PURGE CONTROL [SKYACTIV-G 2.0]

id0140f4203800

Outline

• An appropriate amount of evaporative gas is fed into the intake manifold by the purge solenoid valve operation according to the engine operation conditions. This ensures driveability and prevents release of evaporative gas into the atmosphere.

• The PCM drives the purge solenoid valve based on the signal from each control part.

Operation

Determination of purge solenoid valve energization time

• Determined by the PCM based on the target purge flow amount corresponding to the engine operation conditions. The actual operation delays the rise of operation current from coil inductance and corrects the energization time according to fluctuations in battery voltage. This causes an operation delay based on the mass of the valve and plunger, and spring resistance. The lower the rate of battery positive voltage, the longer the energization time.

Calculation method for purge flow amount

• The PCM determines the purge flow amount through the addition of each correction to the target purge flow amount.

Calculation or determination method of purge flow amount and correction

Target purge flow amount

The target purge flow amount is determined by multiplying the correction for the intake air temperature and the fuel evaporative gas concentration with the purge mass volume. The purge mass volume is calculated from the purge intake rate for the intake air mass volume which differs according to engine conditions.

Correction

Purge startup correction

Purpose: Prevents a change in the air/fuel ratio due to a purge intake lacking evaporative gas concentration in the charcoal canister.

During purge control startup

• When purge control operation conditions are met→correction

Volume decrease correction

Purpose: Decreases the purge flow amount and stabilizes the air/fuel ratio

Unstable combustion condition (feedback correction value for fuel injection control is unstable)

• Determined according to the A/F sensor feedback conditions

Operation condition

• In evaporative purge control during normal driving, the PCM sends a duty signal to the purge solenoid valve when all of the following conditions are met.

― Fuel injection control is in feedback zone (λ=1)

― Engine coolant temperature 60 °C {140 °F} or more
