DTC P0447 EVAP CANISTER VENT CONTROL VALVE

DTC P0447 EVAP CANISTER VENT CONTROL VALVE

Component Description

INFOID:0000000001326782

The EVAP canister vent control valve is located on the EVAP canis-
ter and is used to seal the canister vent.
This solenoid valve responds to signals from the ECM. When the
ECM sends an ON signal, the coil in the solenoid valve is energized.
A plunger will then move to seal the canister vent. The ability to seal
the vent is necessary for the on board diagnosis of other evaporative
emission control system components.
This solenoid valve is used only for diagnosis, and usually remains
opened.
When the vent is closed, under normal purge conditions, the evapo-
rative emission control system is depressurized and allows “EVAP
Control System” diagnosis.

DTC Confirmation Procedure

INFOID:0000000001326785

NOTE:
If DTC Confirmation Procedure has been previously conducted, always turn ignition switch OFF and wait at
least 10 seconds before conducting the next test.
TESTING CONDITION:
Before performing the following procedure, confirm battery voltage is more than 11V at idle.
1.

Start engine and wait at least 8 seconds.

2.

Check 1st trip DTC.

3.

If 1st trip DTC is detected, go to 

EC-948, "Diagnosis Procedure"

Specification data are reference values and are measured between each terminal and ground.

CAUTION:

Do not use ECM ground terminals when measuring input/output voltage. Doing so may result in dam-
age to the ECM's transistor. Use a ground other than ECM terminals, such as the ground.

Diagnosis Procedure

INFOID:0000000001326787

1.

INSPECTION START

Do you have CONSULT-III?
Yes or No

Yes

>> GO TO 2.

No

>> GO TO 3.

2.

CHECK EVAP CANISTER VENT CONTROL VALVE CIRCUIT

 With CONSULT-III

1.

Turn ignition switch OFF and then turn ON.

2.

Select “VENT CONTROL/V” in “ACTIVE TEST” mode with CONSULT-III.

3.

Touch “ON/OFF” on CONSULT-III screen.

4.

Check for operating sound of the valve.

OK or NG

OK

>> GO TO 7.

NG

>> GO TO 3.

3.

CHECK EVAP CANISTER VENT CONTROL VALVE POWER SUPPLY CIRCUIT

1.

Turn ignition switch OFF.

2.

Disconnect EVAP canister vent control valve harness connector.

3.

Turn ignition switch ON.

4.

Check voltage between EVAP canister vent control valve termi-
nal 1 and ground with CONSULT-III or tester.

OK or NG

OK

>> GO TO 5.

NG

>> GO TO 4.

4.

DETECT MALFUNCTIONING PART
