EMISSION CONTROL
SYSTEMS
H010B01A-AAT
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.
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.
H010D01A-AAT
3. Exhaust Emission Control
System
The Exhaust Emission Control System is a
highly effective system which controls
exhaust emissions while maintaining good
vehicle performance.
H010A01NF-AAT
Your Hyundai is equipped with an emission
control system to meet all emission
regulations.
There are three emission control systems
which are as follows.
(1) Crankcase emission control system
(2) Evaporative emission control system
(3) Exhaust emission control system
In order to assure the proper function of the
emission control systems, it is
recommended that you have your car
inspected and maintained by an authorized
Hyundai dealer in accordance with the
maintenance schedule in this manual.
Caution for the Inspection and Mainte-
nance Test With Electronic Stability
Control (ESC) system
o To prevent the vehicle from misfiring
during dynamometer testing, turn the
Electronic Stability Control (ESC) sys-
tem off by pressing the ESC switch.
o After dynamometer testing is com-
pleted, turn the ESC system back on
by pressing the ESC switch again.
H010C01S-AAT
2. Evaporative Emission Control (In-
cluding ORVR: Onboard Refueling
Vapor Recovery) System
The Evaporative Emission Control System
is designed to prevent fuel vapors from
escaping into the atmosphere.
(The ORVR system is designed to allow
the vapors from the fuel tank to be loaded
into a canister while refueling at the gas
station, preventing the escape of fuel
vapors into the atmosphere.)
