DTC P0443-13: Evaporative Emission System Purge Control Valve "A" Circuit Open [08/2021 - ]: Description
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 6 other vehicles, including the 2024 Lexus ES 350, 2023 Lexus ES 350, 2022 Lexus ES 350, 2021 Lexus ES 350, and 2020 Lexus ES 350. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
To reduce hydrocarbon (HC) emissions, evaporated fuel from the fuel tank is routed through a charcoal canister to the intake manifold for combustion in the cylinders.
The ECM changes the duty signals to the purge VSV (Vacuum Switching Valve for Purge Control) so that the intake amount of hydrocarbon (HC) emissions is appropriate for the driving conditions (engine load, engine speed, vehicle speed, etc.) after the engine is warmed up.
