DTC Confirmation ProcedureNBEC0317CAUTION:
Never remove fuel filler cap during the DTC confirmation pro-
cedure.
NOTE:
IIf DTC P1441 is displayed with P0440, perform TROUBLE
DIAGNOSIS FOR DTC P1441 first.
IIf ªDIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE CONFIRMATION PRO-
CEDUREº has been previously conducted, always turn
ignition switch ªOFFº and wait at least 5 seconds before
conducting the next test.
IAfter repair, make sure that the hoses and clips are
installed properly.
TESTING CONDITION:
IOpen engine hood before conducting following proce-
dure.
IIf any of following condition is met just before the DTC
confirmation procedure, leave the vehicle for more than 1
hour.
a)Fuel filler cap is removed.
b)Refilled or drained the fuel.
c)EVAP component parts is/are removed.
IBefore performing the following procedure, confirm that
battery voltage is more than 11V at idle.
With CONSULT-II
1) Turn ignition switch ªONº and select ªDATA MONITORº mode
with CONSULT-II.
2) Make sure the following conditions are met.
FUEL LEVEL SE: 1.08 - 0.2V
COOLAN TEMP/S: 0 - 32ÉC (32 - 90ÉF)
FUEL T/TMP SE: 0 - 35ÉC (32 - 95ÉF)
INT A/TEMP SE: More than 0ÉC (32ÉF)

This system controls flow rate of fuel vapor from the EVAP canis-
ter. The opening of the vapor by-pass passage in the EVAP canis-
ter purge volume control solenoid valve changes to control the flow
rate. The EVAP canister purge volume control solenoid valve
repeats ON/OFF operation according to the signal sent from the
ECM. The opening of the valve varies for optimum engine control.
The optimum value stored in the ECM is determined by consider-
ing various engine conditions. When the engine is operating, the
flow rate of fuel vapor from the EVAP canister is regulated as the
air flow changes.
SEF337U
COMPONENT DESCRIPTIONNBEC0319S02The EVAP canister purge volume control solenoid valve uses a
ON/OFF duty to control the flow rate of fuel vapor from the EVAP
canister. 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.
