Abstract:
A vapor purge system for an engine, includes a purge valve having a housing including an input port in communication with a purge canister and including an output port in communication with an intake system component defining a first bore portion receiving the output port with a first seal member disposed therebetween. The intake system component includes a second bore portion receiving a housing portion of the purge valve with a second seal member disposed therebetween. The first and second seal members are spaced such that when the housing is pulled away from the intake system component and the first seal member is out of engagement between the first bore and the output port, the second seal member can remain in engagement so that a diagnostic module can diagnose detachment of the purge valve from the intake system before any hydrocarbon vapor can be released into the atmosphere.
Abstract:
A system according to the present disclosure includes a pump operating parameter module and a purge flow control module. The pump operating parameter module determines a value of an operating parameter of a purge pump that delivers purge fluid from a canister in an evaporative emissions system to an intake system of an engine. The operating parameter of the purge pump includes at least one of a speed of the purge pump, an amount of current supplied to the purge pump, and an amount of power supplied to the purge pump. The purge flow control module controls at least one of a purge valve and the purge pump to adjust an amount of purge fluid delivered to a cylinder of an engine based on the determined value of the operating parameter of the purge pump.
Abstract:
A diagnostic system for a vehicle includes a purge valve control module that closes a purge valve. The purge valve regulates fuel vapor flow from a fuel vapor canister to an intake system of an engine. A pump control module, after the closing of the purge valve, turns on a pump that pumps fuel vapor toward the purge valve. A first pressure module, after the purge valve is closed, determines a first pressure measured using a pressure sensor located between the pump and the purge valve. A second pressure module, after the determination of the first pressure and while the pump is on, determines a second pressure measured using the pressure sensor located between the pump and the purge valve. A diagnostic module selectively diagnoses detachment of the purge valve from the intake system based on the first and second pressures.
