P0443

Diagnostic Chart:

Wiring Diagram:

The evaporative system draws stored fuel vapors from the charcoal canister. The canister purge solenoid is used to control the flow of vapors from the canister to the intake manifold. The PCM controls the solenoid with a pulse width modulated (PWM) signal. The PCM uses a generic field effect transistor driver (GFD) to control the solenoid's ground when certain conditions have been met. The GFD driver has the capability to diagnose if the circuit has opened or shorted.

DTC PARAMETERS
DTC P0443 will set if the feedback signal voltage is:
^ Above 0.3 volts when the solenoid is commanded on, or
^ Below 7.0 volts when the solenoid is commanded Off.

DIAGNOSTIC AIDS
^ An intermittent open or short in the harness will result in a P0443. Intermittent conditions can be detected by using a Scan tool and observing the Purge Feedback status. The status should be High when solenoid is commanded Off and Low when the solenoid is commanded On.
^ Solenoid resistance 19 - 31 ohms.
^ Check 10 amp EGR fuse in UHJB.
