MALFUNCTION
Is DTC P0443 indicated?
YES : The failure is duplicated. Go to step 2.
NO : Intermittent failure, the system is OK at this time. Check for poor connections or loose terminals at
the EVAP canister purge valve and the PCM.
2. Determine possible failure area (EVAP canister purge valve stuck open failure, EVAP canister purge
valve stuck closed failure):
ο‘
1. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0), and allow the engine to cool below 140 Β°F (60 Β°C).
ο‘
2. Disconnect the vacuum hose (A) from the EVAP canister purge valve (B) in the engine
compartment, then connect a vacuum pump/gauge, 0-30 inHg, to the EVAP canister purge valve.

Is there continuity?
YES : Repair a short in the PC SOL wire between the PCM (B3) and the EVAP canister purge valve,
then do the repair verification .
NO : The PC SOL wire is OK. Update the PCM See PCM REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION or
PCM UPDATE if it does not have the latest software, or substitute a known-good PCM See PCM
REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION or PCM UPDATE , then do the repair verification .
5. Open wire check (IG1(PC SOL)/IG1(MAIN)/IG1 ACG line):
ο‘
1. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).
2. Disconnect the following connector.
ο‘
EVAP canister purge valve 2P connector
ο‘
ο‘
3. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
4. Measure the voltage between test points 1 and 2.
Test condition IG ON (II)
