VACUUM HOSE CHECK
1. Using the piping diagram as a guide, check to be sure that the vacuum hoses are correctly connected.
2. Check the connection condition of the vacuum hoses, (removed, loose, etc.) and check to be sure that there are no bends or damage.
VACUUM HOSE INSTALLATION
1. When connecting the vacuum hoses, they should be securely inserted onto the nipples.
2. Connect the hoses correctly, using the vacuum hose piping diagram as a guide.

CRANKCASE EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM

GENERAL INFORMATION
The crankcase emission control system prevents blow-by gases from escaping inside the crankcase into the atmosphere. Fresh air is sent from the air cleaner into the crankcase through the breather hose. The air becomes mixed with the blow-by gases inside the crankcase. The blow-by gas inside the crankcase is drawn into the intake manifold through the positive crankcase ventilation (PCV) valve.
SYSTEM DIAGRAM
The PCV valve lifts the plunger according to the intake manifold vacuum so as to regulate the flow of blow-by gas properly. In other words, the blow-by gas flow is regulated during low load engine operation to maintain engine stability, while the flow is increased during high load operation to improve the ventilation performance.

POSITIVE CRANKCASE VENTILATION SYSTEM CHECK
1. Remove the ventilation hose from the PCV valve.
2. Remove the PCV valve from the rocker cover.
3. Reinstall the PCV valve at the ventilation hose.
4. Start the engine and run at idle.
5. Place a finger at the opening of the PCV valve and check that vacuum of the intake manifold is felt.
NOTE
PCV valve
At this moment, the plunger in the PCV valve moves back and forth.
6. If vacuum is not felt, clean the PCV valve or replace it.

PCV VALVE CHECK
1. Insert a thin rod into the PCV valve from the side shown in the illustration (rocker cover installation side), a nd move the rod back and forth to check that the plunger moves.
2. If the plunger does not move, there is clogging in the PCV valve. In this case, clean or replace the PCV valve.

EVAPORATIVE EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM

GENERAL INFORMATION
The evaporative emission control system prevents fuel vapours generated in the fuel tank from escaping into the atmosphere. Fuel vapours from the fuel tank flow through the fuel tank pressure control valve and vapour pipe/hose to be stored temporarily in the canister. When driving the vehicle, fuel vapours stored in the canister flow through the purge solenoid and purge port and go into the intake manifold to be

sent to the combustion chamber. When the engine coolant temperature is low or when the intake air quantity is small (when the engine is at idle, for example), the engine control unit turns the purge solenoid off to shut off the fuel vapour flow to the intake manifold. This does not only insure the driveability when the engine is cold or running under low load but also stabilize the emission level.

NOTE If vacuum changes, it is possible that the throttle body purge port may be clogged and require cleaning.
PURGE CONTROL SOLENOID VALVE CHECK
NOTE When disconnecting the vacuum hose, always make a mark so that it can be reconnected at original position.
1. Disconnect the vacuum hose (black stripe, red stripe) from the solenoid valve.
2. Disconnect the harness connector.
3. Connect a hand vacuum pump to nipple (A) of the solenoid valve (refer to the illustration at left).
4. Check airtightness by applying a vacuum with voltage applied directly from the battery to the purge control solenoid valve and without applying voltage.

EXHAUST GAS RECIRCULATION (EGR) SYSTEM

GENERAL INFORMATION
The exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) system lowers the nitrogen oxide (NOx) emission level. When the air/fuel mixture combustion temperature is high, a large quantity of nitrogen oxides (NOx) is generated in the combustion chamber. Therefore, this system recirculates part of emission gas from
OPERATION
The EGR valve is being closed and dose not recirculate exhaust gases under one of the following conditions. Otherwise, the EGR valve is opened and recirculate exhaust gases.

Checking the Operation Sound
1. Check that the operation sound of the stepper motor can be heard from the EGR valve when the ignition switch is turned to ON (without starting the engine).
2. If the operation sound cannot be heard, check the stepper motor drive circuit.
NOTE If the circuit is normal, the cause is probably a malfunction of the stepper motor or of the engine-ECU.
Checking the Coil Resistance
1. Disconnect the EGR valve connector.
2. Measure the resistance between the EGR valve-side connector terminal No.2 an d terminal No.1 or terminal No.3.
Standard value: 10 - 20W(at 20_C)
3. Measure the resistance between the EGR valve-side connector terminal No.5 an d terminal No.4 or terminal No.6.
