DTC P0440 Evaporative Emission Control System
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 P0440 is recorded by the ECM when evaporative emissions leak from the components within the dotted
line in fig. 1 below, or when the vapor pressure sensor malfunctions.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE
HINT:

If DTC P0441 (Evaporative Emission Control System Incorrect Purge Flow), P0446 (Evaporative
Emission Control System Vent Control Malfunction), P0450 (Evaporative Emission Control System
Pressure Sensor Malfunction) or P0451 is output after DTC P0440 (Evaporative Emission Control Sys-
tem Malfunction), first troubleshoot DTC P0441, P0446, P0450 or P0451. If no malfunction is detected,
troubleshoot DTC P0440 next.

Ask the customer whether, after the MIL came on, the customer found the fuel tank cap loose and tight-
ened it. Also ask the customer whether the fuel tank cap was loose when refuelling. If the fuel tank cap
was not loose, it was the cause of the DTC. If the fuel tank cap was not loose or if the customer was
not sure if it was loose, troubleshoot according to the following procedure.

Read freeze frame data using TOYOTA hand±held tester or OBD II scan tool. Because freeze frame
records the engine conditions when the malfunction is detected, when troubleshooting it is useful for
determining whether the vehicle was running or stopped, the engine warmed up or not, the air±fuel
ratio lean or rich, etc. at the time of the malfunction.

When the ENGINE RUN TIME in the freeze frame data is less than 200 seconds, carefully check the
VSV for EVAP, charcoal canister and vapor pressure sensor.

PREPARATION:
Remove the fuel tank cap.
CHECK:
Visually check the filler neck for damage.

6 Check vacuum hoses between vapor pressure sensor and VSV for vapor pres-
sure sensor, and VSV for vapor pressure sensor and charcoal canister.
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 and damage.
NG Repair or replace.
OK
7 Check hose and tube between fuel tank and charcoal canister.
CHECK:
(a) Check for proper connection of the fuel tank and fuel evap pipe, fuel evap pipe and fuel tube under
the floor, fuel tube under the floor and charcoal canister.
(b) Check the hose and tube for cracks, hole and damage.
NG Repair or replace.

(b) Turn the ignition switch ON.
CHECK:
Measure voltage between terminals PTNK and E2 of the ECM
connector.
(1) Disconnect the vacuum hose from the vapor pres-
sure sensor.
(2) Using the MITYVAC (Hand±Held Vacuum Pump),
apply vacuum 4.0 kPa (30 mmHg, 1.18 in.Hg) to the
vapor pressure sensor.
NOTICE:
The vacuum applied to the vapor pressure sensor must be
less than 66.7 kPa (500 mmHg, 19.7 in.Hg).
OK:
(1) Voltage: 2.9 ~ 3.7 V
(2) Voltage: 0.5 V or less
OK Go to step 12.

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.
DTCs P0441 and P0446 are recorded by the ECM when evaporative emissions leak from the components
within the dotted line in fig. 1 below, or when there is a malfunction in either the VSV for EVAP, the VSV for
vapor pressure sensor, or in the vapor pressure sensor itself.
