P2420

Vent valve stuck open (vent)

Following condition met during key-off EVAP monitor:

  • EVAP pressure change when vent valve closed (ON) less than 0.3 kPa-g (2.25 mmHg-g)
  • Canister pump module (Reference orifice, leak detection pump, vent valve)
  • Connector/wire harness (Canister pump module - ECM)
  • ECM

While ignition switch off

2 trip

HINT:

The vent valve is built into the canister pump module.

DESCRIPTION

The description can be found in the EVAP (Evaporative Emission) System 2UZ-FE ENGINE CONTROL: SFI SYSTEM: RELATED DTCS (2008 Sequoia)+ .

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

Refer to the EVAP System 2UZ-FE ENGINE CONTROL: SFI SYSTEM: RELATED DTCS (2008 Sequoia)+ .

MONITOR DESCRIPTION

5 hours* after the ignition switch is turned off, the leak detection pump creates negative pressure (vacuum) in the EVAP system. The ECM monitors for leaks and actuator malfunctions based on the EVAP pressure.

HINT:

*: If the engine coolant temperature is not below 35°C (95°F) 5 hours after the ignition switch is turned off, the monitor check starts 2 hours later. If it is still not below 35°C (95°F) 7 hours after the ignition switch is turned off, the monitor check starts 2.5 hours later.

Sequence

Operation

Description

Duration

-

ECM activation

Activated by soak timer 5, 7 or 9.5 hours after ignition switch turned off.

-

A

Atmospheric pressure measurement

Vent valve turned OFF (vent) and EVAP system pressure measured by ECM in order to register atmospheric pressure.

If pressure in EVAP system not between 70 kPa-a and 110 kPa-a (525 mmHg-a and 825 mmHg-a), ECM cancels EVAP system monitor.

10 seconds

B

First reference pressure measurement

In order to determine reference pressure, leak detection pump creates negative pressure (vacuum) through reference orifice and then ECM checks if leak detection pump and vent valve operate normally.

60 seconds

C

EVAP system pressure measurement

Vent valve turned ON (closed) to shut EVAP system.

Negative pressure (vacuum) created in EVAP system, and EVAP system pressure then measured.

Write down measured value as it will be used in leak check.

If EVAP pressure does not stabilize within 15 minutes, ECM cancels EVAP system monitor.

15 minutes*

D

Purge VSV monitor

Purge VSV opened and then EVAP system pressure measured by ECM.

Large increase indicates normality.

10 seconds

E

Second reference pressure measurement

After second reference pressure measurement, leak check performed by comparing first and second reference pressure.

If stabilized system pressure higher than second reference pressure, ECM determines that EVAP system leaking.

60 seconds

-

Final check

Atmospheric pressure measured and then monitoring result recorded by ECM.

-

*: If only a small amount of fuel is in the fuel tank, it takes longer for the EVAP pressure to stabilize.



P2420: Vent valve stuck open (vent)

In operation C, the vent valve turns ON (closes) and the EVAP system pressure is then measured by the ECM using the canister pressure sensor to conduct an EVAP leak check. If the pressure does not increase when the vent valve is open, the ECM interprets this as the vent valve being stuck open. The ECM illuminates the MIL and stores the DTC.
