EMISSION CONTROL (2JZ-GTE) - EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM

EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM

EC042-01

PURPOSE
The emission control systems are installed to reduce the amount of CO, HC and NOx exhausted from the
engine ((3), (4) and (5)), to prevent the atmospheric release of blow-by gas-containing HC (1) and evapo-
rated fuel containing HC being released from the fuel tank (2).
The function of each system is shown in these table.
System Abbreviation Function
(1) Positive Crankcase Ventilation PCV Reduces HC
(2) Evaporative Emission Control EVAP Reduces evaporated HC
(3) Exhaust Gas Recirculation EGR Reduces NOx
(4) Three-Way Catalytic Converter TWC Reduces CO, HC and NOx
(5) Sequential Multiport Fuel Injection * SFI Injects a precisely timed, optimum amount of fuel for reduced
exhaust emissions

Remark: * For inspection and repair of the SFI system, refer to the SFI section this manual.
