Camry (PZEV) & 4Runner 4.0L V6

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 17 other vehicles, including the 2003 Toyota Tundra, 2003 Toyota Tacoma, 2003 Toyota Sienna, 2003 Toyota Sequoia, and 2003 Toyota RAV4. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

When the internal pressure of the fuel tank increases during refueling, this pressure causes the diaphragm in the refueling valve to lift up, allowing the fuel vapors to enter the charcoal canister. Because the canister closed valve is always open (even when the engine is stopped) when the system is in a mode other than the monitoring mode, the air that has been cleaned through the charcoal canister and trap canister (Camry PZEV only) are discharged outside of the vehicle via the fresh air line. See Fig 1. If the vehicle is refueled during the system monitoring mode, the ECM will recognize the refueling by way of the vapor pressure sensor, which detects the sudden pressure increase in the fuel tank, and will open the canister closed valve.
