| DTC Code | DTC Name |
|---|---|
| P0443 | Evaporative Emission Control System Purge Control Valve Circuit |
DESCRIPTION
To reduce hydrocarbon emissions, fuel vapor 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 assembly) 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 | All of the following conditions (a) and (b) are met (1 trip detection logic) (a) The target control value and actual control value do not match for 10 seconds or more. (b) The target control value and actual control value are detected 80 time or more. |

CONFIRMATION DRIVING PATTERN
Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.
Turn the ignition switch to ON and turn the intelligent tester on.
Clear the DTCs (even if no DTCs are stored, perform the clear DTC operation).
Turn the ignition switch off and wait for at least 30 seconds.
Turn the ignition switch to ON and turn the intelligent tester on.
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.
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.
Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / DTC [C].
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.
Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Utility / All Readiness.
Input the DTC: P0443.
Check the DTC judgment result.
| Tester Display | Description |
|---|---|
| NORMAL |
|
| ABNORMAL |
|
| INCOMPLETE |
|
| UNKNOWN |
|
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 UNKNOWN, perform steps [D] and [E].
Drive the vehicle at a constant speed between 40 and 60 km/h (25 and 38 mph) for 10 minutes [D].
CAUTION:
When performing the confirmation driving pattern, obey all speed limits and traffic laws.
Check the DTC judgment result [E].

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT
Note
Inspect the fuse for circuits related to this system before performing the following inspection procedure.
Tech Tips
Read freeze frame data using the intelligent tester. Freeze frame data records the engine conditions when malfunctions are detected. 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
PERFORM ACTIVE TEST USING INTELLIGENT TESTER (ACTIVATE THE PURGE VSV CONTROL)
| *a | VSV is on |
| *b | VSV is off |
Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.
Disconnect the charcoal canister side vacuum hose from the purge VSV from the charcoal canister.
Start the engine.
Turn the tester on.
Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Active Test / Activate the VSV for Evap Control.
When the purge VSV is operated using the intelligent tester, check whether the port of the purge VSV applies suction to your finger.
