SFI SYSTEM, Diagnostic DTC:P0443

DTC Code DTC Name
P0443 Evaporative Emission Control System Purge Control Valve Circuit

DESCRIPTION

To reduce hydrocarbon 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 so that the intake amount of hydrocarbon 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
P0443

Terminal voltage of ECM output circuit does not correspond with drive signals from ECM to purge VSV

(1 trip detection logic)

  • Open or short in purge VSV circuit

  • Purge VSV

  • ECM

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

Note

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

Tech Tips

Read freeze frame data using the intelligent tester. 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 INTELLIGENT TESTER (ACTIVATE THE PURGE VSV CONTROL)


    1. A005TIJE01

      Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.

    2. Disconnect the vacuum hose of the purge VSV from the charcoal canister.

    3. Start the engine.

    4. Turn the tester on.

    5. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Active Test / Activate the VSV for Evap Control.

    6. When the purge VSV is operated using the intelligent tester, check whether the disconnected hose applies suction to your finger.

      OK
      Tester Operation Specified Condition
      VSV is ON Disconnected hose applies suction to finger
      VSV is OFF Disconnected hose applies no suction to finger

    7. Reconnect the vacuum hose of the purge VSV to the charcoal canister.
