System Description
This DTC tests for undesired intake manifold vacuum flow to the evaporative emission (EVAP) system. The control module seals the EVAP system by commanding the EVAP canister purge solenoid valve Closed and the EVAP canister vent solenoid valve Closed. The control module monitors the fuel tank pressure (FTP) sensor to determine if a vacuum is being drawn on the EVAP system. If vacuum in the EVAP system is more than a predetermined value within a predetermined time, this DTC sets.
The following table illustrates the relationship between the ON and OFF states, and the Open or Closed states of the EVAP canister purge and vent solenoid valves.
Control Module Command | EVAP Canister Purge Solenoid Valve | EVAP Canister Vent Solenoid Valve |
|---|---|---|
ON | Open | Closed |
OFF | Closed | Open |
Conditions for Running the DTC
| • | DTCs P0107, P0108, P0112, P0113, P0116, P0117, P0118, P0121, P0122, P0123, P0125, P0442, P0443, P0446, P0449, P0452, P0453, P0455, P1106, P1107, P1112, P1114, P1115, P1121, P1122 are not set. |
| • | The ignition voltage is between 10-18 volts. |
| • | The barometric pressure (BARO) is more than 75 kPa. |
| • | The fuel level is between 15-85 percent. |
| • | The engine coolant temperature (ECT) is between 4-30°C (39-86°F). |
| • | The intake air temperature (IAT) is between 4-30°C (39-86°F). |
| • | The start up ECT and IAT are within 9°C (16°F) of each other. |
| • | The vehicle speed sensor (VSS) is less than 121 km/h (75 mph). |
Conditions for Setting the DTC
The control module detects vacuum during a non purge condition.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
| • | The control module illuminates the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) on the second consecutive ignition cycle that the diagnostic runs and fails. |
| • | The control module records the operating conditions at the time the diagnostic fails. The first time the diagnostic fails, the control module stores this information in the Failure Records. If the diagnostic reports a failure on the second consecutive ignition cycle, the control module records the operating conditions at the time of the failure. The control module writes the operating conditions to the Freeze Frame and updates the Failure Records. |
Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC
| • | The control module turns OFF the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) after 3 consecutive ignition cycles that the diagnostic runs and does not fail. |
| • | A current DTC, Last Test Failed, clears when the diagnostic runs and passes. |
| • | A history DTC clears after 40 consecutive warm-up cycles, if no failures are reported by this or any other emission related diagnostic. |
| • | Clear the MIL and the DTC with a scan tool. |
Diagnostic Aids
The EVAP system tests run when the engine is first started and meets the Conditions for Running the DTC. An intermittent condition could be caused by an improperly installed or damaged EVAP canister purge solenoid valve, or by a temporary blockage in the EVAP canister purge solenoid. Refer to Evaporative Emission Canister Purge Solenoid Valve Replacement .
For intermittent conditions refer to Intermittent Conditions .
