DTC P0442 EVAP CONTROL SYSTEM
Revision: 2006 December 2006 FX35/FX45
DTC P0442 EVAP CONTROL SYSTEMPFP:14950
On Board Diagnosis LogicNBS003QX
This diagnosis detects leaks in the EVAP purge line using engine intake manifold vacuum.
If pressure does not increase, the ECM will check for leaks in the line between the fuel tank and EVAP canister
purge volume control solenoid valve, under the following Vacuum test conditions.
The EVAP canister vent control valve is closed to shut the EVAP purge line off. The EVAP canister purge vol-
ume control solenoid valve will then be opened to depressurize the EVAP purge line using intake manifold
vacuum. After this occurs, the EVAP canister purge volume control solenoid valve will be closed.
DTC No. Trouble diagnosis name DTC detecting condition Possible cause
