DTC P0443: - Evaporative Emission System Purge Control Valve Circuit

DTC P0443: - EVAPORATIVE EMISSION SYSTEM PURGE CONTROL VALVE CIRCUIT

Description:  The powertrain control module (PCM) monitors the state of the evaporative emission (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: 
  • VPWR circuit open
  • EVAP canister purge valve circuit short to GND
  • Damaged EVAP canister purge valve
  • EVAP canister purge valve circuit open
  • EVAP canister purge valve circuit short to VPWR
  • Damaged PCM
Diagnostic Aids:  To verify normal function, monitor the EVAP canister purge valve signal PID EVMV or EVAPCP and the signal voltage (PCM control side). With the valve closed, the EVMV indicates 0 mA (0% duty cycle for EVAPCP) and voltage approximately equal to battery voltage. When the valve is commanded fully open, EVMV indicates 1,000 mA (100% duty cycle for EVAPCP) and a voltage drop of 3 volts minimum is normal. Output test mode may be used to switch output on/off to verify function.
