DTC P0443 Evaporative Emission Control System Purge Control Valve Circuit |
DESCRIPTION
To reduce 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 so that the intake amount of HC emissions is appropriate for the driving conditions (engine load, engine speed, vehicle speed, etc.) after the engine is warmed up.
DTC No. | DTC Detection Condition | Trouble Area |
P0443 | Terminal voltage of ECM output circuit does not correspond with drive signals from ECM to purge VSV (1 trip detection logic) |

INSPECTION PROCEDURE
- HINT:
- Read freeze frame data using the intelligent tester. The ECM records vehicle and driving condition information as freeze frame data the moment a DTC is stored. When troubleshooting, freeze frame data can help determine if the vehicle was moving or stationary, if the engine was warmed up or not, if the air-fuel ratio was lean or rich, and other data from the time the malfunction occurred.
1.PERFORM ACTIVE TEST USING INTELLIGENT TESTER (ACTIVATE THE PURGE VSV CONTROL) |
Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.
![]() |
Remove the vacuum hose of the purge VSV from the charcoal canister.
Start the engine and turn the tester on.
Select the following menu items: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Active Test / Activate the VSV for Evap Control.
When the purge VSV is operated using the intelligent tester, check whether the disconnected hose applies suction to your finger.
- OK:
Tester Operation Specified Condition VSV is ON Disconnected hose applies suction to finger VSV is OFF Disconnected hose applies no suction to finger

2.INSPECT PURGE VSV |
Disconnect the C6 purge VSV connector.
![]() |
Measure the resistance between the terminals of the purge VSV.
- Standard resistance:
- 23 to 26 Ω at 20°C (68°F)
Reconnect the purge VSV connector.
|
| ||||
OK | |
3.INSPECT PURGE VSV (POWER SOURCE VOLTAGE) |
Disconnect the C6 purge VSV connector.
![]() |
Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
Measure the voltage between the terminal of the wire harness side connector and body ground.
- Standard voltage:
Tester Connection Specified Condition Purge VSV (C6-1) - Body ground 9 to 14 V
Reconnect the purge VSV connector.

NG | |
4.INSPECT ENGINE ROOM J/B (EFI RELAY, EFI MAIN FUSE) |
Inspect the EFI MAIN fuse.
Remove the EFI MAIN fuse from the engine room J/B.
Measure the EFI MAIN fuse resistance.
- Standard resistance:
- Below 1 Ω
Reinstall the EFI MAIN fuse.
![]() |
Inspect the EFI relay.
Remove the engine room J/B from the engine room R/B.
Measure the EFI relay resistance.
- Standard resistance:
Tester Connection Specified Condition 1E-6 - 1E-12 10 kΩ or higher Below 1 Ω
(Apply battery voltage between terminals 1E-9 and 1E-11)
Reinstall the engine room J/B.
|
| ||||
OK | |
5.CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (PURGE VSV - EFI RELAY) |
Inspect the EFI No. 3 fuse.
Remove the EFI No. 3 fuse from the engine room J/B.
Measure the EFI No. 3 fuse resistance.
- Standard resistance:
- Below 1 Ω
Reinstall the EFI No. 3 fuse.
![]() |
Disconnect the C6 purge VSV connector.
Remove the engine room J/B from the engine room R/B.
Disconnect the 1E engine room J/B connector.
Measure the resistance between the terminals.
- Standard resistance (Check for open):
Tester Connection Specified Condition Purge VSV (C6-1) - Engine room R/B (1E-6) Below 1 Ω
- Standard resistance (Check for short):
Tester Connection Specified Condition Purge VSV (C6-1) or Engine room R/B (1E-6) - Body ground 10 kΩ or higher
Reconnect the purge VSV connector.
Reconnect the engine room J/B connector.
Reinstall the engine room J/B.
|
| ||||
OK | ||

6.CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (PURGE VSV - ECM) |
Disconnect the C6 purge VSV connector.
![]() |
Disconnect the C24 ECM connector.
Measure the resistance between the terminals of the wire harness side connectors.
- Standard resistance (Check for open):
Tester Connection Specified Condition Purge VSV (C6-2) - PRG (C24-49) Below 1 Ω
- Standard resistance (Check for short):
Tester Connection Specified Condition Purge VSV (C6-2) or PRG (C24-49) - Body ground 10 kΩ or higher
