Acura RL. Manual - part 31

The malfunction detection is done during EVAP system leak detection (P0442, P0455, P0456).

The powertrain control module (PCM) monitors the fuel tank pressure (FTP) sensor output. If the FTP
sensor output does not indicate the prescribed negative pressure when purging, the PCM detects a
malfunction and a DTC is stored.

seconds.

Confirmation Procedure with the HDS

Do the EVAP FUNCTION TEST in the INSPECTION MENU with the HDS.

Driving Pattern

1. After the vehicle has been left for an appropriate amount of time as specified, with the engine coolant

temperature and intake air temperature within the specified range, start the engine.

2. Warm up the engine at idle until the radiator fan comes on.

3. Drive the vehicle at a speed between 45 - 75 mph (72 - 120 km/h) for at least 20 minutes.

4. After stopping the engine, turn the ignition switch off, and leave the vehicle for at least 32 minutes

(EONV executes).



Drive the vehicle in this manner only if the traffic regulations and ambient conditions allow.

Diagnosis Details

Conditions for illuminating the MIL

When a malfunction is detected during the first drive cycle with the ECT and IAT at engine start-up within
the specified temperature range, a Temporary DTC is stored in the PCM memory. If the malfunction recurs
during the next (second) drive cycle with the ECT and IAT at engine start-up within the specified
temperature range, the MIL comes on and the DTC and the freeze frame data are stored.

Conditions for clearing the MIL

The MIL will be cleared if the malfunction does not recur during three consecutive trips in which the
diagnostic runs.

The MIL, the DTC, the Temporary DTC, and the freeze frame data can be cleared by using the scan tool
Clear command or by disconnecting the battery.

Fig. 88: Evaporative Emission Canister Vent Shut Valve Control (Low Voltage) - Circuit Diagram

General Description

The evaporative emission (EVAP) canister vent shut valve is attached to the EVAP canister to control the
ventilation of the EVAP canister to atmosphere.

The EVAP canister vent shut valve is open (open to atmosphere) when the VSV signal is OFF.

If the return signal is "Low" when the powertrain control module (PCM) outputs the "ON" signal to the
EVAP canister vent shut valve, the PCM detects a malfunction and a DTC is stored.
