Emission Control System
System Description
The emission control system includes, a Three Way
Catalytic Converter {TWC), Positive Crankcase Ventilation
(PCV) svstem and Evaporative Emission (€VAP) Control
system. The emission control system is designed to meet
federal and state emission standards.

DescriDtion
This system evaluates the catalysts capacity by means of the HO2S (Primary and Secondary) output during stable driving
conditions. lf deterioration has been detected during three consecutive driving cycles, the MIL comes on and DTC P0420 will
be stored.

Positive Grankcase Ventilation (PGVI System
Description
The Positive Crankcase Ventilation (PCV) svstem is
designed to prevent blow-by gas from escaping to the
atmosphere. The PCV valve contains a spring-loaded
plunger, When the engine starts, the plunger in the PCV
valve is lifted in proportion to intake manitold vacuum and
the blow-by gas is drawn directly into the intake manifold.

2. At idle, make sure there is a clicking sound from the
PCV valve when the hose between the PCV valve
and intake manifold is lightly pinched with your fin-

Evaporative Emission (EVAP) Controls
Description:
The evaporative emission controls are designed to minimize the amount of fuel vapor escaping to the atmosphere. The
system consists of the following components:
A. Evaporative Emission (EVAPI Control Canister
