摘要： An abnormality detecting device for an evaporative fuel processing system is disclosed. The evaporative fuel processing system includes a fuel tank, a canister for trapping evaporative fuel generated in the fuel tank, a charging passage for connecting the fuel tank and the canister, an on-off valve provided in the charging passage for opening and closing the charging passage, and a pressure sensor provided in the charging passage at a position between the on-off valve and the fuel tank. A pressure in the canister is reduced to a pressure which is lower than the atmospheric pressure in the condition where the on-off valve is open. The on-off valve is closed at the time of completion of the pressure reduction, and it is determined that the charging passage is clogged between the pressure sensor and the fuel tank, when an amount of change in pressure detected by the pressure sensor is less than a predetermined change amount after closing the on-off valve.

摘要： An evaporated fuel treatment apparatus that has a leakage checking means that detects the conditions of change in the internal pressure of the fuel tank when said fuel tank is closed after being placed under a negative pressure, and a judgement means that judges the presence or absence of leakage in the fuel tank on the basis of the detection results obtained by the leakage checking means and correction checking means. The apparatus further includes a pressure variation checking means which detects the degree of pressure variation in the fuel tank, and then opens the fuel tank to the atmosphere and judges whether or not the pressure inside the fuel tank has dropped. Judgement prohibition means is provided that prohibits a judgement of the presence or absence of leakage from being made by the judgment means in response to a judgement by the pressure variation checking means that the pressure has dropped. Accordingly, a judgement of the presence or absence of leakage in the tank system is prevented from being performed in cases where such a judgement might be inaccurate.

摘要： An abnormality diagnosis apparatus for performing a leak check of an evaporative fuel processing system which includes a fuel tank, a canister for storing evaporative fuel generated in the fuel tank, a purging passage for connecting the canister to an intake system of an internal combustion engine, and a purge control valve provided in the purging passage. A process of reducing the pressure in the evaporative fuel processing system is executed with a limited flow rate of gases passing through the purge control valve when performing the leak check in an idling condition of the engine. The limited flow rate is set to a value equal to or smaller than a predetermined flow rate which is smaller than the maximum flow rate applied to the leak check performed in operating conditions other than the idling condition. The leak check is performed on the basis of a change in the pressure in the evaporative fuel processing system after the pressure reduction process.

摘要： The present invention enables a large leak to be accurately detected by providing an evaporated fuel treatment apparatus for an internal combustion engine. The apparatus comprises the evaporated fuel discharge prevention system including a fuel tank, a canister having an opening to the atmosphere, a passage allowing the fuel tank to communicate with the canister, a purging passage allowing the canister to communicate with the intake manifold of the engine. The apparatus also comprises a pressure sensor for detecting the pressure of the evaporated fuel discharge prevention system, and a controller coupled to the pressure sensor for judging the presence of a first leak in the evaporated fuel discharge prevention system if a change in the pressure from the pressure sensor is small. The controller further checks a change in the pressure from said pressure sensor when closing said system after placing said system under negative pressure. The controller judges the presence of a large leak if the first leak is judged and the pressure increases instantaneously upon closing said system.

摘要： An evaporative fuel-processing system for an internal combustion engine has an evaporative emission control system and a pressure sensor. An ECU carries out negative pressurization of the interior of the evaporative emission control system, by opening a purge control valve and closing a vent shut valve. The purge control valve is closed over a predetermined time period after the interior of the evaporative emission control system is brought into the predetermined negatively pressurized state, and a rate of decrease in negative pressure within the evaporative emission control system is detected. Then, it is determined whether or not there is leakage from the evaporative emission control system, based on the detected rate of decrease in the negative pressure, and at least one detected pressure value at at least one predetermined time point within the predetermined time period over which the purge control valve is closed.
