INSPECTION PROCEDURE
HINT:

If DTC P0441, P0446, P0450 or P0451 is output after DTC P0440,first troubleshoot DTC P0441,
P0446, P0450 or P0451. If no malfunction is detected, troubleshoot DTC P0440 next.

Read freeze frame data using TOYOTA hand±held tester or OBD II scan tool. Because freeze frame
records the engine conditions when the 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
VSV for EVAP, charcoal canister and vapor pressure sensor.
TOYOTA hand±held tester:
1 Check whether hose close to fuel tank have been modified, and check whether
there are signs of any accident near fuel tank or charcoal canister (See page
DI±81).
NG Repair or replace.
OK
2 Check that fuel tank cap is TOYOTA genuine parts.
NG Replace to TOYOTA genuine parts.
