Abstract:
Methods and systems are provided for an enablement condition for initiating engine-off natural vacuum (EONV) testing for evaporative emissions control (EVAP) system diagnostics. In one example, a method may include estimating an air mass summation enablement (AMSE) factor for EONV test enablement, which includes contributions from exhaust heat rejection into the fuel system during the previous drive cycle due to exhaust flow restriction.
