1 IDENTIFY TRIGGER DTC FOR FREEZE FRAME DATA (MODE 2) 
  • Is DTC P0441 on FREEZE FRAME DATA (Mode 2)?
Yes Go to the next step.
No Go to troubleshooting for DTC on FREEZE FRAME DATA (Mode 2).
(See DTC TABLE .)
2 VERIFY FREEZE FRAME DATA (MODE 12) AND DIAGNOSTIC MONITORING TEST RESULTS HAVE BEEN RECORDED 
  • Have the FREEZE FRAME DATA (Mode 12) and DIAGNOSTIC MONITORING TEST RESULTS (Evaporative emission system related) been recorded?
Yes Go to the next step.
No Record FREEZE FRAME DATA (Mode 12) and DIAGNOSTIC MONITORING TEST RESULTS on the repair order, then go to the next step.
3 VERIFY RELATED SERVICE BULLETINS AVAILABILITY 
  • Verify related Service Bulletins availability.
  • Is any related Service Bulletins available?
Yes Perform the repair or diagnosis according to the available Service Bulletins.
  • If the vehicle is not repaired, go to the next step.
No Go to the next step.
4 VERIFY RELATED PENDING CODE OR STORED DTCS 
  • Turn the ignition switch off then to the ON position (Engine off).
  • Verify related pending code or stored DTCs.
  • Is DTC P0443 present?
Yes Go to DTC P0443 .
No Go to the next step.
5 DETERMINE IF THERE IS BLOCKAGE 
  • Clear the DTC using the M-MDS.
  • Then perform the KOER self-test.
  • Is DTC P0441 present?
Yes Go to Step 7.
No Go to the next step.
6 INSPECT IF MALFUNCTION IS BLOCKAGE OR LEAKAGE IN PURGE SOLENOID VALVE 
NOTE:
  • Carefully handle the evaporative system when disconnecting and connecting hoses. Do not use any lubricant around the system. Foreign material can cause a system malfunction.

  • Remove the purge solenoid valve and cool it down in a refrigerator for 1 hour.
  • Install the purge solenoid valve and perform the KOER self-test using the M-MDS.
  • Is DTC P0441 present?
Yes Replace the purge solenoid valve. Then go to Step 13.
No Go to Step 8.
7 INSPECT FOR LOCATION OF BLOCKAGE 
  • Apply vacuum to the following parts using a vacuum pump.
  • Verify that the system does not hold vacuum at the following locations:
    • Hoses and pipes between intake manifold and charcoal canister
    • Catch tank
    • Charcoal canister
  • Is there any blockage?
Yes Repair or replace the appropriate parts. Then go to Step 13.
No Replace the purge solenoid valve. Then go to Step 13.
8 DETERMINE LEAKAGE EXISTENCE 
  • Perform the evaporative system leak inspection.
  • Is DTC P0442 recorded?
Yes Go to the next step.
No Go to Step 13.
9 INSPECT IF PURGE SOLENOID VALVE IS STUCK OPEN 
Yes Go to the next step.
No Replace the purge solenoid valve. Then go to Step 13.
10 INSPECT FOR LOCATION OF LEAKAGE 
  • Inspect the following for leakage using the evaporative leak detector.
    • Between purge solenoid valve and check valve
    • Between check valve and charcoal canister
  • Is there any leakage?
Yes Repair or replace the appropriate parts.
Then go to Step 13.
No Go to the next step.
11 INSPECT EVAP SYSTEM LEAK DETECTION PUMP 
NOTE:
  • Be careful to not apply a shock to the evaporative system leak detection pump, otherwise the results of the leak inspection could be incorrect.

  • Connect all disconnected connectors and hoses.
  • Place a clamp on the evaporative system leak detection pump hose between the evaporative system leak detection pump and the air filter.
  • Perform the evaporative system leak inspection.

    (See ENGINE CONTROL SYSTEM OPERATION INSPECTION .)

  • Is DTC P2404 recorded?
Yes Go to the next step.
No Replace the evaporative system leak detection pump, then go to Step 14.
12 INSPECT FUEL PUMP UNIT INSTALLATION 
  • Remove the fuel tank.
  • Visually Inspect for damage, insufficient sealing or a poorly installed pump unit.
  • Is it normal?
Yes Go to the next step.
No Repair or replace the fuel tank or sealing, then go to the next step.
13 PERFORM KOER SELF-TEST TO DETERMINE OTHER RELATED MALFUNCTION OTHER THAN BLOCKAGE LOCATION 
NOTE:
  • Carefully handle the evaporative system when disconnecting and connecting hoses. Do not use any lubricant around the system. Foreign material can cause a system malfunction.

  • Connect all disconnected connectors and hoses.
  • Perform the KOER self-test using M-MDS.
  • Is DTC P0441 still recorded?
Yes Blockage still exists. Locate blockage position and repair. Then go to the next step.
No Go to the next step.
14 PERFORM LEAK INSPECTION 
Yes Leakage still exists. Locate leak the point and repair. Then go to the next step.
No Go to the next step.
15 VERIFY TROUBLESHOOTING OF DTC P0441 COMPLETED 
  • Start the engine and let it idle.
  • Clear the DTC using the M-MDS.
  • Turn the ignition switch off.
  • Perform the "EVAP System Repair Verification Drive Mode".

    (See ENGINE CONTROL SYSTEM OPERATION INSPECTION .)

  • Is the PENDING CODE for this DTC present?
Yes Replace the PCM, then go to the next step.
No Go to the next step.
16 VERIFY AFTER REPAIR PROCEDURE 
Yes Go to the applicable DTC inspection.
(See AFTER REPAIR PROCEDURE .)
