P1421





2GR-FXE ENGINE CONTROL SYSTEM: 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 Component Tests and General Diagnostics.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

Refer to the EVAP System Component Tests and General Diagnostics.

MONITOR DESCRIPTION

1. 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).

2. 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).

MONITOR RESULT

Refer to Checking Monitor Status Mode 6 Data.

CONFIRMATION DRIVING PATTERN





NOTICE:
* The Evaporative System Check (Automatic Mode) consists of 9 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, making the fuel tank leak check unavailable.
* Do not run the engine during this operation.
* 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 fuel temperature below 35°C (95°F).

1. Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.

2. Turn the ignition switch ON and turn the Techstream on.

3. Clear the DTCs (even if no DTCs are stored, perform the clear DTC procedure).

4. Turn the ignition switch off and wait for 30 seconds.

5. Turn the ignition switch ON and turn the Techstream on.

6. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Utility / Evaporative System Check / Automatic Mode [A].

7. After the Evaporative System Check is completed, check for DTCs by entering the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Trouble Codes / Pending.

8. Read the Pending DTC [B].

HINT
* If a pending DTC is output, the system is malfunctioning.
* If a pending DTC is not output, perform the following procedure.

9. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Utility / All readiness.

10. Input the DTC: P1420 or P1421.

11. Check the DTC judgment result.





HINT
* If the judgment result shows NORMAL, the system is normal.
* If the judgment result shows ABNORMAL, the system has a malfunction.
* If the judgment result shows INCOMPLETE or UNKNOWN, perform step [A] again.

12. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Utility / All Readiness.

13. Check the judgment result.

HINT
* If the judgment result shows NORMAL, the system is normal.
* If the judgment result shows ABNORMAL, the system has a malfunction.

14. If the test result is INCOMPLETE or UNKNOWN and no pending DTC is output, perform a universal trip and check for permanent DTCs Reading and Clearing Diagnostic Trouble Codes.

HINT
* If a permanent DTC is output, the system is malfunctioning.
* If no permanent DTC is output, the system is normal.
