EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM
Your Hyundai is equipped with an emission
control system to meet all requirements of the
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency or Cali-
fornia Air Resources Board.
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 ensure the proper function of the
emission control systems, it is recommended
that you have your car inspected and main-
tained by an authorized Hyundai dealer in ac-
cordance with the maintenance schedule in this
manual.

System System
The Positive Crankcase Ventilation System is
employed to prevent air pollution caused by
blow-by gases being emitted from the crank-
case. 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 and into the induction system.

Canister

Canister Canister Canister 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
induction system through the purge control so-
lenoid valve.

Purge Control Solenoid Valve (PCSV)

Purge Control Solenoid Valve (PCSV) Purge Control Solenoid Valve (PCSV) Purge Control Solenoid Valve (PCSV) 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 Exhaust Emission Control System is a
highly effective system which controls exhaust
emissions while maintaining good vehicle
