TSB Revision

MULTIPORT FUEL INJECTION (MFI) <2.4L>

13A-489

STEP 18. Test the OBD-II drive cycle.
(1) Confirm the repair by performing the appropriate drive cycle  

(Refer to Diagnostic Function 

− OBD-ll Drive Cycle − 

Procedure 1 

− Evaporative Emission System Leak Monitor 

P.13A-5

). 

(2) Read the diagnostic trouble code.
Q: Is diagnostic trouble code P0442 set?

YES : Go to Step 1.
NO :  This diagnosis is complete.

.

CIRCUIT OPERATION

• Power to the evaporative emission purge sole-

noid power is supplied from the MFI relay (termi-
nal No. 4).

• The ECM <M/T> or PCM <A/T> controls ground 

evaporative emission purge solenoid by turning 
the power transistor in the ECM <M/T> or PCM 
<A/T> "ON" and "OFF".

.

TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION

• To judge if there is open circuit in the evaporative 

emission purge solenoid drive circuit, ECM 
<M/T> or PCM <A/T> measures the surge volt-
age of the evaporative emission purge solenoid 
coil.

• The ECM <M/T> or PCM <A/T> drives the evapo-

rative emission purge solenoid. After the solenoid 
is turned off, the ECM <M/T> or PCM <A/T> will 
check if the solenoid coil produces a surge volt-
age of 2 volts or more.

.

DESCRIPTIONS OF MONITOR METHODS
Off-surge does not occur after solenoid is operated 

from on to off.

.

MONITOR EXECUTION
Once per driving cycle

DTC SET CONDITIONS

LOGIC FLOW CHART

.

Check Conditions

• Engine is being cranked.

• Battery positive voltage is at between 10 and 

16.5 volts.

Judgment Criteria

• The evaporative emission purge solenoid coil 

surge voltage (battery positive voltage + 2 volts) 
is not detected for 0.2 second.

• The ECM<M/T> or PCM<A/T> monitors for this 

condition once during the drive cycle.

Check Conditions

• Battery positive voltage is at between 10 and 

16.5 volts.

• ON duty cycle of the evaporative emission purge 

solenoid is between 10 and 90 percent.

• ON duty cycle of the EGR vacuum regulator sole-

noid valve is 0 percent.

• Evaporative emission ventilation solenoid is OFF.

• More than 1 second has elapsed after the above 

mentioned conditions have been met. 

Judgment Criteria

• The evaporative emission purge solenoid coil 

surge voltage (battery positive voltage + 2 volts) 
is not detected for 1 second. When the evapora-
tive emission purge solenoid is turned OFF.

TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS (The most likely 
causes for this code to be set are: )

• Evaporative emission purge solenoid failed.

• Open or shorted evaporative emission purge 

solenoid circuit, or harness damage, or connector 
damage.

• ECM failed. <M/T>

• PCM failed. <A/T>
