Purpose of Mode Z
When performing the leakage diagnosis of EVAP system, the purge control solenoid valve must operate nor-
mally. Therefore, mode Z is used to diagnose the purge control solenoid valve stuck open condition. Note
that if a purge control solenoid valve stuck open fault is detected, the EVAP system leakage diagnosis is can-
celled.
Diagnostic method
Purge control solenoid valve functional diagnosis is performed by monitoring the tank pressure in mode Z.
