Kia Picanto: Emission control system / 2. Evaporative emission control
system
The Evaporative Emission Control System
is designed to prevent fuel vapors
from escaping into the atmosphere.
Canister
Fuel vapors generated inside the fuel
tank are absorbed and stored in the onboard
canister. When the engine is running,
the fuel vapors absorbed in the
canister are drawn into the surge tank
through the purge control solenoid
valve.
Purge Control Solenoid Valve (PCSV)
The purge control solenoid valve is controlled
by the Engine Control Module
(ECM); when the engine coolant temperature
is low during idling, the PCSV
closes so that evaporated fuel is not
taken into the engine. After the engine
warms up during ordinary driving, the
PCSV opens to introduce evaporated
fuel to the engine.
The emission control system of your
vehicle is covered by a written limited
warranty. Please see the warranty information
contained in the Warranty &
Maintenance book in your vehicle.
