13A-610

STEP 4. Using scan tool MB991958, check actuator test 
item 29: Evaporative Emission Ventilation Solenoid.
(1) Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
(2) Set scan tool MB991958 to the actuator test mode for item 

29, Evaporative emission ventilation solenoid.

• An operation sound should be heard and vibration 

should be felt when the evaporative emission ventilation 
solenoid is operated.

(3) Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.
Q: Is the solenoid operating properly?

YES : Repair or replace the vent hose and air filter. Then go 

to Step 5.

NO :  Replace the evaporative emission ventilation 

solenoid. Then go to Step 5.

STEP 5. Test the OBD-II drive cycle. 
(1) Carry out a test drive with the drive cycle pattern. Refer to 

Diagnostic Function 

− OBD-II Drive Cycle − Procedure 1 − 

Evaporative Emission System Leak Monitor 

P.13A-6

.

(2) Read the diagnostic trouble code.
Q: Is DTC P0441 set?

YES : Retry the troubleshooting.
NO :  The inspection is complete.

13A-612

TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION

• The PCM monitors the Evaporative Emission 

(EVAP) System pressure.

• The PCM controls the evaporative emission ven-

tilation solenoid. It closes the evaporative emis-
sion ventilation solenoid to seal the evaporative 
emission canister side of the system.

• The evaporative emission purge solenoid is 

opened to allow manifold vacuum to create low 
pressure (vacuum) in the EVAP system.

• When the EVAP system develops a vacuum of 2 

kPa (0.29 psi), the evaporative emission purge 
solenoid is closed and the fuel system vacuum is 
maintained at 2 kPa. (0.29 psi).

• The PCM determines whether there is a leak in 

the EVAP system by monitoring the vacuum 
inside the fuel tank.

• The test is stopped when fuel vapor pressure 

exceeds predetermined limits.

.

DESCRIPTIONS OF MONITOR METHODS

• Measure reverting pressure after depressurizing 

by intake manifold negative pressure and detect 
malfunction if reverting pressure rises largely.

.

MONITOR EXECUTION

• Once per driving cycle.
