P0441

P0441 - Evaporative Emission Control System Incorrect Purge Flow

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION

DTC Detection Condition:

The vapor pressure sensor, VSV for canister closed valve (CCV), VSV for pressure switching valve are used to detect abnormalities in the evaporative emission control system.

The ECM decides whether there is an abnormality in the evaporative emission control system by the vapor pressure sensor signal.

DTCs P0441 and P0446 are recorded by the ECM when evaporative emissions leak from the components within the dotted line in Fig. 1, or when there is a malfunction any where in either the VSV for EVAP, the VSV for pressure switching valve, or in the vapor pressure sensor itself.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

HINT:
- If DTC P0441, P0446, P0450 or P0451 is output after DTC P0440 or P0442 first troubleshoot DTC P0441, P0446, P0450 or P0451. If no more malfunction is detected, troubleshoot DTC P0440 or P0442 next.
- Read freeze frame data using TOYOTA hand-held tester or OBD II scan tool, as freeze frame data records the engine conditions when a malfunction is detected. When troubleshooting, it is useful for determining whether the vehicle was running or stopped, the engine was warmed up or not, the air-fuel ratio was lean or rich, etc. at the time of the malfunction.
- When the ENGINE RUN TIME in the freeze frame data is less than 200 seconds, carefully check the vapor pressure sensor.
