DTC P0443

EVAP control system purge control valve circuit malfunction

DETECTION CONDITION

• PCM monitors the input voltages from the purge solenoid valve. If the voltage remains low or high, the PCM determines that the purge solenoid valve circuit has a malfunction.
Diagnostic support note
• This is an continuous monitor (CCM).
• MIL illuminates if the PCM detects the above malfunction condition in two consecutive drive cycles or in one drive cycle while the DTC for the same malfunction has been stored in the PCM.
• PENDING CODE is available if the PCM detects the above malfunction condition during the first drive cycle.
• FREEZE FRAME DATA is available.
• DTCs are stored in the PCM memory.

POSSIBLE CAUSE

• Purge solenoid valve malfunction
• Connector or terminal malfunction
• Short to ground in the wiring harness between purge solenoid valve terminal B and PCM terminal 4T
• Open circuit in the wiring harness between the main relay and purge solenoid valve terminal A
• Open circuit in the wiring harness between purge solenoid valve terminal B and PCM terminal 4T
• Short to the power supply between purge solenoid valve terminal B and PCM terminal 4T
• PCM malfunction

Diagnostic procedure

STEP

INSPECTION

ACTION

1
VERIFY FREEZE FRAME DATA AND DIAGNOSTIC MONITORING TEST RESULTS HAS BEEN RECORDED
• Has FREEZE FRAME DATA been recorded?
Yes
Go to the next step.
No
Record the FREEZE FRAME DATA on the repair order, then go to the next step.
2
VERIFY RELATED REPAIR INFORMATION AVAILABILITY
• Verify related Service Information availability.
• Is any related Service Information available?
Yes
Perform repair or diagnosis according to the available Service information.
If the vehicle is not repaired, go to the next step.
No
Go to the next step.
3
CLASSIFY OPEN CIRCUIT OR SHORT TO GROUND MALFUNCTION
• Disconnect the purge solenoid valve tube that is connected to the intake manifold.
• Connect the vacuum pump to the purge solenoid valve.
• Pump the vacuum pump several times and stop.
• Wait a few seconds.
• Is the vacuum maintained?
Yes
Go to Step 5.
No
Go to the next step.
4
INSPECT PASSAGE CONTROL OF PURGE SOLENOID VALVE
• Turn the ignition switch off.
• Disconnect the purge solenoid valve connector.
• Pump the vacuum pump several times and wait a few seconds.
• Is the vacuum maintained?
Yes
Repair or replace the wiring harness for a short to ground, then go to Step 10.
No
Replace the purge solenoid valve, then go to Step 10.
5
INSPECT PURGE SOLENOID VALVE CONNECTOR FOR POOR CONNECTION
• Turn the ignition switch off.
• Inspect for poor connection (damaged/pulled-out pins, corrosion, etc.).
• Is there any malfunction?
Yes
Repair or replace the terminal, then go to Step 10.
No
Go to the next step.
6
INSPECT PURGE SOLENOID VALVE
• Perform the purge solenoid valve inspection.
• Is the purge solenoid valve normal?
Yes
Go to the next step.
No
Replace the purge solenoid valve, then go to Step 10.
7
INSPECT PURGE SOLENOID VALVE POWER SUPPLY CIRCUIT FOR OPEN CIRCUIT
• Turn ignition switch to the ON position (Engine off).
• Measure the voltage between purge solenoid valve connector terminal A and body ground.
• Is the voltage B+?
Yes
Go to the next step.
No
Repair or replace the wiring harness for an open circuit, then go to Step 10.
8
INSPECT PCM CONNECTOR FOR POOR CONNECTION
• Turn the ignition switch off.
• Disconnect the PCM connector.
• Inspect for poor connection (damaged/pulled-out pins, corrosion, etc.).
• Is there any malfunction?
Yes
Repair or replace the terminal, then go to Step 10.
No
Go to the next step.
9
INSPECT PURGE SOLENOID VALVE CONTROL CIRCUIT
• Turn ignition switch to the ON position (Engine off).
• Measure voltage between purge solenoid valve terminal B (harness-side) and body ground.
• Is the voltage B+?
Yes
Repair or replace the wiring harness for a short to power supply, then go to the next step.
No
Inspect for continuity between purge solenoid valve terminal B (harness-side) and PCM terminal 4T (harness-side).
• If there is continuity, go to the next step.
• If there is no continuity, repair or replace the wiring harness for an open circuit, then go to the next step.
10
VERIFY TROUBLESHOOTING OF DTC P0443 COMPLETED
• Make sure to reconnect all disconnected connectors.
• Clear the DTC from the PCM memory using the WDS or equivalent.
• Turn the ignition switch off.
• Start the engine and warm it up completely.
• Is the PENDING CODE for this DTC present?
Yes
Replace PCM, then go to the next step.
No
Go to the next step.
11
VERIFY AFTER REPAIR PROCEDURE
• Perform the "After Repair Procedure".
• Are any DTCs present?
Yes
Go to the applicable DTC inspection.
No
Troubleshooting completed.
