Mode E (Measurement of reference pressure for judgment)

  1. Purpose: Judge the reference pressure stability.

    Judge as NG when the following conditions are established.

    JUDGMENT VALUE

    Malfunction Criteria Threshold Value DTC
    |Pressure sensor maximum output value - Pressure sensor minimum output value| > 0.3 kPa (2.355 mmHg, 0.1 inHg) P2404
  2. Purpose: Judge whether the reference pressure is within the normal range, and detect the vacuum pump and orifice malfunctions. Judge the vacuum pump performance stability.

    Judge as NG when the following conditions are established.

    JUDGMENT VALUE

    Malfunction Criteria Threshold Value DTC
    Reference pressure for judgment < Value of Map 5
    or
    > Value of Map 6
    P2404
    MAP 5

    Atmospheric pressure kPa (mmHg, inHg) 70 (525, 20.7) 80 (600, 23.6) 90 (675, 26.6) 100 (750, 29.5)
    Reference pressure for judgment kPa (mmHg, inHg) -4.5 (-34.02, -1.3) -4.6 (-34.815, -1.4) -4.7 (-35.618, -1.4) -4.9 (-36.42, -1.4)
    MAP 6

    Atmospheric pressure kPa (mmHg, inHg) 70 (525, 20.7) 80 (600, 23.6) 90 (675, 26.6) 100 (750, 29.5)
    Reference pressure for judgment kPa (mmHg, inHg) -0.8 (-6.18, -0.2) -0.9 (-6.983, -0.3) -1 (-7.785, -0.3) -1.1 (-8.58, -0.3)
  3. Purpose: Judge the presence of evaporative emission system leak.

    Judge as NG when the following conditions are established.

    JUDGMENT VALUE

    Malfunction Criteria Threshold Value DTC
    < Large leak (0.04 inch) >   P0455
    Leak pressure ≥ lleakjdg (Pa)  
    lleakjdg = (Reference pressure for judgment) x 0.377 - (-45.5 Pa)    
    < Very small leak (0.02 inch) >   P0456
    Leak pressure < lleakjdg (Pa)  

Time Needed for Diagnosis:  Approx. 23 min

At next engine start, confirm whether the enable conditions are satisfied even though refueling has been done during soaking, and determine the malfunction.

Malfunction Indicator Light Illumination:  Illuminates when malfunction occurs in 2 continuous driving cycles.

At next engine start, confirm whether the enable conditions are satisfied even though refueling has been done during soaking, then, if the following conditions are established, judge as OK and clear the NG.
