P1444
SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
This system controls flow rate of fuel vapor from the EVAP canister. The opening of the vapor by-pass passage in the EVAP canister purge volume control valve changes to control the flow rate. A built-in step motor moves the valve in steps corresponding to the ECM output pulses. The opening of the valve varies for optimum engine control. The optimum value stored in the ECM is determined by considering various engine conditions. When the engine is operating, the flow rate of fuel vapor from the EVAP canister is regulated as the air flow changes.
COMPONENT DESCRIPTION
The EVAP canister purge volume control valve uses a step motor to control the flow rate of fuel vapor from the EVAP canister. This motor has four winding phases. It operates according to the output pulse signal of the ECM. Two windings are turned ON and OFF in sequence. Each time an ON pulse is issued, the valve opens or closes, changing the flow rate. When no change in the flow rate is needed, the ECM does not issue the pulse signal. A certain voltage signal is issued so that the valve remains at that particular opening.

With Generic Scan Tool
(1) Lift up vehicle.
(2) Start engine and warm it up to normal operating temperature.
(3) Select "MODE 1" with GST.
(4) Check coolant temperature.
Coolant temperature: 40 - 100°C (104 - 212°F)
Be sure that water temperature does not exceed 10000.
If it becomes higher than 10000, cool down the engine and perform the procedure again from the beginning.
(5) Turn ignition switch "OFF" and wait at least 5 seconds.
(6) Restart engine and let it idle for at least 100 seconds.
(7) Maintain the following conditions for at least 80 seconds.
Gear position: Suitable gear position
Vehicle speed: 30 - 100 km/h (19 - 62 MPH)

(8) Select "MODE 7" with GST
NOTE:
- Hold the accelerator pedal as steady as possible during driving in step 7.
- If the driving conditions are not satisfied in step 7, restart the procedure.
- It is better that the fuel level is low.

Without Consult
(1) Lift up vehicle.
(2) Start engine and warm it up to normal operating temperature.
(3) Check voltage between ECM terminal G5 and ground
Voltage: 0.8 - 1 .5V
Perform the following procedure before the voltage drops below 0.8V. If the voltage drops below 0.8V, cool down the engine and perform the entire procedure all over again.
(4) Turn ignition switch "OFF" and wait at least 5 seconds.
(5) Restart engine and let it idle for at least 100 seconds.
(6) Maintain the following conditions for at least 80 seconds.
Gear position: Suitable gear position
Vehicle speed: 30 - 100 km/h (19 - 62 MPH)
Engine speed: 1,000 - 3,000 rpm
Check voltage between ECM terminal (51) and ground: 0.8- 1.5V
(7) Turn ignition switch "OFF", wait at least 5 seconds, and then turn "ON".
