DTC P0442 Evaporative Emission Control System Leak
Detected (Small Leak)
DTC P0455 Evaporative Emission Control System Leak
Detected (Gross Leak)
DTC P0456 Evaporative Emission Control System Leak
Detected (Very Small Leak)
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The vapor pressure sensor, canister closed valve (CCV) and pressure switching valve are used to detect
abnormalities in the evaporative 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 P0442, P0455 or P0456 is recorded by the ECM when evaporative emissions leak from the compo-
nents within the dotted line in Fig. 1 below, or when the vapor pressure sensor malfunctions.

MONITOR DESCRIPTION
A leak in the evaporative emission system prompts the ECM to set DTC P0442, P0455 or P0456.
The ECM checks for leaks in the system by introducing a high negative pressure (vacuum) from the intake
manifold by commanding the EVAP VSV open while the CCV (vent) is closed and the pressure switching
valve is open. After sufficient time has elapsed the fuel tank should have developed a high negative pressure
(vacuum) and the EVAP VSV closed. The ECM then monitors the pressure-rise (loss of vacuum) in the fuel
tank. If the pressure rises too rapidly, the ECM concludes that there is a leak in the system. The ECM will
turn on the MIL and set a DTC.
The ECM has separate DTCs for small and large leaks:
(1) DTC P0442 is set when the internal fuel tank pressure has a large increase and the EVAP system
has a small leak.
(2) DTC P0455 is set when the EVAP system has various large leaks. Even though the ECM sends
a signal to the EVAP VSV (when CCV is closed) to create a vacuum, the internal fuel tank pres-
sure does not decrease beyond a specified level.
(3) DTC P0456 is set when the internal fuel tank pressure increase slightly and the EVAP system
has a small leak.
