DTC P0443

The evaporative emission (EVAP) canister purge valve is used to purge fuel vapour from the EVAP canister to the inlet manifold. The EVAP canister purge valve is pulse width modulated (PWM). Ignition voltage is supplied directly to the EVAP canister purge valve. The engine control module (ECM) controls the solenoid by grounding the control circuit with a solid state device called a driver. The driver is equipped with a feedback circuit that is pulled-up to a voltage. The ECM can determine if the control circuit is open, shorted to ground, or shorted to a voltage by monitoring the feedback voltage.

The ECM detects that the commanded state of the driver and the actual state of the control circuit do not match for greater than 5 s.

Control Module References for scan tool information

1. Ignition ON, command the EVAP Purge Solenoid to 50% with a scan tool. You should feel or hear the solenoid click when commanded to 50%.
2. Operate the vehicle within the conditions for running the DTC to verify the DTC does not reset. You may also operate the vehicle within the conditions that you observed from the freeze frame/failure records data.

1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the Q12 Evaporative Emission Purge Solenoid Valve.
2. Ignition ON, verify that a test lamp illuminates between the voltage supply circuit terminal 2 and ground.

⇒

If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the voltage supply circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal and the voltage supply circuit fuse F11 is open, test all components connected to the ignition voltage circuit and repair as necessary or replace the Q12 Evaporative Emission Purge Solenoid Valve.

3. Test for 3.5-5.5 V between the Q12 Evaporative Emission Purge Solenoid Valve control circuit terminal 1 and ground.

⇒	If less than the specified range, repair the short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K20 Engine Control Module.

⇒	If greater than the specified range, test the Q12 Evaporative Emission Purge Solenoid Valve control circuit for a short circuit to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K20 Engine Control Module.

4. Install a test lamp between control circuit terminal 1 and the voltage supply circuit terminal 2. Command the EVAP Purge Solenoid On and OFF with a scan tool. Verify a test lamp corresponds to the commanded state.

⇒	If the test lamp does not correspond as commanded, replace the K20 Engine Control Module.

5. If all circuits test normal, test or replace the Q12 Evaporative Emission Purge Solenoid Valve.

Static Test

1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the Q12 Evaporative Emission Purge Solenoid Valve.
2. Test for 10-30 Ω between the voltage supply terminal 2 and the K20 Engine Control Module control circuit terminal 1.

⇒	If not within the specified range, replace the Q12 Evaporative Emission Purge Solenoid Valve.

3. Test for infinite resistance between each terminal and the Q12 Evaporative Emission Purge Solenoid Valve housing.

⇒	If not within the specified value, replace the Q12 Evaporative Emission Purge Solenoid Valve.

Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification after completing the diagnostic procedure.
