P0420, P0430 THREE WAY CATALYST FUNCTION

If the 1st trip DTC is detected, go to 

EC-266, "Diagnosis Procedure"

.

Overall Function Check

INFOID:0000000006158695

Use this procedure to check the overall function of the three way catalyst (manifold). During this check, a 1st

trip DTC might not be confirmed.

 WITH GST

1. Start engine and warm it up to the normal operating temperature.
2. Turn ignition switch OFF and wait at least 10 seconds.
3. Start engine and keep the engine speed between 3,500 and 4,000 rpm for at least 1 minute under no load.
4. Let engine idle for 1 minute.
5. Open engine hood.
6. Set voltmeter probes between ECM terminals ECM terminals 55

[HO2S2 (bank 1) signal], 74 [HO2S2 (bank 2) signal] and

ground.

7. Keep engine speed at 2,500 rpm constant under no load.
8. Make sure that the voltage does not vary for more than 5 sec-

onds.

If the voltage fluctuation cycle takes less than 5 seconds, go to

EC-266, "Diagnosis Procedure"

.

• 1 cycle: 0.6 - 1.0

CHECK FUNCTION OF IGNITION COIL-I

CAUTION:

Do the following procedure in the place where ventilation is good without the combustible.

1. Turn ignition switch OFF.

2. Remove fuel pump fuse in IPDM E/R to release fuel pressure.

NOTE:

Do not use CONSULT-III to release fuel pressure, or fuel pres-

sure applies again during the following procedure.

3. Start engine.

4. After engine stalls, crank it two or three times to release all fuel

pressure.

5. Turn ignition switch OFF.

6. Remove all ignition coil harness connectors to avoid the electri-

cal discharge from the ignition coils.

7. Remove ignition coil and spark plug of the cylinder to be

checked.

8. Crank engine for 5 seconds or more to remove combustion gas in the cylinder.

9. Connect spark plug and harness connector to ignition coil.

10. Fix ignition coil using a rope etc. with gap of 13 - 17 mm

between the edge of the spark plug and grounded metal portion

as shown in the figure.

11. Crank engine for about 3 seconds, and check whether spark is

generated between the spark plug and the grounded metal por-

tion.

CAUTION:

• Do not approach to the spark plug and the ignition coil

within 50cm. Be careful not to get an electrical shock

while checking, because the electrical discharge voltage

becomes 20kV or more.

• It might cause to damage the ignition coil if the gap of more than 17 mm is taken.

NOTE:

When the gap is less than 13 mm, the spark might be generated even if the coil is malfunctioning.

OK or NG

OK

>> GO TO 10.

P0441 EVAP CONTROL SYSTEM

System Description

INFOID:0000000006158697

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

INFOID:0000000006158698

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

INFOID:0000000006158699

CAUTION:

Always drive vehicle at a safe speed.

NOTE:

If DTC Confirmation Procedure has been previously conducted, always perform the following before conduct-

ing the next step. 
1. Turn ignition swich OFF and wait at least 10 seconds.
2. Turn ignition swich ON.
3. Turn ignition swich OFF and wait at least 10 seconds.
