DTC P0442

System Description

This diagnostic tests the evaporative emission (EVAP) system for a small leak when the key is turned OFF and
the correct conditions are met.

Heat is transferred into a vehicle fuel tank while the vehicle is operating. When the vehicle is turned OFF, a
change in the fuel tank vapor temperature occurs, which results in corresponding pressure changes in the fuel
tank vapor space. This change is monitored by the control module using the fuel tank pressure sensor input. The
control module then makes a judgement on the integrity of the system. With a 0.51 mm (0.020 in) leak in the
system, the amount of pressure change observed is significantly less than that of a sealed system.

If the control module detects a pressure change less than a calibrated amount, DTC P0442 sets.

z

The ignition is OFF.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

The control module detects a pressure change that is less than a calibrated amount.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

z

The control module illuminates the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) when the diagnostic runs and fails.

z

The control module records the operating conditions at the time the diagnostic fails. The control module
stores this information in the Freeze Frame/Failure Records.

Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC

z

The control module turns OFF the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) after 3 consecutive ignition cycles
that the diagnostic runs and does not fail.

z

A current DTC, Last Test Failed, clears when the diagnostic runs and passes.

z

A history DTC clears after 40 consecutive warm-up cycles, if no failures are reported by this or any other
emission related diagnostic.

z

Clear the MIL and the DTC with a scan tool.

Diagnostic Aids

z

To help locate intermittent leaks, use the J 41413-200 Evaporative Emissions System Tester (EEST) to
introduce smoke into the EVAP system. Move all EVAP components while observing smoke with the J
41413-SPT High Intensity White Light.

z

A condition may exist where a leak in the EVAP system only exists under a vacuum condition. By using
the scan tool PURGE/SEAL function to create a vacuum, seal the system and observe the FTP parameter
for vacuum decay, this type of leak may be detected.

z

To improve the visibility of the smoke exiting the EVAP system, observe the suspected leak area from
different angles with the J 41413-SPT .

z

For intermittent conditions, refer to Intermittent Conditions .

Test Description

The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table.

3: Introducing smoke in 15 second intervals may allow smaller leak areas to be more noticeable. When
the system is less pressurized, the smoke will sometimes escape in a more condensed manner.

5: This step verifies that repairs are complete and that no other condition is present.
