2.Turn the ignition switch ON (II).

Is the DTC P0443 indicated?


YES - Go to 3.


NO - Intermittent failure, system is OK at this time. Check for poor connections or loose terminals between the EVAP canister purge valve and at the ECM.n

Is there continuity?


YES - Go to 9.


NO - Replace the EVAP canister purge valve.n


9.Disconnect ECM/PCM connector B (24P).

10.Check for continuity between the EVAP canister purge valve 2P connector terminal No. 2 and body ground.

 

Is there continuity?


YES - Repair short in the wire between the EVAP canister purge valve and the ECM/PCM (B21).n


NO - Update the ECM/PCM if it does not have the latest software, or substitute a known-good ECM/PCM, then recheck. If the symptom/indication goes away with a known-good ECM/PCM, replace the original  ECM/ PCM.n

11.Turn the ignition switch OFF.
