P0443 EVAP CANISTER PURGE VOLU

DescriptionINFOID:0000000005149242
SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
*1: ECM determines the start signal status by the signals of engine speed and battery voltage.
*2: This signal is sent to the ECM through CAN communication line.
This system controls flow rate of fuel vapor from the EVAP canister. The opening of the vapor by-pass pas-
sage in the EVAP canister purge volume control solenoi d valve changes to control the flow rate. The EVAP
canister purge volume control solenoid valve repeats ON/OFF operation according to the signal sent from the
ECM. The opening of the valve varies for optimum engi ne control. The optimum value stored in the ECM is
determined by considering various engine conditions. When t he engine is operating, the flow rate of fuel vapor
from the EVAP canister is regulated as the air flow changes.
COMPONENT DESCRIPTION
The EVAP canister purge volume control solenoid valve uses a ON/
OFF duty to control the flow rate of fuel vapor from the EVAP canis-
ter. The EVAP canister purge volume control solenoid valve is
moved by ON/OFF pulses from the ECM. The longer the ON pulse,
the greater the amount of fuel vapor that will flow through the valve.

The canister purge flow is detected during the
vehicle is stopped while the the engine is run-
ning, even when EVAP canister purge volume
control solenoid valve is completely closed. • EVAP control system pressure sensor
• EVAP canister purge volume control so-
lenoid valve
(The valve is stuck open.)
• EVAP canister vent control valve
• EVAP canister
• Hoses (Hoses are connected incorrectly or
clogged.)
B)
The canister purge flow is detected during the
specified driving conditions, even when EVAP
canister purge volume control solenoid valve
is completely closed.

ENGINE MAINTENANCE
• Check if the engine coolant reservoir tank level is within MIN toMAX level when engine is cool.
• Adjust engine coolant level as necessary.
CHECKING COOLING SYSTEM FOR LEAKS
WARNING:
Never remove the radiator or reservoir cap when th e engine is hot. Serious burns could occur from
high-pressure engine coolant escaping from the radiator or reservoir.
• To check for leakage, apply pressure to the cooling system at the
reservoir filler neck using suitable tool and Tool.
CAUTION:
Higher pressure than specified may cause radiator damage.
NOTE:
In case that engine coolant decreases, replenish cooling system
with engine coolant.
• If any concerns are found, repair or replace damaged parts.
CHECKING RESERVOIR CAP
• Check reservoir cap relief pressure using suitable tool and Tool.
NOTE:
Apply engine coolant to the cap seal.
• Replace the reservoir cap if there is any damage in the negative- pressure valve, or if the open-valve pressure is outside of the limit.
CHECKING RADIATOR CAP
Inspect the radiator cap.
NOTE:
Thoroughly wipe out the radiator filler neck to remove any waxy resi-
due or foreign material.
• Replace the cap if the metal plunger cannot be seen around theedge of the black rubber gasket.
• Replace the cap if deposits of waxy residue or other foreign mate- rial are on the black rubber gasket or the metal retainer.
