DTC P0443  : EVAP Canister Purge Valve Circuit Malfunction

NOTE:  Before you troubleshoot, review the general troubleshooting information .

DTC Description Confirmed DTC Pending DTC Freeze Frame
P0443 EVAP Canister Purge Valve Circuit Malfunction      

DTC (PGM-FI)

  1. Problem verification

    -1. Turn the vehicle to the ON mode.

    -2. Clear the DTC with the HDS.

    -3. Start the engine. Hold the engine speed at 3, 000 rpm without load (CVT in P or N, M/T in neutral) until the radiator fan comes on, then let it idle.

    -4. Check for Pending or Confirmed DTCs with the HDS.

    P0443 EVAP Canister Purge Valve Circuit Malfunction      

    Is DTC P0443 indicated?

    YES 

    The failure is duplicated. Go to step 2.

    NO 

    Intermittent failure, the system is OK at this time. Check for poor connections or loose terminals at the EVAP canister purge valve and the PCM. If the freeze data/on-board snapshot of this DTC is recorded, try to reproduce the failure under the same conditions with the freeze data/on-board snapshot .

  2. Determine possible failure area (EVAP canister purge valve stuck open failure, EVAP canister purge valve stuck closed failure)

    -1. Turn the vehicle to the OFF (LOCK) mode, and allow the engine to cool below 131 deg. F (55 deg. C).

    -2. Disconnect the vacuum hose (A) from the EVAP canister purge valve (B) in the engine compartment, then connect the vacuum pump to the hose.

    -3. Start the engine, and let it idle.

    Is there vacuum at engine coolant temperature below 131 deg. F (55 deg. C)?

    YES 

    The EVAP canister purge valve is stuck open. Go to step 3.

    NO 

    The EVAP canister purge valve is stuck closed. Go to step 5.

  3. Determine possible failure area (PC SOL line, EVAP canister purge valve)

    -1. Turn the vehicle to the OFF (LOCK) mode.

    -2. Disconnect the following connector.

    EVAP canister purge valve 2P connector

    -3. Check for continuity between test points 1 and 2.

    Test condition Vehicle OFF (LOCK) mode
      EVAP canister purge valve 2P connector: disconnected
    Test point 1 EVAP canister purge valve 2P connector No. 1
    Test point 2 Body ground

    Is there continuity?

    YES 

    Go to step 4.

    NO 

    Replace the EVAP canister purge valve .

  4. Shorted wire check (PC SOL line)

    -1. Jump the SCS line with the HDS.

    -2. Disconnect the following connector.

    PCM connector C (51P)

    -3. Check for continuity between test points 1 and 2.

    Test condition Vehicle OFF (LOCK) mode
      EVAP canister purge valve 2P connector: disconnected
      PCM connector C (51P): disconnected
    Test point 1 EVAP canister purge valve 2P connector No. 1
    Test point 2 Body ground

    Is there continuity?

    YES 

    Repair a short in the PC SOL wire between the PCM (C7) and the EVAP canister purge valve.

    NO 

    The PC SOL wire is OK. Update the PCM if it does not have the latest software, or substitute a known-good PCM , then recheck. If DTC P0443 goes away and the PCM was updated, troubleshooting is complete. If DTC P0443 goes away and the PCM was substituted, replace the original PCM .

  5. Open wire check (IG1 (PCS)/IG1 (MAIN)/IG1 ACG line)

    -1. Turn the vehicle to the OFF (LOCK) mode.

    -2. Disconnect the following connector.

    EVAP canister purge valve 2P connector

    -3. Turn the vehicle to the ON mode.

    -4. Measure the voltage between test points 1 and 2.

    Test condition Vehicle ON mode
      EVAP canister purge valve 2P connector: disconnected
    Test point 1 EVAP canister purge valve 2P connector No. 2
    Test point 2 Body ground
    GHH434599Courtesy of HONDA, U.S.A., INC.

    Is there battery voltage?

    YES 

    The IG1 (PCS)/IG1 (MAIN)/IG1 ACG wire is OK. Go to step 6.

    NO 

    Repair an open in the IG1 (PCS)/IG1 (MAIN)/IG1 ACG wire between the EVAP canister purge valve and the No. C30 (10 A) fuse in the under-dash fuse/relay box.

  6. Open wire check (PC SOL line)

    -1. Turn the vehicle to the OFF (LOCK) mode.

    -2. Jump the SCS line with the HDS.

    -3. Disconnect the following connector.

    PCM connector C (51P)

    -4. Check for continuity between test points 1 and 2.

    Test condition Vehicle OFF (LOCK) mode
      EVAP canister purge valve 2P connector: disconnected
      PCM connector C (51P): disconnected
    Test point 1 PCM connector C (51P) No. 7
    Test point 2 EVAP canister purge valve 2P connector No. 1

    Is there continuity?

    YES 

    The PC SOL wire is OK. Go to step 7.

    NO 

    Repair an open in the PC SOL wire between the PCM (C7) and the EVAP canister purge valve.

  7. EVAP canister purge valve internal resistance check

    -1. At the purge valve side, measure the resistance between test points 1 and 2.

    Test condition Vehicle OFF (LOCK) mode
      EVAP canister purge valve 2P connector: disconnected
      PCM connector C (51P): disconnected
    Test point 1 EVAP canister purge valve 2P connector No. 1 (EVAP canister purge valve side)
    Test point 2 EVAP canister purge valve 2P connector No. 2 (EVAP canister purge valve side)

    Is there about 25-30 Ω at room temperature?

    YES 

    The EVAP canister purge valve is OK. Update the PCM if it does not have the latest software, or substitute a known-good PCM , then recheck. If DTC P0443 goes away and the PCM was updated, troubleshooting is complete. If DTC P0443 goes away and the PCM was substituted, replace the original PCM .

    NO 

    Replace the EVAP canister purge valve .
