The Saturn Ion's Canister Purge Valves capture fuel vapors and send them back to the engine so hydrocarbons can be burned rather than released into the air, greatly reducing smog-forming emissions. The valve is found between the charcoal canister and the intake manifold. It opens when an engine vacuum combines with an engine control module command. As a result, any fresh air enters the canister, sweeping stored vapors into combustion chambers. During onboard leak checks, the module closes the canister vent and opens the valve. It follows the fuel tank pressure sensor, which should show a steady vacuum. This means that the Canister Purge Valves and associated hoses are sealing correctly, and the check engine light does not come on. According to the USEPA, two generations exist, an early vacuum-driven type and the newer Saturn Ion Canister Purge Valves that use electrically actuated solenoids. The latter group offers faster response and is compatible with OBD II self-diagnostics. Irrespective of generations of a vehicle, the Canister Purge Valves relies on the canister's activated carbon and tight-fitting fuel cap to maintain vapor pressure and mileage. Keeping an eye on the Saturn Ion Canister Purge Valves avoids a malfunction warning light and helps the engine run clean.
