CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
A vacuum signal from the EVAP tank pressure control solenoid valve operates the tank pressure control valve. The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) controls the EVAP tank pressure control solenoid vacuum valve. The PCM opens the tank pressure control valve if the engine is running and if the fuel level is within a specified range. The tank pressure control valve opens in order to allow the flow of fuel vapors from the fuel tank to the EVAP canister. The DTC P1410 diagnostic determines if there is a failure in EVAP tank pressure control solenoid vacuum valve.

CONDITIONS FOR RUNNING THE DTC
^ The engine is running at a steady speed.
^ The engine is operating in Close Loop.
^ The fuel tank level is between 25 and 75 percent.

CONDITIONS FOR SETTING THE DTC
If the fuel level is higher than a specified value, low voltage is indicated in the solenoid control circuit when the diagnostic runs.

ACTION TAKEN WHEN THE DTC SETS
^ The PCM illuminates the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) after two consecutive ignition cycles in which the diagnostic runs with the fault active.
^ The PCM records the operating conditions at the time that the diagnostic fails. The Freeze Frame buffer stores this information.

CONDITIONS FOR CLEARING THE MIL/DTC
^ The MIL turns OFF after three consecutive trips, during which the diagnostic runs and there are not any faults that are detected.
^ A History DTC clears after 40 consecutive warm-up cycles without a fault.
^ Use the Clear DTC Information function on the scan tool, or disconnect the PCM battery feed in order to clear the DTC.

DIAGNOSTIC AIDS
Check for faulty electrical connections to the PCM.

A malfunctioning fuel level sensor may cause a DTC P1410 to set.

A fault in the circuits in the EVAP tank pressure control solenoid valve may cause an intermittent malfunction. Inspect the wiring harness and the components for any of the following conditions:
^ Backed out terminals
^ Incorrect mating of terminals
^ Broken electrical connector locks
^ Incorrectly formed terminals or damaged terminals
^ Faulty terminal-to-wire connections
^ Physical damage to the wiring harness
^ A broken wire inside the insulation
^ Corrosion of electrical connections, of splices, or of terminals

If a DTC P1410 cannot be duplicated, the Freeze Frame data can be useful in determining vehicle operating conditions when the DTC was set.

TEST DESCRIPTION
The numbers below refer to the step numbers in the Diagnostic Table.
1. The Powertrain OBD System Check prompts the technician to complete some basic checks and store the Freeze Frame data on the scan tool if applicable. This creates an electronic copy of the data taken when the fault occurred. The information is then stored in the scan tool for later reference.
2. This step checks the operation of the EVAP tank pressure control solenoid valve. The EVAP tank pressure control solenoid vacuum valve output control is disabled by the PCM when any DTCs are stored, when engine speed is indicated, and until the engine has reached a normal operating temperature of at least 80°C (176°F).
6. This step checks for a stuck open or leaking EVAP tank pressure control solenoid valve.
