    摘要: An emissions control system is provided that comprises a fuel tank, a hydrocarbon filter element, and a three-way valve coupled between the hydrocarbon filter element and the atmosphere. The three-way valve is comprised of three ports, a purge port, a reference port, and a sealed port, and enables identification of degradation of the emissions control system. The arrangement of the ports on the valve enables a simplified testing method that reduces background errors caused by transitioning between various operating positions.

    摘要: A vehicle is provided with a fuel system, a controller, and a diagnostic module with an orifice, a pressure sensor, and a pump, the module connecting the fuel system to atmosphere. The controller measures a reference pressure across the orifice to provide a threshold, isolates the fuel system, and provides a code in response to comparing a series or measured pressures to the threshold. A method for performing an evaporative leak diagnostic is provided. A valve in a diagnostic module is commanded to a vent position. A pump is operated to measure a reference pressure across an orifice to provide a threshold. A valve is commanded to a test position. The pump is operated to place the fuel system in a low pressure state, and a series of pressures in the fuel system is measured. A diagnostic code is provided after comparing the series of pressures to the threshold.

    摘要: Methods and systems are provided for generating sufficient vacuum to enable a leak detection routine. While a fuel tank pressure is within mechanical limits, fuel vapors are purged from a canister to an engine with an isolation valve open to generate a desired level of vacuum in the fuel tank. Thereafter, the fuel tank is isolated and leak detection is performed concurrent to the purging.

    摘要: A method for testing a vapor purge system (VPS), and the vehicle having the VPS, including a controller for measuring a VPS pressure, closing a first valve coupling a VPS carbon canister and the environment, decreasing VPS pressure if it is greater than a threshold, and monitoring VPS pressure for a time period when the engine is at rest and the vehicle is operating. The pressure is decreased by opening a second valve coupling the fuel tank and the engine while the engine is running, and closing the second valve when the pressure is below the threshold. Another method for testing a VPS includes closing a first valve, closing a second valve, measuring the VPS pressure to provide a reference pressure with an associated profile, and monitoring VPS pressure compared to the profile for a time period.
