P2420

2AR-FE ENGINE CONTROL SYSTEM: SFI SYSTEM: P2420: Evaporative Emission System Switching Valve Control Circuit High
P2420 - Evaporative Emission System Switching Valve Control Circuit High

DTC SUMMARY





HINT
The vent valve is built into the canister pump module.

DESCRIPTION

The description can be found in EVAP (Evaporative Emission) System EVAP System.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

Refer to EVAP System EVAP System.

HINT
Unit expressions

- [kPa-a (mmHg-a)] is the absolute pressure.
- [kPa-g (mmHg-g)] is the gauge pressure (relative pressure).
- On the Techstream, convert the unit of measurement according to the inspection procedure.

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.





*: 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.

CONFIRMATION DRIVING PATTERN





NOTICE:
- The Evaporative System Check (Automatic Mode) consists of 5 steps performed automatically by Techstream. It takes a maximum of approximately 18 minutes.
- Do not perform the Evaporative System Check when the fuel tank is more than 90% full because the cut-off valve may be closed, making the fuel tank leak check unavailable.
- Do not run the engine during this operation.
- When the temperature of the fuel is 35°C (95°F) or higher, a large amount of vapor forms and any check results become inaccurate. When performing the Evaporative System Check, keep the fuel temperature below 35°C (95°F).

1. Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.

2. Turn the ignition switch to ON and turn the Techstream on.

3. Clear DTCs (even if no DTCs are stored, perform the clear DTC operation) [A].

4. Enter the following menu items: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Utility / Evaporative System Check / Automatic Mode.

5. After the "Evaporative System Check" is completed, check for All Readiness by entering the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Utility / All Readiness.

6. Input the DTC: P2420.

7. Check the DTC judgment result [B].





HINT
If the judgment result shows ABNORMAL, the system has a malfunction.

8. If the test result is UNKNOWN, enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Trouble Code / Pending.

9. Read Pending DTCs.

HINT
If a pending DTC is output, the system is malfunctioning.

10. If the test result is INCOMPLETE or UNKNOWN and no pending DTC is output, perform a universal trip and check for permanent DTCs DTC Check / Clear.

HINT
- If a permanent DTC is output, the system is malfunctioning.
- If no permanent DTC is output, the system is normal.
