Inspection Procedure
HINT:
Read freeze frame data. Freeze frame data records engine conditions when a malfunction is detected. When troubleshooting, freeze frame data can help determine if the vehicle was running or stopped, if the engine was warmed up or not, if the air-fuel ratio was lean or rich, and other data from the time the malfunction occurred.
- CHECK OTHER DTC OUTPUT (IN ADDITION TO DTC P0441, P0442, P0446 AND/OR P0456)iquest

CURRENT AND PENDING DTC RESULTCurrent DTC Pending DTC Conclusion Set Set System has been malfunctioning. Problem can be specified. Set - System was malfunctioning in previous driving cycle. Problem may be specified. - Set System is malfunctioning. This is intermittent problem and caused by fuel tank cap loosing. Otherwise, this problem may be difficult to eliminate. HINT:
The ECM stores the current DTC and illuminates the MIL when an emission-related component is malfunctioning in 2 consecutive driving cycles (2 trips). The MIL is turned OFF, if the component is functioning normally in 3 consecutive driving cycles. The ECM erases the current DTC, if the component is functioning normally in 40 consecutive driving cycles.
