Crankcase Emission Control System
The positive crankcase ventilation system is employed to prevent air pollution caused by blow-by gases being emitted from the crankcase. This system supplies filtered fresh air to the crankcase through the air intake hose. Inside the crankcase, the fresh air mixes with blow-by gases, then passes through the PCV valve into the induction system.
