6E1-38 ENGINE AND EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM
3) Connect purge hose to EVAP canister and warm up engine
to normal operating temperature.
4) Disconnect purge hose from EVAP canister.
5) Also check that vacuum is felt when engine is running at idle
speed.
If check result is not satisfactory, check vacuum passage,
hoses, EVAP canister purge valve, wire harness and ECM.
VACUUM PASSAGE INSPECTION
Start engine and run it at idle speed. Disconnect vacuum hose (1)
from EVAP canister purge valve (2). With finger placed against
hose disconnected, check that vacuum is applied.
If it is not applied, clean vacuum passage by blowing compressed
air.
VACUUM HOSE INSPECTION
Check hoses for connection, leakage, clog and deterioration.
Replace as necessary.
EVAP CANISTER PURGE VALVE INSPECTION
Check EVAP canister purge valve referring to step 1 of DTC
P0443 Flow Table.
If found malfunction, replace.NOTE:
The EVAP canister purge system does not perform purg-
ing (vacuum is not detected at the purge hose) unless the
engine is sufficiently warmed up and the heated oxygen
sensor is activated fully. Also, when the purge hose is
disconnected in Step 4), the air is drawn into the purge
line. As a result, ECM detects a change in the purge gas
concentration and sometimes stops purging but this
indicates nothing abnormal.
