DTC P2419 - Evaporative Emission System Switching Valve Control Circuit Low
DTC P2420 - Evaporative Emission System Switching Valve Control Circuit High
DTC SUMMARY
HINT: The vent valve is built into the canister pump module.
DESCRIPTION
NOTE: The canister is located near the fuel tank, underneath the body.
NOTE: In this vehicle's EVAP system, turning ON the vent valve does not seal off the EVAP system. To check for leaks in the EVAP system, disconnect the air inlet vent hose and apply pressure from the atmosphere side of the canister.
While the engine is running, if a predetermined condition (closed-loop etc.) is met, the purge VSV is opened by the ECM and stored fuel vapors in the canister are purged to the intake manifold. The ECM changes the duty cycle ratio of the purge VSV to control purge flow volume.
The purge flow volume is also determined by the intake manifold pressure. Atmospheric pressure is allowed into the canister through the vent valve to ensure that the purge flow is maintained when the negative pressure (vacuum) is applied to the canister.
The following two monitors run to confirm appropriate EVAP system operation.
1. Key-off monitor
This monitor checks for EVAP (Evaporative Emission) system leaks and canister pump module malfunctions. The monitor starts 5 hours* after the ignition switch is turned OFF. More than 5 hours are required to allow enough time for the fuel to cool down to stabilize the fuel tank pressure, thus making the EVAP system monitor more accurate.
The electric leak detection pump creates negative pressure (vacuum) in the EVAP system and the pressure is measured. Finally, the ECM monitors for leaks from the EVAP system, and malfunctions in both the canister pump module and purge VSV, based on the EVAP pressure.
HINT: *: If the engine coolant temperature is not below 35°C (95°F) 5 hours after the ignition switch is turned off, the monitor check starts 2 hours later. If it is still not below 35°C (95°F) 7 hours after the ignition switch is turned off, the monitor check starts 2.5 hours later.
2. Purge flow monitor
The purge flow monitor consists of the two monitors. The 1st monitor is always conducted every time and the 2nd monitor is activated if necessary.
- The 1st monitor
While the engine is running and the purge VSV (Vacuum Switching Valve) is ON (open), the ECM monitors the purge flow by measuring the EVAP pressure change. If negative pressure is not created, the ECM begins the 2nd monitor.
- The 2nd monitor
The vent valve is turned OFF (open) and the EVAP pressure is then measured. If the variation in the pressure is less than 0.5 kPa (3.75 mmHg), the ECM interprets this as the purge VSV being stuck closed, and illuminates the MIL and sets DTC.
Atmospheric pressure check:
In order to ensure reliable malfunction detection, the variation between the atmospheric pressures, before and after conduction of the purge flow monitor, is measured by the ECM.
INSPECTION PROCEDURE
NOTE: The Techstream is required to conduct the following diagnostic troubleshooting procedure.
HINT:
- Using the Techstream monitor results enables the EVAP (Evaporative Emission) system to be confirmed.
- Read freeze frame data using the Techstream. Freeze frame data record the engine condition when malfunctions are detected. When troubleshooting, freeze frame data can help determine if the vehicle was moving or stationary, if the engine was warmed up or not, if the air-fuel ratio was lean or rich, and other data, from the time the malfunction occurred.
PROCEDURE
1. CONFIRM DTC
(a) Turn the ignition switch OFF and wait for 10 seconds.
(b) Turn the ignition switch ON.
(c) Turn the ignition switch OFF and wait for 10 seconds.
(d) Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
(e) Turn the ignition switch ON and turn the tester ON.
(f) Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Trouble Codes.
(g) Confirm DTCs and freeze frame data.
If any EVAP system DTCs are set, the malfunctioning area can be determined using the table below.
NOTE: If the 0.02 inch leak criterion difference between the first and second checks is greater than the specification, the DTCs corresponding to the leak criterion (P043E, P043F, P2401, P2402 and P2419) will be all stored.
NEXT -- Continue to next step.
2. PERFORM EVAPORATIVE SYSTEM CHECK (AUTOMATIC MODE)
NOTICE:
- The Evaporative System Check (Automatic Mode) consists of five steps performed automatically by the Techstream. It takes a maximum of approximately 18 minutes.
- Do not perform the Evaporative System Check when the fuel tank is more than 90% full because the cut-off valve may be closed and making the leak check of the fuel tank unavailable.
- Do not run the engine in this step.
- When the temperature of the fuel is 35°C(95°F) or more, a large amount of vapor forms and any check results become inaccurate. When performing the Evaporative System Check, keep the temperature below 35°C (95°F).
(a) Clear DTCs (DTC Check / Clear).
(b) Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Utility / Evaporative System Check / Automatic Mode.
(c) After the Evaporative System Check is completed, check for pending DTCs by entering the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Trouble Codes.
HINT: If no pending DTC is displayed, perform the Monitor Confirmation (see "Diagnostic Help" menu). After this confirmation, check for pending DTCs. If no DTC is displayed, the EVAP system is normal.
NEXT -- Continue to next step.
3. PERFORM EVAPORATIVE SYSTEM CHECK (MANUAL MODE)
NOTICE:
- In the Evaporative System Check (Manual Mode), the series of 5 Evaporative System Check steps are performed manually by the Techstream.
- Do not perform the Evaporative System Check when the fuel tank is more than 90% full because the cut-off valve may be closed and making the leak check of the fuel tank unavailable.
- Do not run the engine in this step.
- When the temperature of the fuel is 35°C(95°F) or more, a large amount of vapor forms and any check results become inaccurate. When performing the Evaporative System Check, keep the temperature below 35°C (95°F).
(a) Clear DTCs (DTC Check / Clear).
(b) Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Utility / Evaporative System Check / Manual Mode.
NEXT -- Continue to next step.
4. PERFORM EVAPORATIVE SYSTEM CHECK (STEP 1/5)
(a) Check the EVAP pressure in step 1/5.
Result:
*: These DTCs are already present in the ECM when the vehicle arrives and are confirmed in step 1.
B -- REPLACE CANISTER ASSEMBLY
A -- Continue to next step.
5. PERFORM EVAPORATIVE SYSTEM CHECK (STEP 1/5 TO 2/5)
(a) Check the EVAP pressure in steps 1/5 and 2/5.
Result:
*: These DTCs are already present in the ECM when the vehicle arrives and are confirmed in step 1.
HINT: The first 0.02 inch leak criterion is the value determined in step 2/5.
B -- PERFORM ACTIVE TEST USING TECHSTREAM (FOR CANISTER PUMP MODULE (LEAK DETECTION PUMP))
A -- Continue to next step.
6. PERFORM EVAPORATIVE SYSTEM CHECK (STEP 2/5)
HINT: Make a note of the pressures checked in steps (a) and (b) below.
(a) Check the EVAP pressure 4 seconds after the leak detection pump is activated*.
(b) Check the EVAP pressure again when it has stabilized. This pressure is the 0.02 inch leak criterion.
*: The leak detection pump begins to operate as step 1/5 is proceeded to step 2/5.
Result:
*: These DTCs are already present in the ECM when the vehicle arrives and are confirmed in step 1.
D -- PERFORM ACTIVE TEST USING TECHSTREAM (FOR VENT VALVE)
C -- REPLACE CANISTER ASSEMBLY
B -- PERFORM EVAPORATIVE SYSTEM CHECK (STEP 3/5)
A -- Continue to next step.
