DTC P0442:00

EVAP system leak detected (small leak)

DTC P0455:00

EVAP system leak detected (gross leak/no flow)

DETECTION CONDITION
• P0442:00 indicates that a leak has been detected as small as 1 mm {0.04 in} in the EVAP vapor management valve solenoid system when there is less than 0.809 kPa {6.09 mmHg, 0.24 inHg} bleed-up over 20 s at 75 % fuel fill. Bleed-up and evaluation time vary as a function of fuel fill level. The vapor generation limit is more than 0.286 kPa {2.15 mmHg, 0.085 inHg} over 150 s.
• P0455:00 indicates that a substantial leak or blockage has been detected in the EVAP system when there is −1.94 kPa {−14.6 mmHg, −0.575 inHg} or less vacuum for 20 s evaluation time.
Diagnostic support note
• This is an intermittent monitor (EVAP system).
• The MIL illuminates if the PCM detects the above malfunction condition in two consecutive drive cycles or in one drive cycle while the DTC for the same malfunction has been stored in the PCM.
• PENDING CODE is available if the PCM detects the above malfunction condition during the first drive cycle.
• FREEZE FRAME DATA (Mode 2)/Snapshot data is available.
• DTCs are stored in the PCM memory.

Diagnostic procedure

STEP

INSPECTION

ACTION

1
VERIFY FREEZE FRAME DATA (MODE 2)/SNAPSHOT DATA AND DIAGNOSTIC MONITORING TEST RESULTS HAVE BEEN RECORDED
• Have the snapshot data and DIAGNOSTIC MONITORING TEST RESULTS (EVAP system related) been recorded?
Yes
Go to the next step.
No
Record the FREEZE FRAME DATA (Mode 2)/snapshot data and DIAGNOSTIC MONITORING TEST RESULTS on repair order, then go to the next step.
2
VERIFY RELATED SERVICE INFORMATION AVAILABILITY
• Verify related Service Information availability.
• Is any related Service Information available?
Yes
Perform repair or diagnosis according to the available Service Information.
• If the vehicle is not repaired, go to the next step.
No
Go to the next step.
3
VERIFY RELATED PENDING CODE AND STORED DTC
• Turn the ignition switch off, then to the ON position (engine off).
• Perform the DTC Reading Procedure and Pending Trouble Code Access Procedure. (See ON-BOARD DIAGNOSTIC TEST [L3 Turbo].)
• Are any other DTCs present?
Yes
Go to the appropriate DTC troubleshooting.
No
Go to the next step.
4
VERIFY DTC FOR LARGE LEAK
• Is the P0455:00 stored?
Yes
Verify that the purge solenoid valve is not blocked.
• If the purge solenoid valve is functioning correctly and receiving engine vacuum:
― Go to the next step.
No
Go to the next step.
5
PRELIMINARY LEAK TEST
• Perform the EVAP system leak inspection using the M-MDS.
• Verify that all PIDs are within the following specifications:
Note
• To successfully perform this procedure, all PIDs must be within specification before proceeding to the next step.
― Select the following items from the initialization screen of the M-MDS.
― Select “Powertrain”.
― Select “Fuel”.
― Select “EVAP Test”.
― Verify that ECT and IAT are within specification at the confirmation screen. To successfully perform this procedure, ECT and IAT must be within specification before proceeding to the next step.
― The fuel level must be maintained within 15%—85%. The PCM will cancel the EVAP test if the fuel level is lower than 15% or higher than 85%.
― Allow the M-MDS to run the EVAP test.
• Does the M-MDS indicate an EVAP system leak exists?
Yes
Go to the next step.
No
Go to Step 8.
6
PRELIMINARY LEAK TEST
• Tighten the fuel-filler cap then repeat the EVAP system leak inspection using the M-MDS again.
• Verify that all PIDs are within the following specifications:
Note
• To successfully perform this procedure, all PIDs must be within specification before proceeding to the next step.
― Select the following items from the initialization screen of the M-MDS.
― Select “Powertrain”.
― Select “Fuel”.
― Select “EVAP Test”.
― Verify that ECT and IAT are within specification at the confirmation screen. To successfully perform this procedure, ECT and IAT must be within specification before proceeding to the next step.
― The fuel level must be maintained within 15%—85%. The PCM will cancel the EVAP test if the fuel level is lower than 15% or higher than 85%.
― Allow the M-MDS to run the EVAP test.
• Does the M-MDS still indicate an EVAP system leak exists?
Yes
Go to the next step.
No
The fuel cap was not properly tightened.
Go to Step 14.
7
VISUALLY INSPECT COMPONENTS FOR LEAKS
• Verify that the CV solenoid valve is properly seated on the charcoal canister.
• Visually inspect for cut or loose connections to the fuel vapor hoses/tubes in the following locations:
― Charcoal canister to CV solenoid valve.
― Charcoal canister to evaporative emission valve component.
― Evaporative emission valve component to the fuel tank (if applicable).
― Check for fuel-filler pipe damage.
• Is a concern with a hose, tube, connection or valve visually evident?
Yes
Repair or install a new component if necessary. Afterwards, verify that the leak is repaired by repeating diagnostic Step 5.
• If the leak is repaired:
― Go to Step 14.
No
Go to the next step.
8
CALIBRATE THE LEAK TESTER FOR DIAGNOSIS
• Verify that the control valve on the panel is in the HOLD position then open the nitrogen bottle valve.
acxuuw00004176
• Connect the EVAP Tester Hose (part of the SST) to the SELF-TEST port located on the control panel. Hand tighten the fitting. (Do not overtighten.)
• Turn the control valve to the TEST position; the gauge should read 331—381 mm {13—15 in} of water.
Note
• If the gauge is not reading in this range, adjust the pressure by turning the black knob on the low pressure regulator at the nitrogen bottle.
ac9uuw00002961
• After verifying the regulator is properly calibrated, turn the control valve to the HOLD position.
• Verify that the gauge holds pressure and that the flow meter reads no flow.
• Does the gauge hold pressure and the flow meter read no flow?
Yes
Go to the next step.
No
Refer to the tester operator's manual for tester repair instructions.
9
PRESSURIZE THE EVAP SYSTEM WITH NITROGEN TO TEST FOR LEAKS
• Verify that the control valve on the panel is in the HOLD position then open the nitrogen bottle valve.
• Disconnect the purge solenoid valve hose from the intake manifold and insert SST AKS042808 into the purge solenoid valve hose.
am6xuw00002679
• Connect the EVAP Tester Hose to SST AKS042808.
• Connect the M-MDS to the DLC-2.
