DTC P0448 EVAP CANISTER VENT CONTROL VALVE

PFP:16935

Component Description

NBS000ZJ

The EVAP canister vent control valve is located on the EVAP canis-
ter and is used to seal the canister vent.
This solenoid valve responds to signals from the ECM. When the
ECM sends an ON signal, the coil in the solenoid valve is energized.
A plunger will then move to seal the canister vent. The ability to seal
the vent is necessary for the on board diagnosis of other evaporative
emission control system components.
This solenoid valve is used only for diagnosis, and usually remains
opened.
When the vent is closed, under normal purge conditions, the evapo-
rative emission control system is depressurized and allows “EVAP
Control System” diagnosis.

DTC Confirmation Procedure

NBS000ZM

NOTE:
If DTC Confirmation Procedure has been previously conducted, always turn ignition switch OFF and wait at
least 10 seconds before conducting the next test.

 WITH CONSULT-II

1.

Turn ignition switch ON and wait at least 5 seconds.

2.

Turn ignition switch OFF and wait at least 10 seconds.

3.

Turn ignition switch ON and select “DATA MONITOR” mode with
CONSULT-II.

4.

Start engine and let it idle for at least 1 minute. 

5.

Repeat next procedures three times.

a.

Increase the engine speed up to 3,000 to 3,500 rpm and keep it
for 2 minutes and 50 seconds to 3 minutes.
Never exceed 3 minutes.

b.

Fully released accelerator pedal and keep engine idle for about
5 seconds.

6.

If 1st trip DTC is detected, go to 

EC-436, "Diagnostic Procedure"

.
If 1st trip DTC is not detected, go to the next step.

7.

Repeat next procedure 20 times.

a.

Quickly increase the engine speed up to 4,000 to 4,500 rpm or more and keep it for 25 to 30 seconds.

b.

Fully released accelerator pedal and keep engine idle for at least 35 seconds.

8.

If 1st trip DTC is detected, go to 

EC-436, "Diagnostic Procedure"

 .

 WITH GST

Follow the procedure “WITH CONSULT-II” above.

Specification data are reference values and are measured between each terminal and ground.

CAUTION:

Do not use ECM ground terminals when measuring input/output voltage. Doing so may result in dam-
age to the ECM's transistor. Use a ground other than ECM terminals, such as the ground.

Diagnostic Procedure

NBS000ZO

1. 

CHECK RUBBER TUBE

1.

Turn ignition switch OFF.

2.

Disconnect rubber tube connected to EVAP canister vent control valve.

3.

Check the rubber tube for clogging.
