Abstract:
Methods and systems are provided for diagnostics of an intake air system hydrocarbon (AIS HC) trap during vehicle-off conditions. In one example, a method may include generating fuel vapor in a fuel tank, directing the generated vapor to the AIS HC trap, and then actively purging the AIS HC trap. Degradation of the AIS HC trap may be indicated based on an exhaust air fuel ratio during the active purging of the AIS HC trap.
