BME010200400209

DTC P0443 | Evaporative emission control system purge control valve circuit malfunction
--- | ---
DETECTION CONDITION | • PCM monitors input voltages from purge solenoid valve. If voltage at PCM terminal 4U remains low or high, PCM determines that purge solenoid valve circuit has malfunction. Diagnostic support note • This is a continuous monitor (CCM). • MIL illuminates if 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 PCM detects the above malfunction condition.
• FREEZE FRAME DATA is available.
• DTC is stored in the PCM memory.
POSSIBLE CAUSE | • Purge solenoid valve malfunction • Connector or terminal malfunction • Short to ground in wiring between purge solenoid valve terminal B and PCM terminal 4U • Open circuit in wiring between main relay and purge solenoid valve terminal A • Open circuit in wiring between purge solenoid valve terminal B and PCM terminal 4U
• Short to power circuit between purge solenoid valve terminal B and PCM terminal 4U
• PCM malfunction

Diagnostic procedure

STEP | INSPECTION | ACTION
--- | --- | ---
1 | PERFORM DTC CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE • Perform DTC CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE. (See DTC CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE [L3].) • Is same DTC present? | Yes | Go to the next step.
No | Intermittent concern exists. Go to INTERMITTENT CONCERN TROUBLESHOOTING procedure. (See INTERMITTENT CONCERN TROUBLESHOOTING [L3].)
2 | CLASSIFY OPEN CIRCUIT OR SHORT TO GROUND MALFUNCTION • Disconnect purge solenoid valve tube that is connected to intake manifold. • Connect vacuum pump to purge solenoid valve. • Pump vacuum pump several times and stop. • Wait a few seconds.
• Is vacuum maintained?
Yes
Go to Step 4.
No | Go to the next step.
3 | INSPECT PASSAGE CONTROL OF PURGE SOLENOID VALVE • Turn the ignition switch off. • Disconnect purge solenoid valve connector. • Pump vacuum pump several times and wait a few seconds. • Is vacuum maintained? | Yes | Repair or replace harness for short to ground, then go to Step 9.
No | Replace purge solenoid valve, then go to Step 9.
4 | 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 malfunction? | Yes | Repair or replace terminal, then go to Step 9.
No | Go to the next step.
5 | INSPECT PURGE SOLENOID VALVE • Perform purge solenoid valve inspection. (See PURGE SOLENOID VALVE INSPECTION [L3].) • Is purge solenoid valve normal? | Yes | Go to the next step.
No | Replace purge solenoid valve, then go to Step 9.
6 | INSPECT PURGE SOLENOID VALVE POWER SUPPLY CIRCUIT FOR OPEN CIRCUIT • Turn the ignition switch to the ON position (Engine off). • Measure 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 harness for open, then go to Step 9.
7 | INSPECT PCM CONNECTOR FOR POOR CONNECTION • Turn the ignition switch off. • Disconnect PCM connector. • Inspect for poor connection (damaged/pulled-out pins, corrosion, etc.). • Is there any malfunction? | Yes | Repair or replace terminal, then go to Step 9.
No | Go to the next step.
8 | INSPECT PURGE SOLENOID VALVE CONTROL CIRCUIT • Turn the ignition switch to the ON position (Engine off). • Measure voltage between purge solenoid valve terminal B (wiring harness-side) and body ground. • Is the voltage B+? | Yes | Repair or replace harness for short to power supply, then go to the next step.
No | Inspect for continuity between purge solenoid valve terminal B (wiring harness-side) and PCM terminal 4U (wiring harness-side). • If there is continuity, go to the next step. • If there is no continuity, repair or replace harness for open, then go to the next step.
9 | VERIFY TROUBLESHOOTING OF DTC P0443 COMPLETED • Make sure to reconnect all disconnected connectors. • Perform KOEO/KOER self-test. (See KOEO/KOER SELF-TEST PROCEDURE [L3].) • Is same DTC present? | Yes | Replace PCM, then go to the next step. (See PCM REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [L3].)
No | Go to the next step.
10 | VERIFY AFTER REPAIR PROCEDURE • Perform "After Repair Procedure". (See AFTER REPAIR PROCEDURE [L3].) • Is there any DTC present? | Yes | Go to the applicable DTC inspection. (See DTC TABLE [L3].)
No | Troubleshooting completed.
