EMISSION CONTROL (5VZ-FE) - EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM

EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM

EC00J-02

PURPOSE
The emission control systems are installed to reduce the amount of CO, HC and NOx exhausted from the
engine (3 and 4), to prevent the atmospheric release of blow-by gas-containing HC (1) and evaporated fuel
containing HC being released from the fuel tank (2).
The function of each system is shown in these table.
System Abbreviation Function
4. Positive Crankcase Ventilation PCV Reduces crankcase blow-by gas (HC)
5. Evaporative Emission Control EVAP Reduces evaporated HC
6. Three-W ay Catalytic Converter TWC Reduces CO, HC and NOx
7. 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 SF section of this manual.

INSPECTION
1. INSPECT PCV VALVE
(a) Remove the PCV valve.

S02094
(b) Install a clean hose to the PCV valve.

(c) Inspect the PCV valve operation.

Cylinder Head Cover Side
(1) Blow air into the cylinder head cover side, and
check that air passes through easily.
CAUTION:
Clean Hose Do not suck air through the valve. Petroleum substances
inside the valve are harmful.

P21213

(3) Blow air into the air intake chamber side when lift
Air Intake up the inside valve, and check that there is a strong
Chamber Side resistance to air flow.
If operation is not as specified, replace the PCV valve.
(d) Remove the clean hose from the PCV valve.
(e) Reinstall the PCV valve.

INSPECTION
1. VISUALLY INSPECT LINES AND CONNECTORS
Look for loose connections, sharp bends or damage.
2. VISUALLY INSPECT FUEL TANK FILLER PIPE
Look for deformation, cracks or fuel leakage.

3. VISUALLY INSPECT FUEL TANK CAP

Check if the cap and/or gasket are deformed or damaged.
If necessary, repair or replace the cap.

Gauge (a) Warm up the engine and stop the engine.
Allow the engine to warm up to normal operating tempera-
ture.
(b) Install a EVAP control system test equipment vacuum
gauge to the EVAP service port on the purge line.

(1) Connect a TOYOTA hand-held tester to the DLC3.
(2) Start the engine.
(3) Push the TOYOTA hand-held tester main switch
ON.
(4) Use the ACTIVE TEST mode on the TOYOTA

(e) Check the vacuum at idle.

Vacuum:
Maintain at 0.368 - 19.713 in.Hg (5 - 268 in.Aq) for over
5 seconds
HINT:
If the vacuum does not change, you can conclude that the hose
connecting the VSV to the service port has come loose or is
blocked, or the VSV is malfunctioning.
B06545 (f) TOYOTA Hand-Held Tester:
Conclude forced driving of the VSV for EVAP.
(1) Stop the engine.
(2) Disconnect the TOYOTA hand-held tester from the
DLC3.
(g) If you have no TOYOTA Hand-Held Tester:
Conclude forced driving of the VSV for EVAP.
(1) Stop the engine.
(2) Disconnect the positive (+) and negative (-) leads
from the battery from the VSV terminals the EVAP.
(3) Connect the VSV connector for the EVAP.
(h) Disconnect the vacuum gauge.
(i) Connect the pressure gauge.

(j) Inspect for the pressure.

Hose Clipper
(1) Close off the air drain hose of the canister with a
hose clipper or similar instrument.

Hose

B13453

(2) Add the pressure (13.5 -15.5 in.Aq) from the EVAP
Pressure
Gauge service port.
Pressure:
2 minutes after the pressure is added, the gauge
should be over 7.7 - 8.8 in.Aq.
HINT:
If you can’t add pressure, you can conclude that the hose con-
Pressure necting the VSV - canister - fuel tank has slipped off or the VSV
B06546 is open.

(3) Check if the pressure decreases when the fuel tank

Fuel Tank Cap
cap is removed while adding pressure.
HINT:
If the pressure does not decrease when the filler cap is re-
moved, then you can conclude that the hose connecting the
service port to the fuel tank is blocked, etc.
(k) Disconnect the pressure gauge.

EVAP Line Hose 5. CHECK AIRTIGHTNESS IN FUEL TANK AND FILLER

PIPE
(a) Disconnect the EVAP line hose from the charcoal canister
side and then pressurize and make the internal pressure
Air in the fuel tank 4 kPa (41 gf/cm2, 0.58 psi).
(b) Check that the internal pressure of the fuel tank can be
hold for 1 minute.
(c) Check the connected portions of each hose and pipe.
B13454 (d) Check the installed parts on the fuel tank.
If there is no abnormality, replace the fuel tank and filler pipe.
(e) Reconnect the EVAP line hose to the charcoal canister.

EVAP Line Hose 6. INSPECT FUEL CUTOFF VALVE AND FILL CHECK
VALVE
(a) Disconnect the purge line hose and EVAP line hose from
the charcoal canister.
Cap (b) Plug the cap to the air drain hose.
(c) Pressurize 4 kPa (41 gf/cm2, 0.58 psi) to the purge port
and check that there is ventilation through the EVAP line
Purge Port
Air hose.
B13455 HINT:
In the condition that the fuel is full, as the float value of the fill
check valve is closed and has no ventilation, it is necessary to
check the fuel amount (volume).
(d) Check if there is any struck in the vent line hose and EVAP
line hose.
If there is no stuck in hoses, replace the fuel cutoff valve and fill
check valve.
(e) Reconnect the purge line hose and EVAP line hose to the
charcoal canister.
