P0448 EVAP CANISTER VENT CONTROL VALVE

P0448 EVAP CANISTER VENT CONTROL VALVE

Description

INFOID:0000000000956671

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.

CHECK RUBBER TUBE

1.

Turn ignition switch OFF.

2.

Disconnect rubber tube connected to EVAP canister vent control valve.

3.

Check the rubber tube for clogging.

Is the inspection result normal?

YES

>> GO TO 2.

NO

>> Clean rubber tube using an air blower.

2.

CHECK EVAP CANISTER VENT CONTROL VALVE

Refer to 

EC-294, "Component Inspection"

.

Is the inspection result normal?

YES

>> GO TO 3.

NO

>> Replace EVAP canister vent control valve.

3.

CHECK IF EVAP CANISTER SATURATED WITH WATER

1.

Remove EVAP canister with EVAP canister vent control valve and EVAP control system pressure sensor
attached.

2.

Check if water will drain from the EVAP canister (1).

Does water drain from EVAP canister?

YES

>> GO TO 4.

NO

>> GO TO 6.

4.

CHECK EVAP CANISTER

Weigh the EVAP canister with the EVAP canister vent control valve and EVAP control system pressure sensor
attached.
