STEP 2. Using scan tool MB991958, check data list item 73:
Fuel Tank Differential Pressure Sensor.
(1) Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
(2) Remove the fuel cap.
(3) Set scan tool MB991958 to the data reading mode for item

73, Fuel Tank Differential Pressure Sensor.

• The fuel tank differential pressures should be −1.5 to 1.5

kPa (

−0.44 to 0.44 in.Hg).

(4) Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.
Q: Is the solenoid operating properly?

YES : Go to Step 3.
NO : Refer to, DTC P0451 - Evaporative Emission Control

System Pressure Sensor Range/Performance

P.13A-517

.

STEP 3. Using scan tool MB991958, check actuator test
item 08: Evaporative Emission Purge Solenoid.
(1) Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
(2) Set scan tool MB991958 to the actuator test mode for item

08, Evaporative emission purge solenoid.

• An operation sound should be heard and vibration

should be felt when the evaporative emission purge
solenoid is operated.

(3) Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.
Q: Is the solenoid operating properly?

YES : Go to Step 4.
NO : Replace the evaporative emission purge solenoid.

Then go to Step 5.

STEP 4. Using scan tool MB991958, check actuator test
item 29: Evaporative Emission Ventilation Solenoid.
(1) Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
(2) Set scan tool MB991958 to the actuator test mode for item

29, Evaporative emission ventilation solenoid.

• An operation sound should be heard and vibration

should be felt when the evaporative emission ventilation
solenoid is operated.

(3) Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.
Q: Is the solenoid operating properly?

YES : Repair or replace the vent hose and air filter. Then go

to Step 5.

NO : Replace the evaporative emission ventilation

solenoid. Then go to Step 5.

STEP 5 Test the OBD-II drive cycle.
(1) Carry out a test drive with the drive cycle pattern. Refer to

Diagnostic Function

− OBD-II Drive Cycle − Procedure 1 −

Evaporative Emission System Leak Monitor

P.13A-5

.

(2) Read the diagnostic trouble code.
Q: Is DTC P0441 set?

YES : Go to Step 1.
NO : This diagnosis is complete.

DTC P0442: Evaporative Emission Control System Leak Detected (Small Leak)

.

TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION

• To judge if there is leak in the fuel system, ECM

<M/T> or PCM <A/T> measure the change of the
pressure inside the fuel tank.

• The ECM <M/T> or PCM <A/T> turns on the

evaporative emission ventilation solenoid to shot
off the evaporative emission canister outlet port.

• Then the evaporative emission purge solenoid is

driven to set the fuel system into a negative pres-
sure.

• When the fuel system develops a vacuum of 2

kPa (0.29 psi), the evaporative emission purge
solenoid is turned "off" and the fuel system vac-
uum is maintained at 2 kPa (0.29 psi).

• The ECM <M/T> or PCM <A/T> determines if

there is leak in the fuel system by measuring the
change of vacuum inside the fuel tank.

• The test is stopped when fuel vapor pressure is

judged as too high.

.

DESCRIPTIONS OF MONITOR METHODS

• Measure reverting pressure after depressurizing

by intake manifold negative pressure and detect
malfunction if reverting pressure rises largely.

.

MONITOR EXECUTION

• Once per driving cycle.
