DTC P0443: Evaporative Emission (EVAP) Control System Canister Purge Valve Circuit Malfunction
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 32 other vehicles, including the 2005 Mercury Sable, 2005 Mercury Mountaineer, 2005 Mercury Monterey, 2005 Mercury Montego, and 2005 Mercury Mariner. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
P0443 - EVAPORATIVE EMISSION (EVAP) CONTROL SYSTEM CANISTER PURGE VALVE CIRCUIT MALFUNCTION
| Description: | The powertrain control module (PCM) monitors the state of the EVAP canister purge valve circuit output driver. The test fails when the signal moves outside the minimum or maximum limit for the commanded state. | ||
| Possible Causes: |
|
||
| Diagnostic Aids: | To verify normal function, monitor the EVAP canister purge valve signal PID EVAPPDC (or EVMV for electronic valve) and the signal voltage (PCM control side). With the valve closed, the EVAPPDC indicates a 0% duty cycle (0 mA for EVMV) and voltage approximately equal to battery voltage. When the valve is commanded fully open, EVAPPDC indicates 100% duty cycle (1000 mA for EVMV) and a voltage drop of 3 volts minimum is normal. Output test mode may be used to switch output on/off to verify function. | ||
