MONITOR DESCRIPTION
P0441
The ECM checks for a stuck closed malfunction in the EVAP VSV by commanding it to open with the CCV
closed. If a high negative pressure does not develop in the fuel tank, the ECM determines that the EVAP
VSV remains closed. The ECM turns on the MIL and a DTC is set.
The ECM checks for EVAP VSV ºstuck openº fault by commanding both valves (EVAP VSV and CCV) to
close at a time when the fuel tank is at atmospheric pressure. If the fuel tank develops a high negative pres-
sure at this early stage of the test, the ECM determines that the EVAP VSV is stuck OPEN.
The ECM will turn on the MIL and a DTC is set.
P0446
The ECM checks the CCV ºstuck closedº by commanding the CCV to open after the EVAP leak test. If the
fuel tank pressure does not rise (lose vacuum), the ECM determines that the CCV is stuck closed. The ECM
will turn on the MIL and a DTC is set.
If the EVAP VSV ºstuck closedº is detected, the ECM determines that the CCV is ºstuck openº. The ECM
turns on the MIL and a DTC is set.
P2418
The ECM checks the pressure switching valve (bypass VSV) ºstuck openº by commanding the pressure
switching valve to close after the EVAP leak test. If the fuel tank pressure does not change, the ECM deter-
mines that the pressure switching valve is malfunctioning. The ECM will turn on the MIL and a DTC is set.
If the EVAP VSV ºstuck closedº is detected, the ECM determines that the CCV is ºstuck closedº. The ECM
turns on the MIL and a DTC is set.

MONITOR RESULT
The detailed information is described in CHECKING MONITOR STATUSº (see page DI-3).
TID (Test Identification) is assigned to each emission-related component.
TLT (Test Limit Type):
If TLT is 0, the component is malfunctioning when the test value is higher than the test limit.
If TLT is 1, the component is malfunctioning when the test value is lower than the test limit.
CID (Component Identification) is assigned to each test value.
Unit Conversion is used to calculate the test value indicated on generic OBD scan tools.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE
HINT:
If DTC P0441 (Purge Flow), P0446 (CCV) or P2418 (Pressure switching valve) or P0451 (Evaporative
Pressure Sensor) is output with DTC P0442, P0455 or P0456, first troubleshoot DTC P0441, P0446
or P0451. If no malfunction is detected, troubleshoot DTC P0442, P0455 or P0456 next.
Read freeze frame data using the hand-held tester or the OBD II scan tool. Freeze frame data records
the engine conditions when a malfunction is detected. When troubleshooting, freeze frame data can
help determine if the vehicle was running or stopped, 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.
When the ENGINE RUN TIME in the freeze frame data is less than 200 seconds, carefully check the
vapor pressure sensor.
Hand-held tester:
1 Check that fuel tank cap meets OEM specifications.
NG Replace with a cap that meets OEM specifica-
tions.
OK
2 Check that fuel tank cap is correctly installed.
NG Correctly install fuel tank cap.
OK
3 Check fuel tank cap (See page EC-5).
NG Replace fuel tank cap.
OK
