Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) P0440 EVAP System
060RY00398
Circuit Description
The evaporative system includes the following
components:

Fuel tank

EVAP canister purge duty solenoid valve

Fuel tank (vapor) pressure sensor

Fuel pipes and hoses

Vapor lines

Fuel cap

Evaporative emissions canister

Purge lines

EVAP canister vent valve (purge solenoid)
The evaporative leak detection diagnostic strategy is
based on applying vacuum to the EVAP system and
monitoring vacuum decay. The powertrain control
module (PCM) monitors vacuum level via the fuel tank
pressure sensor input. At an appropriate time, the EVAP
canister purge solenoid and the EVAP canister vent
solenoid are turned ªONº, allowing engine vacuum to
draw a small vacuum on the entire evaporative emissions
system. If a sufficient vacuum level cannot be achieved, a
large leak or a faulty EVAP canister purge solenoid is
indicated. This can be caused by the following conditions:

Disconnected or faulty fuel tank pressure sensor

Missing or faulty fuel cap

Disconnected, damaged, pinched, or blocked EVAP
purge line

Disconnected or damaged EVAP vent hose
Disconnected, damaged, pinched, or blocked fuel tank
vapor line

Disconnected or faulty EVAP canister duty solenoid

Open ignition feed circuit to the EVAP canister vent
solenoid

Damaged EVAP canister

Leaking fuel sender assembly O-ring

Leaking fuel tank or fuel filler neck
Any of the above conditions can set DTC P0440.
Conditions for Setting the DTC

No TP sensor, IAT sensor, ECT sensor, or MAP sensor
DTCs set.

Start-up engine coolant temperature is less than 32
C
(90
F).

Start-up engine coolant temperature is not more than
7
C (13
F) greater than start-up intake air
temperature.

Start-up intake air temperature is greater than 4
C
(39
F) .

Start-up intake air temperature is not more than 2
C
(4
F) greater than start-up engine coolant
temperature.

Vehicle speed is less than 5 mph (8 km/h).

Throttle position is greater than 3%.

Minimal fuel slosh.

BARO is greater than 70 kPa.

The EVAP system is unable to achieve or maintain
vacuum during the diagnostic test.

6E±319
6VE1 3.5L ENGINE DRIVEABILITY AND EMISSIONS

Engine speed is less than 1200 RPM.

Above conditions are present for 60 to 180 seconds.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets

The PCM will ON the MIL after second trip with
detected the fault.

The PCM will store conditions which were present
when the DTC set as Freeze Frame and in the Failure
Records data.
Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC

The PCM will turn the MIL ªOFFº when the diagnostic
has been run and the fault condition is no longer
present.

A history DTC P0440 will clear after 40 consecutive
warm-up cycles have occurred without a fault.

DTC P0440 can be cleared by using the Tech 2 ªClear
Infoº function or by disconnecting the PCM battery
feed.
Diagnostic Aids
Check for the following conditions:

Cracked or punctured EVAP canister.

Damaged or disconnected source vacuum line, EVAP
purge line, vent hose or fuel tank vapor line.

Poor connection at PCM ± Inspect harness connectors
for backed-out terminals, improper mating, broken
locks, improperly formed or damaged terminals, and
poor terminal to wire connection.

Damaged harness±Inspect the wiring harness to the
EVAP canister vent solenoid, EVAP canister purge
solenoid and the fuel tank pressure sensor for an
intermittent open or short circuit.

Kinked, pinched, or plugged vacuum source, EVAP
purge, or fuel tank vapor line±Verify that the lines are
not restricted.Reviewing the Failure Records vehicle mileage since the
diagnostic test last failed may help determine how often
the condition that caused the DTC to be set occurs. This
may assist in diagnosing the condition.
Test Description
Number(s) below refer to the step number(s) on the
Diagnostic Chart.
2. If an EVAP canister vent solenoid or an EVAP
canister purge solenoid electrical fault is present,
the purge system will not operate correctly.
Repairing the electrical fault will very likely correct
the condition that set DTC P0440.
3. Checks the fuel tank pressure sensor at ambient
pressure.
4. Determines whether or not the EVAP system can be
sealed sufficiently to be pressurized. If not, the
large leak must be located and corrected before
continuing with diagnosis.
5. Verifies that the fuel tank pressure sensor accurately
reacts to EVAP system pressure changes.
8. Checks for a blocked EVAP canister purge solenoid.
The PCM commands the EVAP canister purge
solenoid ªOFFº (open) and the vent solenoid ªONº
(closed) with the Tech 2 ªSystem Perfº, EVAP
output control function activated. Any pressure in
the system should be released through the EVAP
canister purge solenoid within a few seconds when
ªSystem Perfº, is activated.
9. Ensures that sufficient source vacuum is present at
the EVAP canister purge solenoid.
