The pressure retention valve prevents fuel
vapors from being drawn from the tank
when the solenoid valve is open and an
intake manifold vacuum is present. It
therefore ensures that the evacuation of the
EVAP canister has priority.
When no voltage is applied (e.g. wiring open
circuit), the solenoid valve is closed. The
EVAP canister will not purge.
The vacuum pipe from the throttle valve
control module to the EVAP canister has an
additional by-pass which is connected with
the crankcase breather valve. The non-
return valve integrated in the crankcase
breather valve prevents intake air entering
into the crankcase during some partial load
ranges. This improves the overall crankcase
breathing. The by-pass guarantees the
crankcase breathing.
Functional description of leak diagnosis
The EVAP system (including the fuel tank) is
equipped with a leak diagnosis system. The
leak diagnosis system detects leaks in the
breather system.
The diagnosis is based on the pressure
principle and should detect leaks with a
circumference larger than 1 mm.
