Caution for the Inspection and

firing during dynamometer test
-
ing, turn the Electronic Stability
Control (ESC) system off by
pressing the ESC switch.
䳜 After dynamometer testing is
completed, turn the ESC system

1. Crankcase emission control sys
-
tem
The positive crankcase ventilation
system is employed to prevent air
pollution caused by blow-by gases
being emitted from the crankcase.
This system supplies fresh filtered
air to the crankcase through the air
intake hose. Inside the crankcase,
the fresh air mixes with blow-by
gases, which then pass through the
PCV valve into the induction system.
2. Evaporative emission control
system
The Evaporative Emission Control
System is designed to prevent fuel
vapours from escaping into the
atmosphere.
Canister
Fuel vapours generated inside the
fuel tank are absorbed and stored in
the onboard canister. When the
engine is running, the fuel vapours
absorbed in the canister are drawn
into the surge tank through the
purge control solenoid valve.
