DTC SUMMARY

DESCRIPTION

The description can be found in the EVAP (Evaporative Emission) System (See page 

ES-352

).

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

Refer to the EVAP System (See page 

ES-357

).

MONITOR DESCRIPTION

The two monitors, Key-Off and Purge Flow, are used to detect malfunctions relating to DTC P0441. The 

Key-Off monitor is initiated by the ECM internal timer, known as the soak timer, 5 hours

*

 after the ignition 

switch is turned to OFF. The purge flow monitor runs while the engine is running.
1. KEY-OFF MONITOR

5 hours

*

 after the ignition switch is turned to OFF, the leak detection pump creates negative pressure 

(vacuum) in the EVAP system. The ECM monitors for leaks and actuator malfunctions based on the 
EVAP pressure.
HINT:

*

: If the engine coolant temperature is not below 35

°C (95°F) 5 hours after the ignition switch is turned 

to OFF, the monitor check starts 2 hours later. If it is still not below 35

°C (95°F) 7 hours after the ignition 

switch is turned to OFF, the monitor check starts 2.5 hours later.

 If only a small amount of fuel is in the fuel tank, it takes longer for the EVAP pressure to stabilize.

A

Atmospheric pressure 
measurement

Vent valve turned OFF (vent) and EVAP system pressure measured by ECM in order to 
register atmospheric pressure.
If pressure in EVAP system not between 70 kPa-a and 110 kPa-a (525 mmHg-a and 825 
mmHg-a), ECM cancels EVAP system monitor.

10 seconds

B

First reference 
pressure measurement

In order to determine reference pressure, leak detection pump creates negative pressure 
(vacuum) through reference orifice and then ECM checks if leak detection pump and vent 
valve operate normally.

60 seconds

C

EVAP system pressure 
measurement

Vent valve turned ON (closed) to shut EVAP system.
Negative pressure (vacuum) created in EVAP system, and EVAP system pressure then 
measured.
Write down measured value as will be used in leak check.
If EVAP pressure does not stabilize within 15 minutes, ECM cancels EVAP system monitor.

15 minutes

*

D

Purge VSV monitor

Purge VSV opened and then EVAP system pressure measured by ECM.
Large increase indicates normality.

10 seconds

E

Second reference 
pressure measurement

After second reference pressure measurement, leak check performed by comparing first and 
second reference pressure.
If stabilized system pressure higher than second reference pressure, ECM determines that 
EVAP system leaking.

60 seconds

F

Final check

Atmospheric pressure measured and then monitoring result recorded by ECM.

(a)Purge VSV stuck open

In operation C, the leak detection pump creates negative pressure (vacuum) in the EVAP system. 
The EVAP system pressure is then measured by the ECM using the canister pressure sensor. If the 
stabilized system pressure is higher than [second reference pressure x 0.2], the ECM interprets this 
as the purge VSV (Vacuum Switching Valve) being stuck open. The ECM illuminates the MIL and 
sets the DTC (2 trip detection logic).
