DTC SUMMARY

DTC Monitoring Item Malfunction Detection Condition Trouble Area Detection Timing Detection Logic
P0441 Purge VSV (Vacuum Switching Valve) stuck open Leak detection pump creates negative pressure (vacuum) in EVAP system and EVAP system pressure measured. Reference pressure measured at start and at end of leak check.
If stabilized pressure higher than [second reference pressure x 0.2], ECM determines that purge VSV stuck open.
  • Purge VSV Connector/wire harness (Purge VSV - ECM)
  • ECM
  • Canister pump module
  • Leakage from EVAP system
While ignition switch OFF 2 trip
Purge VSV stuck closed After EVAP leak check performed, purge VSV turned ON (open), and atmospheric air introduced into EVAP system. Reference pressure measured at start and at end of check.
If pressure does not return to near atmospheric pressure, ECM determines that purge VSV stuck closed.

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