  • PCM measures the pump load current (EVAP line pressure) when the specified period has passed after EVAP system is sealed when monitoring conditions are met. If the load does not reach the reference current value within the specified period, PCM determines that the EVAP system has small leak.

    MONITORING CONDITION 

    • IG switch OFF
    • IAT: 5-35 °C {40-95 °F} 
    • Battery voltage: 11 V or above 
    • Atmospheric pressure: 72.2 kPa {542 mmHg, 21.3 inHg} or above 
    • Fuel tank level 15-85% 

Diagnostic support note 

  • This is an intermittent monitor (Evaporative system).
  • The MIL illuminates if the PCM detects the above malfunction condition in two consecutive drive cycles or in one drive cycle while the DTC for the same malfunction has been stored in the PCM.
  • PENDING CODE is available if the PCM detects the above malfunction condition during the first drive cycle.
