DTC P0441 DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE

STEP	INSPECTION		ACTION
1	VERIFY FREEZE FRAME DATA AND DIAGNOSTIC MONITORING TEST RESULTS HAVE BEEN RECORDED Have FREEZE FRAME DATA and DIAGNOSTIC MONITORING TEST RESULTS (EVAP system related) been recorded?	Yes	Go to the next step.
1		No	Record the FREEZE FRAME DATA and DIAGNOSTIC MONITORING TEST RESULTS on the repair order, then go to the next step.
2	VERIFY RELATED REPAIR INFORMATION AVAILABILITY Verify related Service Bulletins and/or on-line repair information availability. Is any related repair information available?	Yes	Perform repair or diagnosis according to the available repair information. If the vehicle is not repaired, go to the next step.
2		No	Go to the next step.
3	VERIFY RELATED PENDING CODE OR STORED DTC Turn the ignition switch off, then to the ON position (Engine off). Verify the related PENDING CODE or stored DTCs. Is the DTC P0443 also present?	Yes	Go to the DTC P0443 inspection. (See DTC P0443 .)
3		No	Go to the next step.
4	CLASSIFY LEAK CONCERN OR BLOCKAGE CONCERN Perform the "Evaporative System Test". (See EVAPORATIVE EMISSION (EVAP) SYSTEM LEAK INSPECTION .) Does the test produce a failure?	Yes	Go to Step 6.
4		No	Go to the next step.
5	INSPECT PURGE SOLENOID VALVE Inspect the purge solenoid valve. (See PURGE SOLENOID VALVE INSPECTION .) Is there any malfunction?	Yes	Replace the purge solenoid valve, then go to the Step 13. (See INTAKE-AIR SYSTEM HOSE ROUTING DIAGRAM .)
5		No	Inspect the following parts for clogging. Vacuum hoses between intake manifold to charcoal canister Catch tank Charcoal canister Repair or replace the malfunction part, then go to Step 13.
6	LOCATE LEAK POINT Inspect the following for leakage using Evaporative Emissions Tester: (See EVAPORATIVE EMISSION (EVAP) SYSTEM LEAK INSPECTION .) Charcoal canister Catch tank Fuel filler cap EVAP hoses and pipes Fuel tank Is leakage found?	Yes	Repair or replace the malfunctioning part, then go to Step 13.
6		No	Go to the next step.
7	INSPECT EVAPORATIVE SYSTEM OPERATION Connect all disconnected connectors and hoses. Place the clamp on the hose between EVAP system leak detection pump and air filter. Perform the "Evaporative System Test". (See EVAPORATIVE EMISSION (EVAP) SYSTEM LEAK INSPECTION .) Does the test produce a failure (red light turns on)?	Yes	Go to Step 9.
7		No	Go to the next step.
8	INSPECT FOR EVAP SYSTEM LEAK DETECTION PUMP LEAKAGE Remove the clamp. Perform the "Evaporative System Test". (See EVAPORATIVE EMISSION (EVAP) SYSTEM LEAK INSPECTION .) Does the test produce a failure (red light turns on)?	Yes	Replace the EVAP system leak detection pump, then go to Step 13. (See EVAPORATIVE EMISSION (EVAP) CONTROL SYSTEM REMOVAL/INSTALLATION .)
8		No	Go to the next step.
9	INSPECT INSTALLATION OF FUEL PUMP UNIT Inspect the fuel pump unit for damage, insufficient, or poor sealing. Is it normal?	Yes	Go to the next step.
9		No	Repair or replace the malfunctioning part, then go to the next step.
10	INSPECT EVAPORATIVE SYSTEM OPERATION Perform the "Evaporative System Test". (See EVAPORATIVE EMISSION (EVAP) SYSTEM LEAK INSPECTION .) Does the test produce a failure (red light turns on)?	Yes	Leakage still exists. Repair or replace the leak point, then go to the next step.
10		No	Go to the next step
11	INSPECT APP SENSOR Inspect the APP sensor. (See ACCELERATOR PEDAL POSITION (APP) SENSOR INSPECTION .) Is there any malfunction?	Yes	Replace the APP sensor, then go to Step 13. (See ACCELERATOR PEDAL REMOVAL/INSTALLATION .)
11		No	Go to the next step.
12	INSPECT ECCENTRIC SHAFT POSITION SENSOR Inspect the eccentric shaft position sensor. (See ECCENTRIC SHAFT POSITION SENSOR INSPECTION .) Is there any malfunction?	Yes	Replace the eccentric shaft position sensor, then go to the next step. (See ECCENTRIC SHAFT POSITION SENSOR REMOVAL/INSTALLATION .)
12		No	Go to the next step.
13	VERIFY TROUBLESHOOTING OF DTC P0441 COMPLETED Make sure to reconnect all disconnected connectors. Clear the DTC from the PCM memory using the WDS or equivalent. Perform the DRIVE MODE 1 and 6. (See OBD-II DRIVE MODE ) Is the PENDING CODE same as the DTC present?	Yes	Replace the PCM, then go to the next step. (See PCM REMOVAL/INSTALLATION .)
13		No	Go to the next step.
14	VERIFY AFTER REPAIR PROCEDURE Perform the "After Repair Procedure". (See AFTER REPAIR PROCEDURE .) Is there any DTC present?	Yes	Go to the applicable DTC inspection. (See DTC TABLE .)
