INSPECTION PROCEDURE
HINT:
If DTC P0441, P0446 or P0450 is output after DTC P0440, first troubleshoot DTC P0441, P0446 or P0450.
If no malfunction is detected, troubleshoot DTC P0440 next.

1 Check the VSV connector for EVAP, VSV connector for vapor pressure sensor
and vapor pressure sensor connector for looseness and disconnection.
NG Repair or connect the VSV or sensor connector.
OK
2 Check the vacuum hose between intake manifold and VSV for EVAP,VSV for
EVAP and charcoal canister, charcoal canister and VSV for vapor pressure sen-
sor, and VSV for vapor pressure sensor and vapor pressure sensor.
CHECK:
(a) Check that the vacuum hose is connected correctly.
(b) Check the vacuum hose for looseness and disconnection.
(c) Check the vacuum hose for cracks, hole, damage, and blockage.
NG Repair or replace.

DTC P0450 Evaporative Emission Control System
Pressure Sensor Malfunction
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The vapor pressure sensor and VSV for vapor pressure sensor are used to detect abnormalities in the evap-
orative emission control system.
The ECM decides whether there is an abnormality in the evaporative emission control system based on the
vapor pressure sensor signal.
DTC P0450 is recorded by the ECM when the vapor pressure sensor malfunction.

DTC P1300 Igniter Circuit Malfunction
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
This ECM determines the ignition timing, turns on Tr1 at a predetermined angle (°CA) before the desired
ignition timing and outputs an ignition signal (IGT) ”1” to the igniter.
Since the width of the IGT signal is constant, the dwell angle control circuit in the igniter determines the time
the control circuit starts primary current flow to the ignition coil based on the engine rpm and ignition timing
one revolution ago, that is, the time the Tr
2 turns on.
When it reaches the ignition timing, the ECM turns Tr
1 off and outputs the IGT signal ”O”.
This turns Tr
2 off, interrupting the primary current flow and generating a high voltage in the secondary coil
which causes the spark plug to spark. Also, by the counter electromotive force generated when the primary
current is interrupted, the igniter sends an ignition confirmation signal (IGF) to the ECM.
The ECM stops fuel injection as a fail safe function when the IGF signal is not input to the ECM.

DTC P1500 Starter Signal Circuit Malfunction
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
When the engine is cranked, the intake air flow is slow, so fuel vaporization is poor. A rich mixture is therefore
necessary in order to achieve good startability. While the engine is being cranked, the battery positive volt-
age is applied to terminal STA of the ECM. The starter signal is mainly used to increase the fuel injection
volume for the starting injection control and after−start injection control.
WIRING DIAGRAM
INSPECTION PROCEDURE
HINT:
This diagnostic chart is based on the premise that the engine is cranked normally. If the engine is not
cranked, proceed to the matrix chart of problem symptoms on page DI−20.
