ON BOARD REFUELING VAPOR RECOVERY (ORVR)

Without CONSULT-III

1. Remove fuel tank. Refer to 

FL-11, "Removal and Installation"

.

2. Drain fuel from the tank as follows:

-

Remove fuel gauge retainer.

-

Drain fuel from the tank using a handy pump into a fuel container.

3. Check refueling EVAP vapor cut valve for being stuck to close as follows.

Blow air into the refueling EVAP vapor cut valve (from the end of EVAP/ORVR line hose), and check that

the air flows freely into the tank.

4. Check refueling EVAP vapor cut valve for being stuck to open as follows.

-

Connect vacuum pump to hose end.

-

Remove fuel gauge retainer with fuel gauge unit.

Always replace O-ring with new one.

-

Put fuel tank upside down.

-

Apply vacuum pressure to hose end [

−13.3 kPa (−0.136 kg/cm

3

, 

−1.93 psi)] with fuel gauge retainer

remaining open and check that the pressure is applicable.

Is the inspection result normal?

YES

>> INSPECTION END

NO

>> Replace refueling EVAP vapor cut valve with fuel tank.

POSITIVE CRANKCASE VENTILATION

Description

INFOID:0000000004211653

This system returns blow-by gas to the intake manifold.

The positive crankcase ventilation (PCV) valve is provided to conduct crankcase blow-by gas to the intake

manifold.

During partial throttle operation of the engine, the intake manifold sucks the blow-by gas through the PCV

valve.

Normally, the capacity of the valve is sufficient to handle any blow-by and a small amount of ventilating air.

The ventilating air is drawn from the air inlet tubes into the crankcase. In this process the air passes through

the hose connecting air inlet tubes to rocker cover.

Under full-throttle condition, the manifold vacuum is insufficient to draw the blow-by flow through the valve.

The flow goes through the hose connection in the reverse direction.

On vehicles with an excessively high blow-by, the valve does not

meet the requirement. This is because some of the flow will go

through the hose connection to the air inlet tubes under all condi-

tions.

Component Inspection

INFOID:0000000004211654

1.

CHECK PCV VALVE

With engine running at idle, remove PCV valve from rocker cover. A

properly working valve makes a hissing noise as air passes through

it. A strong vacuum should be felt immediately when a finger is

placed over valve inlet.
Is the inspection result normal?

YES

>> INSPECTION END

NO

>> Replace PCV valve.

REFRIGERANT PRESSURE SENSOR

REFRIGERANT PRESSURE SENSOR

Description

INFOID:0000000004211655

The refrigerant pressure sensor is installed at the condenser of the air conditioner system. The sensor uses an

electrostatic volume pressure transducer to convert refrigerant pressure to voltage. The voltage signal is sent

to ECM, and ECM controls cooling fan system.

Component Function Check

INFOID:0000000004211656

1.

CHECK REFRIGERANT PRESSURE SENSOR OVERALL FUNCTION

1. Activate “INSPECTION MODE 1” (

HBC-104

) to start engine, and warm up engine to normal operating

temperature.

2. Turn A/C switch and blower fan switch ON.

3. Check the voltage between ECM harness connector and

ground.

Is the inspection result normal?

YES

>> INSPECTION END

NO

>> Go to 

EC-402, "Diagnosis Procedure"

.

Diagnosis Procedure

INFOID:0000000004211657

1.

CHECK GROUND CONNECTION

1. Turn A/C switch and blower fan switch OFF.

2. Turn ignition switch OFF.

3. Check ground connection E9. Refer to Ground Inspection in 

GI-45, "Circuit Inspection"

. 

Is the inspection result normal?

YES

>> GO TO 2.

NO

>> Repair or replace ground connection.

2.

CHECK REFRIGERANT PRESSURE SENSOR POWER SUPPLY CIRCUIT

1. Disconnect refrigerant pressure sensor harness connector.

2. Turn ignition switch ON.
