DTC P0442 EVAP CONTROL SYSTEM

On Board Diagnosis Logic

UBS00D7D

NOTE:
If DTC P0442 is displayed with DTC P1448, first perform trouble diagnosis for DTC P1448. (See 

EC-481

.)
This diagnosis detects leaks in the EVAP purge line using engine intake manifold vacuum.
If pressure does not increase, the ECM will check for leaks in the line between the fuel tank and EVAP canister
purge volume control solenoid valve under the following “Vacuum test” conditions.
The vacuum cut valve bypass valve is opened to clear the line between the fuel tank and the EVAP canister
purge volume control solenoid valve. The EVAP canister vent control valve will then be closed to shut the
EVAP purge line off. The EVAP canister purge volume control solenoid valve is opened to depressurize the
EVAP purge line using intake manifold vacuum. After this occurs, the EVAP canister purge volume control
solenoid valve will be closed.

DTC P0442 EVAP CONTROL SYSTEM

CAUTION:

●

Use only a genuine NISSAN fuel filler cap as a replacement. If an incorrect fuel filler cap is used,
the MIL may come on.

●

If the fuel filler cap is not tightened properly, the MIL may come on.

●

Use only a genuine NISSAN rubber tube as a replacement.

DTC Confirmation Procedure

UBS00D7E

NOTE:

●

If DTC P0442 is displayed with P1448, perform trouble diagnosis for DTC P1448 first. Refer to 

EC-

481

 .

●

Make sure that EVAP hoses are connected to EVAP canister purge volume control solenoid valve
properly.

●

If “DTC Confirmation Procedure” has been previously conducted, always turn ignition switch OFF and wait
at least 5 seconds before conducting the next test.

 WITH CONSULT-II

TESTING CONDITION:

●

Perform “DTC WORK SUPPORT” when the fuel level is between 1/4 and 3/4 full, and vehicle is
placed on flat level surface.

DTC No.
