LUME CONTROL SOLENOID VALVE
DTC P0443 EVAP CANISTER PURGE VOLUME CONTROL SOLENOID
VA LV E
DescriptionINFOID:0000000001326169
SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
*1: ECM determines the start signal status by the signals of engine speed and battery voltage.
*2: This signal is sent to the ECM through CAN communication line.
This system controls flow rate of fuel vapor from the EVAP canister. The opening of the vapor by-pass pas-
sage in the EVAP canister purge volume control sol enoid valve changes to control the flow rate. The EVAP
canister purge volume control solenoid valve repeats ON/O FF operation according to the signal sent from the
ECM. The opening of the valve varies for optimum engi ne control. The optimum value stored in the ECM is
determined by considering various engine conditions. When t he engine is operating, the flow rate of fuel vapor
from the EVAP canister is r egulated as the air flow changes.
COMPONENT DESCRIPTION
The EVAP canister purge volume control solenoid valve uses a ON/
OFF duty to control the flow rate of fuel vapor from the EVAP canis-
ter. The EVAP canister purge volume control solenoid valve is
moved by ON/OFF pulses from the ECM. The longer the ON pulse,
the greater the amount of fuel vapor that will flow through the valve.

FUEL SYSTEM
Checking Fuel LineINFOID:0000000001327104
Inspect fuel lines, fuel filler cap and fuel tank for improper attach-
ment, leaks, cracks, damage, loos
e connections, chafing or deterio-
ration.
If necessary, repair or replace damaged parts.
General PrecautionINFOID:0000000001327105
WARNING:
When replacing fuel line parts, be sure to observe the following.
• Put a “CAUTION: FLAMMABLE” sign in the workshop.
 Be sure to work in a well ventila ted area and furnish workshop with a CO
2 fire extinguisher.
 Do not smoke while servicing fuel system. Keep open flames and sparks away from the work area.
CAUTION:
 Use gasoline required by the regulations for octane number. Refer to GI-5, "
Precaution for Fuel
(Unleaded Premium Gasoline Recommended)".
 Before removing fuel line parts, carry out the following procedures:
- Put drained fuel in an explosion-proof containe r and put the lid on securely. Keep the container in
safe area.
- Release fuel pressure from th e fuel lines. Refer to EC-87, "
Fuel Pressure Check" (VQ35DE) or EC-
665, "Fuel Pressure Check" (VK45DE).
- Disconnect negative battery terminal.
 Always replace O-ring and clamps with new ones.
 Do not kink or twist tubes when they are being installed.
 Do not tighten hose clamps excessi vely to avoid damaging hoses.
 After connecting fuel tube qu ick connectors, make sure quick
connectors are secure.
Ensure that connector and resin tube do not contact any adja-
cent parts.
 After installing tubes, make su re there is no fuel leakage at
connections in the following steps.
- Apply fuel pressure to fuel li nes with turning ignition switch
“ON” (with engine stopped). Th en check for fuel leaks at con-
nections.
- Start engine and rev it up and check for fuel leaks at connec- tions.
 Use only a genuine NISSAN fuel filler cap as a replacement. If
an incorrect fuel filler cap is used, the “MIL” may come on.
 For servicing “Evaporative Emi ssion System” parts, refer to
EC-40, "
Description" (VQ35DE) or EC-618, "Description"
(VK45DE).
 For servicing“On Board Refueling Vapor Recovery (ORVR)”
parts, refer to EC-46, "
System Description" (VQ35DE) or EC-
624, "System Description" (VK45DE).
