DTC P0455, P01443 DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE

DTC P0455, P01443 EVAPORATIVE EMISSION (EVAP) SYSTEM MALFUNCTION
STEP INSPECTION ACTION
1
  • Was the PCM quick test performed?
Yes For DTC P0455:
Go to next step.
For DTC P1443:
Go to step 3.
No Perform PCM quick test. See PCM QUICK TEST  .
2 VISUALLY CHECK FOR LARGE EVAP SYSTEM LEAK
  • Check for the presence of a fuel filler cap. DO NOT tighten or check for correct installation at this time.
  • Verify that both the input port vacuum hose and EVAP return tube are attached to the EVAP canister purge valve.
  • Verify that the canister vent solenoid is properly attached to the EVAP canister.
  • Visually inspect for disconnected or cracked fuel vapor hoses/tubes between the intake manifold and the following components:
    • EVAP canister purge valve
    • EVAP canister
    • Fuel vapor vent valve assembly
  • Check for damage to the fuel filler pipe and the fuel tank.
  • Is a concern visually evident? 
Yes Repair or install new EVAP components as necessary.
See FUEL FILLER PIPE REMOVAL / INSTALLATION .
See CANISTER VENT SOLENOID REMOVAL / INSTALLATION .
See EVAPORATIVE EMISSIONS VALVE REMOVAL / INSTALLATION .
See CANISTER PURGE VALVE REMOVAL / INSTALLATION . Go to step 7.
No Go to next step.
3 CHECK FOR EVAP SYSTEM LEAKS
  • Disconnect the EVAP return tube from the intake manifold and plug the EVAP return tube.
  • Connect the EVAP system leak tester to the EVAP test port.
  • Perform the EVAP system leak test. See EVAPORATIVE EMISSION SYSTEM LEAK TEST .
  • Does the pressure stay above 1.99 kPa (8 in-H 2  O)? 
Yes Go to next step.
No Verify that the fuel filler cap is installed correctly. Repair or install new components as necessary. Go to step 7.
4 CHECK FOR BLOCKAGE BETWEEN THE EVAP CANISTER PURGE VALVE AND THE CANISTER VENT SOLENOID
NOTE:
  • The EVAPCV will automatically cancel after 9-minutes of continuous operation.
  • Key ON, Engine. OFF (KOEO).
  • Using WDS or equivalent tester, select Diagnostic Data Link.
  • Select PCM.
  • Select Active Command Modes.
  • Select Output Test Mode.
  • Close EVAP Canister Vent (CV) solenoid using EVAPCV PID.
  • Pressurize the EVAP system to 3.48 kPa(14 in-H2 O).
  • Press STOP (#4) to open the CV solenoid.
  • Does the pressure drop immediately? 
Yes Go to next step.
No Install a new vapor line between the EVAP canister purge valve and the fuel vapor tee located on the frame rail near the rear of the fuel tank.
Go to step 8.
5 CHECK FOR BLOCKAGE BETWEEN FUEL FILLER PIPE AND THE FUEL VAPOR TEE
NOTE:
  • The EVAPCV will automatically cancel after 9 minutes of continuous operation.
  • Connect the EVAP system leak tester to the fuel filler pipe.
  • Using WDS or equivalent tester, select Diagnostic Data Link.
  • Select PCM.
  • Select Active Command Modes.
  • Select Output Test Mode.
  • Close EVAP Canister Vent (CV) solenoid using EVAPCV PID.
  • Pressurize the EVAP system to 3.48 kPa (4 in-H2 O).
  • Press STOP (#4) to open the CV solenoid.
  • Does the pressure drop immediately? 
Yes Go to next step.
No Install new fuel tank vapor line(s).
