DTC P0441 EVAP CONTROL SYSTEM

PFP:14950

System Description

NBS001WT

NOTE:
If DTC P0441 is displayed with other DTC such as P2122, P2123, P2127, P2128 or P2138, first perform
trouble diagnosis for other DTC.

In this evaporative emission (EVAP) control system, purge flow occurs during non-closed throttle conditions.
Purge volume is related to air intake volume. Under normal purge conditions (non-closed throttle), the EVAP
canister purge volume control solenoid valve is open to admit purge flow. Purge flow exposes the EVAP con-
trol system pressure sensor to intake manifold vacuum.

On Board Diagnosis Logic

NBS001WU

Under normal conditions (non-closed throttle), sensor output voltage indicates if pressure drop and purge flow
are adequate. If not, a malfunction is determined.

DTC Confirmation Procedure

NBS001WV

CAUTION:

Always drive vehicle at a safe speed.

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:
Always perform test at a temperature of more than 5

°

C (41

DTC P0441 EVAP CONTROL SYSTEM

 WITH CONSULT-II

1.

Start engine and warm it up to normal operating temperature.

2.

Turn ignition switch OFF and wait at least 10 seconds.

3.

Start engine and let it idle for at least 70 seconds.

4.

Select “PURG FLOW P0441” of “EVAPORATIVE SYSTEM” in
“DTC WORK SUPPORT” mode with CONSULT-II.

5.

Touch “START”.
If “COMPLETED” is displayed, go to step 7.

6.

When the following conditions are met, “TESTING” will be dis-
played on the CONSULT-II screen. Maintain the conditions con-
tinuously until “TESTING” changes to “COMPLETED”. (It will
take at least 35 seconds.)

If “TESTING” is not changed for a long time, retry from step 2.

7.

Make sure that “OK” is displayed after touching “SELF-DIAG RESULTS”. If “NG” is displayed, refer to 

EC-

393, "Diagnostic Procedure"

 .

Overall Function Check

NBS001WW

Use this procedure to check the overall monitoring function of the EVAP control system purge flow monitoring.
During this check, a 1st trip DTC might not be confirmed.

 WITH GST

1.

Lift up drive wheels.

2.

Start engine (VDC switch OFF) and warm it up to normal operating temperature.

3.

Turn ignition switch OFF and wait at least 10 seconds.

4.

Start engine and wait at least 70 seconds.

5.

Set voltmeter probes to ECM terminal 32 (EVAP control system
pressure sensor signal) and ground.

6.

Check EVAP control system pressure sensor value at idle speed
and note it.

7.

Establish and maintain the following conditions for at least 1
minute.

Verify that EVAP control system pressure sensor value stays 0.1V less than the value at idle speed (mea-
sured at step 6) for at least 1 second.
