DTC Summary

DTC SUMMARY

DTC No. Monitoring Item DTC Detection Condition Trouble Area Detection Timing Detection Logic
P0441 EVAP VSV (Vacuum Switching Valve) stuck open Vacuum pump creates negative pressure (vacuum) in EVAP system and EVAP system pressure is measured. 0.02 inch leak pressure standard is measured at start and at end of leak check.
If stabilized pressure is higher than [second 0.02 inch leak pressure standard x 0.2], ECM determines that EVAP VSV is stuck open
  • EVAP VSV
  • Connector/wire harness (EVAP VSV - ECM)
  • ECM
  • Pump module
  • Leakage from EVAP system
While engine switch off 2 trip
P0441 EVAP VSV stuck closed After EVAP leak check is performed, EVAP VSV is turned ON (open), and atmospheric air is introduced into EVAP system. 0.02 inch leak pressure standard is measured at start and at end of the check.
If pressure does not return to near atmospheric pressure, ECM determines that purge valve is stuck closed
  • EVAP VSV
  • Connector/wire harness (EVAP VSV - ECM)
  • ECM
  • Pump module
  • Leakage from EVAP system

P0441 Purge flow While engine is running, following conditions are successively met:
  • Negative pressure is not created in EVAP system when EVAP VSV is turned ON (open)
  • EVAP system pressure change is less than 0.5 kPa (3.75 mmHg) when vent valve is turned ON (closed)
  • Atmospheric pressure change before and after purge flow monitor is less than 0.1 kPa (0.75 mmHg)
  • EVAP VSV
  • Connector/wire harness (EVAP VSV - ECM)
  • Leakage from EVAP line (EVAP VSV - Intake manifold)
  • ECM
