INSPECTION PROCEDURE

HINT:

If DTC P0441, P0446, P0450 or P0451 is output after DTC P0440 or P0442,first troubleshoot DTC
P0441, P0446, P0450 or P0451. If no malfunction is detected, troubleshoot DTC P0440 or P0442 next.

Read freeze frame data using 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 deter-
mining 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
vapor pressure sensor.

Hand-held  Tester:

1

PERFORM ACTIVE TEST BY HAND-HELD TESTER

(a)

Select the ACTIVE TEST mode on the hand-held tester.

(b)

Disconnect the vacuum hose from the VSV for the EVAP.

(c)

Start the engine.

(d)

Select the item ”EVAP VSV(ALONE)” in the ACTIVE
TEST and operate the VSV for EVAP.

(e)

When the VSV for the EVAP is operated by the hand-held
tester, apply the disconnected hose to your finger to
check the suction.
Result: 
VSV is ON: Disconnected hose sucks.
VSV is OFF: Disconnected hose does not suck.

(f)

Select the item ”CAN CTRL VSV” in the ACTIVE TEST
and operate the VSV for CCV.

(g)

Check the VSV for CCVoperation when it is operated by
the hand-held tester.
Result: 
VSV is ON: Disconnected hose sucks.
VSV is OFF: Disconnected hose does not suck.

(h)

Select the item ”TANK BYPASS VSV” in the ACTIVE
TEST and operate the VSV for pressure switching valve.

(i)

Check the VSV for pressure switching valve operation
when it is operated by the hand-held tester.
Result: 
VSV is ON: Disconnected hose sucks.
VSV is OFF: Disconnected hose does not suck.
