Computers and Control Systems: Diagnostic Trouble Code Tests and Associated Procedures
P0441
DESCRIPTION
The evaporative system reduces hydrocarbon emissions by trapping fuel tank vapors until they can be burned as part of the incoming fuel charge.
Evaporating fuel is stored in a charcoal canister until it can be flushed into the intake manifold.
In normal operation, the purge control valve opens and closes depending on throttle angle and intake manifold vacuum. When it opens fuel vapors are
flushed from the canister and drawn into the intake manifold. To avoid a vacuum build-up in the canister, the canister close valve in normally held open
to allow fresh air to replace the vapors drawn into the intake manifold.
Note that water or other debris in the line between the purge control solenoid valve and canister can also set code P0446. If the purge control valve is
stuck open, code P0445 may be set. To clear lines of debris, blow compressed air through the lines.
