2NZ-FE ENGINE CONTROL SFI SYSTEM P0443 Evaporative Emission Control System Purge Control Valve Circuit
DESCRIPTION
To reduce hydrocarbon (HC) emissions, evaporated fuel from the fuel tank is routed through a charcoal canister to the intake manifold for combustion in the cylinders.
The ECM changes the duty signals to the purge VSV (Vacuum Switching Valve for Purge Control) so that the intake amount of hydrocarbon (HC) emissions is appropriate for the driving conditions (engine load, engine speed, vehicle speed, etc.) after the engine is warmed up.
DTC No. | Detection Item | DTC Detection Condition | Trouble Area | MIL | Memory |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
P0443 | Evaporative Emission Control System Purge Control Valve Circuit | Both of the following conditions (a) and (b) are met (1 trip detection logic)
(a) The target control value and actual control value do not match for 10 seconds or more. (b) The target control value and actual control value do not match for 80 times or more. |

CONFIRMATION DRIVING PATTERN

Connect the GTS to the DLC3.
Turn the ignition switch to ON and turn the GTS on.
Clear the DTCs (even if no DTCs are stored, perform the clear DTC procedure).
Turn the ignition switch off and wait for at least 30 seconds.
Turn the ignition switch to ON and turn the GTS on.
Start the engine and warm it up until the engine coolant temperature is 75°C (167°F) or higher [A].
- HINT:
-
The A/C switch and all accessory switches should be off.
Idle the engine for 15 minutes or more [B].
- HINT:
-
Check the EVAP (Purge) VSV item in the Data List. When the value of this item is between 5 and 95%, the judgment will be performed.
Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Trouble Codes [C].
Read the pending DTCs.
- HINT:
- ·
If a pending DTC is output, the system is malfunctioning.
·If a pending DTC is not output, perform the following procedure.
Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Utility / All Readiness.
Input the DTC: P0443.
Check the DTC judgment result.
GTS Display | Description |
---|---|
NORMAL | ·
DTC judgment completed ·
System normal |
ABNORMAL | ·
DTC judgment completed ·
System abnormal |
INCOMPLETE | ·
DTC judgment not completed ·
Perform driving pattern after confirming DTC enabling conditions |
N/A | ·
Unable to perform DTC judgment ·
Number of DTCs which do not fulfill DTC preconditions has reached ECU memory limit |
- HINT:
- ·
If the judgment result shows NORMAL, the system is normal.
·If the judgment result shows ABNORMAL, the system has a malfunction.
·If the judgment result shows INCOMPLETE or N/A, perform steps [D] and [E].
Drive the vehicle at a constant speed between 40 and 60 km/h (25 and 37 mph) for 10 minutes or more [D].
- CAUTION:
-
When performing the confirmation driving pattern, obey all speed limits and traffic laws.
Check the DTC judgment result again [E].
WIRING DIAGRAM

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT
- NOTICE:
-
Inspect the fuses for circuits related to this system before performing the following procedure.
- HINT:
-
Read freeze frame data using the GTS. The ECM records vehicle and driving condition information as freeze frame data the moment a DTC is stored. When troubleshooting, freeze frame data can help determine if the vehicle was moving or stationary, if the engine was warmed up or not, if the air fuel ratio was lean or rich, and other data from the time the malfunction occurred.
PROCEDURE

Disconnect the fuel vapor feed hose (charcoal canister side) of the purge VSV.
Connect the GTS to the DLC3.
Start the engine.
Turn the GTS on.
Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Active Test / Activate the VSV for Evap Control.
- Powertrain > Engine and ECT > Active Test
-
Tester Display Activate the VSV for Evap Control - 50004 234 6
When the purge VSV is operated using the GTS, check whether the port of the purge VSV applies suction your finger.
- OK:
GTS Operation Specified Condition ON Purge VSV port applies suction to finger OFF Purge VSV port applies no suction to finger
