control system pressure sensor attached.
2. Weigh the EVAP canister with EVAP canister vent control valve and EVAP control system pressure sensor attached.
The weight should be less than 2.0 kg (4.4 lb).
OK or NG
OK - GO TO 2.
NG - GO TO 3.
2.CHECK IF EVAP CANISTER IS SATURATED WITH WATER





Does water drain from the EVAP canister?
Yes or No
Yes - GO TO 3.
No - GO TO 6.
3.REPLACE EVAP CANISTER
Replace EVAP canister with a new one.
- GO TO 4.
4.CHECK DRAIN FILTER

OK or NG
OK - GO TO 5.
NG - Replace drain filter.
5.DETECT MALFUNCTIONING PART
Check the EVAP hose between EVAP canister and vehicle frame for clogging or poor connection.
- Repair or replace EVAP hose.
6.CHECK REFUELING EVAP VAPOR CUT VALVE
Testing and Inspection.
OK or NG
OK - INSPECTION END
NG - Replace refueling EVAP vapor cut valve with fuel tank.

SYMPTOM: CANNOT REFUEL/FUEL ODOR FROM THE FUEL FILLER OPENING IS STRONG
