DTC P0443 Evaporative Emission Control System Purge Control Valve Circuit |
DESCRIPTION
To reduce hydrocarbon 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 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
| The terminal voltage of the ECM output circuit does not correspond with the drive signals from the ECM to the purge VSV (1 trip detection logic).
| - Open or short in purge VSV circuit
- Purge VSV
- ECM
|
CONFIRMATION DRIVING PATTERN

- Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.
- Turn the ignition switch to ON and turn the intelligent tester on.
- Clear the DTCs (even if no DTCs are stored, perform the clear DTC operation).
- Turn the ignition switch off and wait for at least 30 seconds.
- Turn the ignition switch to ON and turn the intelligent tester on.
- Start the engine and warm it up until the engine coolant temperature is 75°C (167°F) or higher [A].
- HINT:
- The A/C and all accessory switches should be off.
- Idle the engine for 15 minutes or more [B].
- Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / DTC [C].
- Read the pending DTCs.
- HINT:
- If a pending DTC is output, the system is malfunctioning.
- If a pending DTC is not output, perform the following procedure.
- Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Utility / All Readiness.
- Input the DTC: P0443.
- Check the DTC judgment result.
Tester Display
| Description
|
NORMAL
| - DTC judgment completed
- System normal
|
ABNORMAL
| - DTC judgment completed
- System abnormal
|
INCOMPLETE
| - DTC judgment not completed
- Perform driving pattern after confirming DTC enabling conditions
|
N/A
| - Unable to perform DTC judgment
- Number of DTCs which do not fulfill DTC preconditions has reached ECU memory limit
|
- HINT:
- If the judgment result shows NORMAL, the system is normal.
- If the judgment result shows ABNORMAL, the system has a malfunction.
- If the judgment result shows INCOMPLETE or N/A, perform steps [D] and [E].
- Drive the vehicle at a constant speed between 40 and 60 km/h (25 and 38 mph) for 10 minutes [D].
- CAUTION:
- When performing the confirmation driving pattern, obey all speed limits and traffic laws.
- Check the DTC judgment result [E].

INSPECTION PROCEDURE
- NOTICE:
- Inspect the fuses of circuits related to this system before performing the following inspection procedure.
- HINT:
- Read freeze frame data using the intelligent tester. Freeze frame data records the engine condition when malfunctions are detected. 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 VSV FOR EVAP CONTROL) |
Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.
Disconnect the vacuum hose (charcoal canister side) from the purge VSV.
Start the engine.
Turn the intelligent tester on.
Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Active Test / Activate the VSV for Evap Control.
Place your finger on port E. Check if the disconnected port applies suction to your finger when operating the purge VSV using the intelligent tester.
- OK:
Tester Operation
| Specified Condition
|
VSV ON
| Purge VSV port applies suction to finger
|
VSV OFF
| Purge VSV port applies no suction to finger
|
Inspect the purge VSV (HILUX_TGN26 RM00000142600ZX_01_0001.html).
3.INSPECT PURGE VSV (POWER SOURCE) |
Disconnect the purge VSV connector.
Turn the ignition switch to ON.
Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.
- Standard Voltage:
Tester Connection
| Switch Condition
| Specified Condition
|
C69-2 - Body ground
| Ignition switch ON
| 11 to 14 V

4.CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (PURGE VSV - ECM) |
Disconnect the purge VSV connector.
Disconnect the ECM connector.
Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
- Standard Resistance:

5.PERFORM CONFIRMATION DRIVING PATTERN |
Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.
Turn the ignition switch to ON.
Turn the tester on.
Clear the DTCs (even if no DTCs are stored, perform the clear DTC operation).
Turn the ignition switch off and wait for at least 30 seconds.
Start the engine and warm it up until the engine coolant temperature is 75°C (167°F) or higher.
Idle the engine for 15 minutes or more.
Turn the tester on.
Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Utility / All Readiness.
Input the DTC: P0443.
Check the DTC judgment result.
