What is the purpose and function of the Canister Purge Valve and Vapor Canister on an Acura TL?

The Evaporative Emissions Control (EVAP) system is designed to keep from escaping into the atmosphere fuel system vapors rich in unburned hydrocarbons. When it's warm outside, vapor from the fuel tank expands and is carried via various valves into the EVAP canister to temporarily store until the vehicle is run. Only under ideal conditions does the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) open the canister purge valve and entry vapors can be mixed with incoming air into the intake manifold where they're combusted in the combustion chambers. These vapors are stored in the EVAP canister, which is typically maintenance free, and contains activated charcoal. Included among the key components are the canister filter, canister vent shut valve, two way valve, the bypass solenoid valve and the fuel tank pressure sensor, all of which provide information and control specialty over vapor flow. When something is wrong, fuel smells common and, most of the time, engine performance suffers too, so you need to know what it is, so check hoses and connections for damage and leaks. The EVAP canister purge valve and the canister assembly can be accessed to perform repairs when the vehicle is raised, while the fuel tank pressure sensor and vent shut valve provide more involved disconnection and installation of various components. Hoses should be properly labeled and new O rings used when reassembling to maintain system integrity.

Acura TL Canister Purge Valve

Acura TL Canister Purge Valve regulates the flow of fuel vapors from the charcoal canister into the engine, reducing smog-forming hydrocarbons. Sitting between the charcoal canister and intake manifold, the Canister Purge Valve opens in response to the command of the Acura engine computer. This allows the vacuum in the intake manifold to draw in fresh air through the carbon pellets so that trapped gasoline fumes can mix with the normal air fuel charge and burn, rather than vent off to the sky. When the Canister Purge Valve is closed, the system is sealed so that the vapors remain trapped during parking or refueling. Early versions in the TL featured a simple vacuum actuated diaphragm. Later versions contained an electrically driven solenoid type Canister Purge Valve that can be cycled by the onboard diagnostics for self-tests. The newer solenoid type is faster to react. It also allows the ECM to measure system vacuum using a tank pressure sensor and helps to pinpoint leaks that otherwise would have set off the check engine lamp if a loose cap was ruled out. If the Canister Purge Valve is stuck, vapors will remain and a diagnostic code will display. However, when it is functioning properly, the entire EVAP circuit remains sealed and Acura keeps emissions well below federal limits on every TL.

We provide a broad range of OEM Acura TL Canister Purge Valve at unbeatable prices on our website. For your OEM parts, You can count on the guaranteed quality, manufacturer's warranty, outstanding customer service, and prompt delivery. We look forward to your visit.
