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 valve Closed and the EVAP canister vent 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 valves.
Control Module Command | EVAP Canister Purge Valve | EVAP Canister Vent Valve |
|---|---|---|
ON | Open | Closed |
OFF | Closed | Open |
Conditions for Running the DTC
| • | DTCs P0112, P0113, P0116, P0117, P0118, P0121, P0122, P0123, P0125, P0440, P0442, P0443, P0444, P0445, P0446, P0447, P0448, P0449, P0451, P0452, or P0453 are not set. |
| • | The ignition voltage is between 10-18 volts. |
| • | The start-up engine coolant temperature (ECT) is between 4-65°C (39-149°F). |
| • | The start-up idle air temperature (IAT) is between 4-75°C (39-167°F). |
| • | The fuel tank level is between 15-85 percent. |
| • | The barometric pressure (BARO) is more than 75 kPa (10.8 psi). |
| • | The vehicle speed sensor (VSS) is 0 km/h (0 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
An intermittent condition could be caused by an improperly installed or damaged EVAP canister purge valve or a temporary blockage in the EVAP canister purge valve. Inspect for blockage in the EVAP system.

Is the fuel tank vacuum press. parameter within the specified range? | -0.5 to +0.5 in H2O | Go to Step 4 | Go to DTC P0453 |
4 |
Does the gage indicate an increase in vacuum? | 1,200-1,500 RPM | Go to Step 5 | Go to Diagnostic Aids |
5 | Replace the EVAP canister purge valve. Refer to Evaporative Emission Canister Purge Solenoid Valve Replacement . Did you complete the replacement? | -- | Go to Step 6 | -- |
Does the scan tool indicate that the Service Bay Test has passed? | -- | Go to Steps 7 | Go to Step 3 | |
7 | Observe the Capture Info with a scan tool. Are there any DTCs that have not been diagnosed? | -- | System OK | |
