STEP 3. Using scan tool MB991958, check data list item 11: 
Heated Oxygen Sensor Bank 2, Sensor 1 (left front).

(1) Start the engine and run at idle.
(2) Set scan tool MB991958 to the data reading mode for item 

11, Heated Oxygen Sensor Bank 2, Sensor 1 (left front).

• Warming up the engine. When the engine is revved, the 

output voltage should be 0.6 to 1.0 volt.

(3) Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.
Q: Is the sensor operating properly?

YES : Go to Step 4.
NO :  Refer to DTC P0150 

− Heated Oxygen Sensor Circuit 

(Bank 2, Sensor 1)

STEP 4. Using scan tool MB991958, check data list item 11: 
Heated Oxygen Sensor Bank 2, Sensor 1 (left front).

(1) Start the engine and run at idle.
(2) Set scan tool MB991958 to the data reading mode for item 

11, Heated Oxygen Sensor Bank 2, Sensor 1 (left front).

(3) Keep the engine speed at 2,000 r/min.

• 0 − 0.4 and 0.6 − 1.0 volt should alternate 15 times or 

more within 10 seconds.

(4) Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.
Q: Is the sensor operating properly?

YES : Go to Step 5.
NO :  Replace the left bank heated oxygen sensor (front). 

Then go to Step 7.

STEP 5. Test the OBD-II drive cycle.

(1) Carry out a test drive with the drive cycle pattern. Refer to 

Diagnostic Function 

− OBD-II Drive Cycle − Procedure 3 − 

Catalytic Converter Monitor 

P.13B-5

.

(2) Read the diagnostic trouble code.
Q: Is DTC P0431 set?

YES : Replace the left bank side catalytic converter. Then 

go to Step 6.

NO :  The inspection is complete.

STEP 6. Test the OBD-II drive cycle.
(1) Carry out a test drive with the drive cycle pattern. Refer to 

Diagnostic Function 

− OBD-II Drive Cycle − Procedure 3 − 

Catalytic Converter Monitor 

P.13B-5

.

(2) Read the diagnostic trouble code.
Q: Is DTC P0431 set?

YES : Replace the PCM. Then go to Step 7.
NO :  The inspection is complete.

STEP 7. Test the OBD-II drive cycle.
(1) Carry out a test drive with the drive cycle pattern. Refer to 

Diagnostic Function 

− OBD-II Drive Cycle − Procedure 3 − 

Catalytic Converter Monitor 

P.13B-5

.

(2) Check the diagnostic trouble code (DTC).
Q: Is DTC P0431 set?

YES : Retry the troubleshooting.
NO :  The inspection is complete.

DTC P0441: Evaporative Emission Control System Incorrect Purge Flow

.

TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION

• PCM detects stuck open condition of evaporative 

emission purge solenoid valve and stuck closed 
condition of evaporative emission ventilation 
solenoid valve by pressure change in fuel tank.

• Stuck open evaporative emission purge solenoid 

valve is judged through monitoring leak of evapo-
rative emission system.

• Stuck closed evaporative emission ventilation 

solenoid valve is judged after 20 seconds from 
end of monitoring leak of evaporative emission 
system, or of usual operation of evaporative 
emission purge solenoid from ON to OFF.

.

DESCRIPTIONS OF MONITOR METHODS
Fuel tank pressure decreases largely during 

purge-cut.

.

MONITOR EXECUTION
Continuous

DTC SET CONDITIONS

Logic Flow Chart

.

Check Conditions

• ON duty cycle of the evaporative emission purge 

solenoid is 0 percent.

• Engine is running.

• 20 seconds have elapsed since the duty cycle of 

the evaporative emission purge solenoid has 
turned to 0 percent.

Judgment Criteria

• The pressure in the fuel tank is −2 kPa (−0.59 

in.Hg) or less for 0.1 second.

.

OBD-II DRIVE CYCLE PATTERN

TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS (The most likely 
causes for this code to be set are:)

• Evaporative emission purge solenoid failed.

• Evaporative emission ventilation solenoid failed.
