    摘要: A method of pinched line detection for an evaporative emission control system to determine if a pinched line is present within the system includes the steps of pulsing a leak detection pump at a predetermined rate and determining if a last pump period is less than a predetermined possible pinched line period limit. The method also includes the steps of concluding a possible pinched line if the last pump period is not less than the possible pinched line period limit and concluding that there is not a possible pinched line if the last pump period is greater than or equal to the possible pinched line period limit.

    摘要: A method is provided for testing an evaporative emission control system for a missing or loose fuel cap comprising detecting a refueling event and running a leak detection test of the evaporative emission control system to determine if a large leak is present. If a large leak is detected, the methodology sets a fault code and activates a driver warning lamp indicating a potential cap sealing problem. The leak detection test is repeatedly re-executed after the large leak is detected to determine when the large leak condition ceases. When the large leak condition ceases, the previously set fault code is removed and the driver warning lamp is deactivated. If the large leak does not cease and is detected again after the next refueling event when an opportunity for resealing the cap existed, a new fault code is set indicating that the potential cap sealing problem is a persistent problem so that the integrity of the evaporative system may need to be tested. After setting the new fault code, fuel cap specific leak detection testing is suspended until the condition is serviced and the fault code is cleared or a normal leak detection test determines that there is no longer a problem. If no large leak is detected, the fuel cap is assumed to be properly sealed.

    摘要: A method is provided for cleansing a seal of a device used for sealing an evaporative emission control system of an automotive vehicle. The method starts by determining if a request to close the device has been made. If the request to close the device has been made, the method cycles the device a plurality of times to press and lift the seal off of a seat repeatedly. The method also determines if the seal is closed after the cycling step. If the seal is not closed after the cycling step, the method closes the seal. Preferably, the cycling step includes cycling the device at a pre-selected duty cycle, frequency and cycle count. The duty cycle, frequency, and cycle count correspond to calibration tables prepared for the particular device employed to insure that the seal strikes its seat about three times before sealing.

    摘要: A method is provided for detecting a very small leak in an evaporative emission control system of an automotive vehicle. The method includes sealing the evaporative emission control system at a key-off event and monitoring a vacuum switch coupled to the evaporative emission control system for a closing event due to a natural vacuum created in the evaporative emission control system as it cools. If the closing event is not detected, the method determines if a leak detection timer has exceeded a predetermined threshold value. If the timer has exceeded the predetermined threshold value, the method sets a fault code indicating that the very small leak has been detected. Preferably, the leak detection timer includes a first time value corresponding to an amount of time the automotive vehicle has been operating since a previous small leak detection test was conducted and a second time value corresponding to an amount of time the automotive vehicle has been inoperative since a previous small leak detection test was conducted. The first time value includes a series of individual trip times of the automotive vehicle while the second time value includes a series of individual inoperative session times of the automotive vehicle.
