Abstract: An evaporative fuel vapor control system, purge valve and methods are described. The system includes a fuel supply, internal combustion engine, vapor canister, and a purge valve. The purge valve includes a sensor disposed in the body housing of the purge valve and in communication with the flow passage to provide a signal indicative of the magnitude of chemicals in the fuel vapor being provided to the engine. Various methodologies relating the system, purge valve and sensors are described.

Abstract: A method of assembling a cooling module with the module having a shroud (38) having a cover (42) receiving bearing structure (40). The cover has an opening (68) therein. A fan (36) is provided for moving air. A rotor and stator assembly (30) has an opened end and includes a stator, including permanent magnet structure (14), and a rotor having laminations (16), windings (21), a shaft (18) and a commutator (20). A brush and connector unit (52?) including brushes. The method mounts the fan to a first end of the shaft. The rotor and stator assembly is coupled to the cover to substantially close the opened end, with a second end of the shaft being received by the bearing structure. The brush and connector unit is inserted through the opening such that the brushes are associated with the commutator. The brush and connector unit is secured to the cover.

Abstract: A cooling module includes a shroud (38) having an integral cover (42). The cover receives bearing structure (40). A fan (36) is provided for moving air. A rotor and stator assembly (30) has an opened end and includes a stator (29) having permanent magnets. A rotor (31) includes a lamination stack (16), windings (21), a commutator (20); and a shaft (18). The rotor is associated with the stator so as to rotate with respect thereto. One end (34) of the shaft is coupled with the fan and another end (39) of the shaft is received by the bearing structure. A brush and connector unit (52) is associated with the cover of the shroud and includes brushes (58) associated with the commutator, and an electrical connector (62). The cover covers the opened end of the rotor and stator assembly and covers at least a portion of a brush and connector unit.
