EVAP System
EVAP SystemRELATED DTCS
If any EVAP system DTCs are set, the malfunctioning area can be determined using the table given.
NOTE: If the reference pressure difference between the first and second checks is greater than the specification, all the DTCs relating to the reference pressure (P043E, P043F, P2401, P2402 and P2419) are stored.
DESCRIPTION
NOTE: The canister is located near the fuel tank, underneath the body.
NOTE: In this vehicle's EVAP system, turning ON the vent valve does not seal off the EVAP system. To check for leaks in the EVAP system, disconnect the air inlet vent hose and apply pressure from the atmosphere side of the canister.
While the engine is running, if a predetermined condition (closed-loop, etc. ) is met, the purge VSV is opened by the ECM and stored fuel vapors in the canister are purged into the intake manifold. The ECM changes the duty cycle ratio of the purge VSV to control purge flow volume.
The purge flow volume is also determined by the intake manifold pressure. Atmospheric pressure is allowed into the canister through the vent valve to ensure that the purge flow is maintained when the negative pressure (vacuum) is applied to the canister.
The given 2 monitors run to confirm appropriate EVAP system operation.
1. Key-off monitor
This monitor checks for EVAP (Evaporative Emission) system leaks and canister pump module malfunctions. The monitor starts 5 hours* after the engine switch is turned off. More than 5 hours are required for the fuel to cool down to stabilize the EVAP pressure, thus making the EVAP system monitor more accurate.
The leak detection pump creates negative pressure (vacuum) in the EVAP system and the pressure is measured. Finally, the ECM monitors for leaks from the EVAP system, and malfunctions in both the canister pump module and purge VSV, based on the EVAP pressure.
HINT: *: If the engine coolant temperature is not below 35 °C (95 °F) 5 hours after the engine switch is turned off, the monitor check starts 2 hours later. If it is still not below 35 °C (95 °F) 7 hours after the engine switch is turned off, the monitor check starts 2.5 hours later.
2. Purge flow monitor
The purge flow monitor consists of the 2 monitors. The 1st monitor is conducted every time and the 2nd monitor is activated if necessary.
- The 1st monitor
While the engine is running and the purge VSV (Vacuum Switching Valve) is ON (open), the ECM monitors the purge flow by measuring the EVAP pressure change. If negative pressure is not created, the ECM begins the 2nd monitor.
- The 2nd monitor
The vent valve is turned OFF (open) and the EVAP pressure is measured. If the variation in the pressure is less than 0.5 kPa-g (2.75 mmHg-g), the ECM interprets this as the purge VSV being stuck closed, illuminates the MIL and sets DTC P0441 (2 trip detection logic).
Atmospheric pressure check:
In order to ensure reliable malfunction detection, the variation between the atmospheric pressures, before and after conduction of the purge flow monitor, is measured by the ECM.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE
NOTE: The intelligent tester is required to conduct the given diagnostic troubleshooting procedure.
HINT:
- Using the intelligent tester monitor results enables the EVAP (Evaporative Emission) system to be confirmed.
- Read freeze frame data using the intelligent tester. Freeze frame data records the engine condition when malfunctions are detected. When troubleshooting, freeze frame data can help determine if the vehicle was moving or stationary, if the engine was warmed up or not, if the air-fuel ratio was lean or rich, and other data from the time the malfunction occurred.
CONFIRMATION DRIVING PATTERN
HINT: After a repair, check the Monitor Status by performing the Key-Off Monitor Confirmation and Purge Flow Monitor Confirmation described.
1. Key-off monitor confirmation
a. Preconditions
The monitor will not run unless:
- The vehicle has been driven for 10 minutes or more (in a city area or on a freeway)
- The fuel tank is less than 90% full
- The altitude is less than 8,000 ft (2,400 m)
- The Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) is between 4.4 °C and 35 °C (40 °F and 95 °F)
- The Intake Air Temperature (IAT) is between 4.4 °C and 35 °C (40 °F and 95 °F)
- The vehicle remains stationary (the vehicle speed is 0 mph [0 km/h])
b. Monitor Conditions
1. Allow the engine to idle for at least 5 minutes.
2. Turn the engine switch off and wait for 6 hours (8 or 10.5 hours).
HINT: Do not start the engine until checking MONITOR STATUS. If the engine is started, the steps described must be repeated.
c. Monitor Status
1. Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC2.
2. Turn the engine switch on (IG) and turn the tester ON.
3. Enter the given menus: DIAGNOSIS / ENHANCED OBD II / MONITOR STATUS.
4. Check the Monitor Status displayed on the tester.
HINT: If INCMP is displayed, the monitor is not completed. Make sure that the preconditions have been met, and perform the Monitor Conditions again.
2. Purge flow monitor confirmation (P0441)
HINT: Perform this monitor confirmation after the Key-Off Monitor Confirmation shows COMPL (complete).
a. Preconditions
The monitor will not run unless:
- The vehicle has been driven for 10 minutes or more (in a city area or on a freeway)
- The ECT is between 4.4 °C and 35 °C (40 °F and 95 °F)
- The IAT is between 4.4 °C and 35 °C (40 °F and 95 °F)
b. Monitor Conditions
1. Release the pressure from the fuel tank by removing and reinstalling the fuel cap.
2. Warm the engine up until the ECT reaches more than 75 °C (167 °F).
3. Increase the engine speed to 3,000 rpm once.
4. Allow the engine to idle and turn A/C ON for 1 minute.
c. Monitor Status
1. Turn the engine switch off (if ON or the engine is running).
2. Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC2.
