Abstract

See full text

A evaporated fuel processing device includes a seal valve that seals off the fuel tank from the atmosphere, a canister, a changeover valve that allows or inhibits communication of the canister with the atmosphere, the canister internal pressure sensor, a controller that sends an open/close command to the seal valve and the changeover valve, a diagnosis unit that performs leak diagnosis of an evaporated fuel sealing system, and a negative pressure pump that generates pressure in the evaporated fuel sealing system. The diagnosis unit performs leak diagnosis of the entirety of the evaporated fuel sealing system before performing leak diagnosis of a canister side section. The diagnosis unit performs function diagnosis of the seal valve with the seal valve closed and the changeover valve at a shut-off position based on whether the detection value of the tank internal pressure sensor varies beyond a predetermined range of the generated pressure.
