SFI SYSTEM, Diagnostic DTC:P044313

DTC Code DTC Name
P044313 Evaporative Emission System Purge Control Valve "A" Circuit Open

DESCRIPTION

To reduce hydrocarbon (HC) emissions, evaporated fuel from the fuel tank is routed through a charcoal canister to the intake manifold for combustion in the cylinders.

The ECM changes the duty signals to the purge VSV (Vacuum Switching Valve for Purge Control) so that the intake amount of hydrocarbon (HC) emissions is appropriate for the driving conditions (engine load, engine speed, vehicle speed, etc.) after the engine is warmed up.

DTC No. DTC Detection Condition Trouble Area

Both of the following conditions (a) and (b) are met (1 trip detection logic):

(a) The purge VSV operation duty signal is 5 to 95%.

(b) The target control value and actual control value do not match for 10 seconds or more.

  • Open or short in purge VSV circuit

  • Purge VSV

  • No. 1 integration relay

  • ECM

CONFIRMATION DRIVING PATTERN

B000H38E12

  1. Connect the GTS to the DLC3.

  2. Turn the engine switch on (IG) and turn the GTS on.

  3. Clear the DTCs (even if no DTCs are stored, perform the clear DTC procedure).

  4. Turn the engine switch off and wait for at least 30 seconds.

  5. Turn the engine switch on (IG) and turn the GTS on.

  6. Start the engine and warm it up until the engine coolant temperature is 75°C (167°F) or higher [A].

    Tech Tips

    The A/C switch and all accessory switches should be off.

  7. Idle the engine for 15 minutes or more [B].

    Tech Tips

    Check the EVAP (Purge) VSV item in the Data List. When the value of this item is between 5 and 95%, the judgment will be performed.

  8. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Trouble Codes [C].

  9. Read the pending DTCs.

    Tech Tips


    • If a pending DTC is output, the system is malfunctioning.

    • If a pending DTC is not output, perform the following procedure.

  10. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Utility / All Readiness.

  11. Input the DTC: P044313.

  12. Check the DTC judgment result.

    GTS Display Description
    NORMAL

    • DTC judgment completed

    • System normal
    ABNORMAL

    • DTC judgment completed

    • System abnormal
    INCOMPLETE

    • DTC judgment not completed

    • Perform driving pattern after confirming DTC enabling conditions
    N/A

    • Unable to perform DTC judgment

    • Number of DTCs which do not fulfill DTC preconditions has reached ECU memory limit

    Tech Tips


    • If the judgment result shows NORMAL, the system is normal.

    • If the judgment result shows ABNORMAL, the system has a malfunction.

    • If the judgment result shows INCOMPLETE or N/A, perform steps [D] and [E].

  13. Drive the vehicle at a constant speed between 40 and 60 km/h (25 and 37 mph) for 10 minutes or more [D].

    CAUTION:

    When performing the confirmation driving pattern, obey all speed limits and traffic laws.

  14. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Trouble Codes [E].

  15. Read the pending DTCs.

    Tech Tips


    • If a pending DTC is output, the system is malfunctioning.

    • If a pending DTC is not output, perform the following procedure.

  16. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Utility / All Readiness.

  17. Input the DTC: P044313.

  18. Check the DTC judgment result.

    GTS Display Description
    NORMAL

    • DTC judgment completed

    • System normal
    ABNORMAL

    • DTC judgment completed

    • System abnormal
    INCOMPLETE

    • DTC judgment not completed

    • Perform driving pattern after confirming DTC enabling conditions
    N/A

    • Unable to perform DTC judgment

    • Number of DTCs which do not fulfill DTC preconditions has reached ECU memory limit

    Tech Tips


    • If the judgment result shows NORMAL, the system is normal.

    • If the judgment result shows ABNORMAL, the system has a malfunction.

    • If the judgment result shows INCOMPLETE or N/A, perform the Confirmation Driving Pattern and check the DTC judgment result again.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

Note

Inspect the fuses of circuits related to this system before performing the following procedure.

Tech Tips

Read freeze frame data using the GTS. The ECM records vehicle and driving condition information as freeze frame data the moment a DTC is stored. When troubleshooting, freeze frame data can help determine if the vehicle was moving or stationary, 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.

PROCEDURE


  1. PERFORM ACTIVE TEST USING GTS (ACTIVATE THE EVAP PURGE VSV)


    1. B000N4SE02
      Text in Illustration
      *a VSV is on
      *b VSV is off

      Connect the GTS to the DLC3.

    2. Disconnect the fuel vapor feed hose (on the canister side) from the purge VSV.

    3. Turn the engine switch on (IG).

    4. Turn the GTS on.

    5. Start the engine.

    6. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Active Test / Activate the EVAP Purge VSV.

    7. When the purge VSV is operated using the GTS, check whether the port of the purge VSV applies suction to your finger.

      OK
      GTS Operation Specified Condition
      ON Purge VSV port applies suction to finger
      OFF Purge VSV port applies no suction to finger

      Tech Tips

      Jiggle the wire harness and connector to increase the likelihood of detecting malfunctions that do not always occur.
