Monitor Description
5 hours* after the engine switch is turned off, the electric vacuum 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 engine 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 engine switch is turned off, the monitor check starts 2.5 hours later.
| Sequence | Operations | Descriptions | Duration | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| - | ECM activation | Activated by soak timer, 5 hours (7 or 9.5 hours) after engine switch 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 and 110 kPa (525 mmHg and 825 mmHg), ECM cancels EVAP system monitor. |
10 seconds | ||
| B | First 0.02 inch leak pressure measurement | In order to determine 0.02 inch leak pressure standard, vacuum pump creates negative pressure (vacuum) through 0.02 inch orifice and then ECM checks if vacuum 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(1) | ||
| D | VSV (for EVAP) monitor | VSV (for EVAP) opened and then EVAP system pressure measured by ECM. Large increase indicates normal. |
10 seconds | ||
| E | Second 0.02 inch leak pressure measurement | After second 0.02 inch leak pressure measurement, leak check performed by comparing first and second 0.02 inch leak pressure standards. If stabilized system pressure higher than second 0.02 inch leak pressure standard, ECM determines that EVAP system leaking. |
60 seconds | ||
| F | Final check | Atmospheric pressure measured and then monitoring result recorded by ECM. | - | ||

- P2419: Vent valve stuck closed
In operation B, the vacuum pump creates negative pressure (vacuum) through the 0.02 inch orifice. The EVAP system pressure is then measured by the ECM using the pressure sensor to determine the 0.02 inch leak pressure standard. If the pressure exceeds -1.06 kPa (-7.95 mmHg)* 4 seconds after the vacuum pump is turned ON, the ECM interprets this as the vent valve being stuck closed. The ECM illuminates the MIL and sets the DTC (2 trip detection logic).
*: The threshold varies according to the atmospheric pressure measured in operation A. The values described above is based on an atmospheric pressure of 100 kPa (750.1 mmHg): absolute pressure.
- 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 pressure sensor to conduct an EVAP leak check. If pressure does not drop when the vent valve is open, the ECM interprets this as the vent valve being stuck open. The ECM illuminates the MIL and sets the DTC.
