Q: What is the function of the evaporative emissions control system and how to check the Canister on 1997 through 2001 Toyota Solara and 1997 through 2001 Toyota Avalon?
A: The evaporative emissions control system draws and burns fuel vapors from the fuel system, storing them in a charcoal canister. A strong fuel smell indicates a system fault, warranting a charcoal canister inspection. Check the canister and hoses for damage. On newer models, the EVAP canister is near the fuel tank at the vehicle's rear.
