Canister Purge Solenoid: Description and Operation
EVAP PURGE VALVE OPERATION
If the EVAP purge valve does not seal properly, fuel vapors could enter the engine at an undesired time, causing driveability concerns. The PCM tests
for this by commanding the vent valve closed and the pressure switching valve open causing a vacuum, in the entire EVAP system. The PCM
continues to operate the purge valve until the vacuum is lowered to a specific point, at which time the purge valve is commanded closed. The PCM
monitors the fuel tank pressure (FTP) sensor. If the PCM does not detect a drop in vacuum , or the vacuum increased beyond the specified limit, for
two consecutive trips, the MIL will be illuminated, and a DTC P0441 will set.
