P0447 EVAP Canister Vent Control Valve
Component Description
The EVAP canister vent control valve (1) is located on the EVAP canister (4) and is used to seal the canister vent.
This solenoid valve responds to signals from the ECM. When the ECM sends an ON signal, the coil in the solenoid valve is energized. A plunger will then move to seal the canister vent. The ability to seal the vent is necessary for the on board diagnosis of other evaporative emission control system components.
This solenoid valve is used only for diagnosis, and usually remains opened.
When the vent is closed, under normal purge conditions, the evaporative emission control system is depressurized and allows EVAP Control System diagnosis.

DTC Confirmation Procedure
NOTE:
If DTC Confirmation Procedure has been previously conducted, always perform the following before conducting the next step.
1 Turn ignition switch OFF and wait at least 10 seconds.
2 Turn ignition switch ON.
3 Turn ignition switch OFF and wait at least 10 seconds.
TESTING CONDITION:
Before performing the following procedure, confirm battery voltage is more than 11 V at idle.
1 Start engine and wait at least 8 seconds.
2 Check 1st trip DTC.
3 If 1st trip DTC is detected, go to "Diagnosis Procedure".
Diagnosis Procedure
1. INSPECTION START
Do you have SDT?
Yes or No
Yes
GO TO 2.
No
GO TO 3.
2. CHECK EVAP CANISTER VENT CONTROL VALVE CIRCUIT
With SDT
1 Turn ignition switch OFF and then ON.
2 Select "VENT CONTROL/V" in "Active test" mode with SDT.
3 Touch "ON/OFF" on SDT screen.
4 Check for operating sound of the valve.
Clicking noise should be heard.
OK or NG
OK
GO TO 7.
NG
GO TO 3.
3. CHECK EVAP CANISTER VENT CONTROL VALVE POWER SUPPLY CIRCUIT
1 Turn ignition switch OFF.
2 Disconnect EVAP canister vent control valve (1) harness connector.
- EVAP control system pressure sensor (2)
- Drain filter (3)
- EVAP canister (4)
- : Vehicle front
1 Turn ignition switch ON.
2 Check voltage between EVAP canister vent control valve terminal 1 and ground with SDT or tester.
OK or NG
OK
GO TO 5.
NG
GO TO 4.
4. DETECT MALFUNCTIONING PART
Check the following.
- Harness connectors E41, C1
- Harness for open or short between EVAP canister vent control valve and IPDM E/R
Repair harness or connectors.
5. CHECK EVAP CANISTER VENT CONTROL VALVE OUTPUT SIGNAL CIRCUIT FOR OPEN AND SHORT
1 Turn ignition switch OFF.
2 Disconnect ECM harness connector.
3 Check harness continuity between ECM terminal 117 and EVAP canister vent control valve terminal 2.
Refer to Wiring Diagram.
4 Also check harness for short to ground and short to power.
OK or NG
OK
GO TO 7.
NG
GO TO 6.
6. DETECT MALFUNCTIONING PART
Check the following.
- Harness connectors C1, E41
- Harness for open or short between EVAP canister vent control valve and ECM
Repair open circuit or short to ground or short to power in harness or connectors.
7. CHECK RUBBER TUBE FOR CLOGGING
1 Disconnect rubber tube connected to EVAP canister vent control valve.
2 Check the rubber tube for clogging.
OK or NG
OK
GO TO 8.
NG
Clean the rubber tube using an air blower.
8. CHECK DRAIN FILTER
Refer to "Component Inspection".
OK or NG
OK
GO TO 9.
NG
Replace drain filter.
9. CHECK EVAP CANISTER VENT CONTROL VALVE
Refer to "Component Inspection".
OK or NG
OK
GO TO 10.
NG
Replace EVAP canister vent control valve. Refer to [EVAP Canister: Removal and Installation] Service and Repair.
10. CHECK INTERMITTENT INCIDENT
Refer to [Service Information for Electrical Incident: Intermittent Incident] Service Information for Electrical Incident: Intermittent Incident.
INSPECTION END
Component Inspection
EVAP Canister Vent Control Valve
With SDT
1) Remove EVAP canister vent control valve from EVAP canister.
2) Check portion Bof EVAP canister vent control valve for being rusted.
If NG, go to next step.
3) Reconnect harness connectors disconnected.
4) Turn ignition switch ON.
5) Perform "VENT CONTROL/V" in "Active test" mode.
6) Check air passage continuity and operation delay time.
Check new O-ring is installed properly.
Operation takes less than 1 second.
If NG, go to next step.
7) Clean the air passage (portion Ato B) of EVAP canister vent control valve using an air blower.
8) Perform step 6 again.
9) If NG, replace EVAP canister vent control valve.
Without SDT
10) Remove EVAP canister vent control valve from EVAP canister.
11) Check portion B of EVAP canister vent control valve for being rusted.
12) Check air passage continuity and operation delay time under the following conditions.
Check that new O-ring is installed properly.
Operation takes less than 1 second.
If NG, go to next step.
13) Clean the air passage (portion A to B) of EVAP canister vent control valve using an air blower.
14) Perform step 3 again.
15) If NG, replace EVAP canister vent control valve.
Drain Filter
1) Check visually for insect nests in the drain filter air inlet.
2) Check visually for cracks or flaws in the appearance.
3) Check visually for cracks or flaws in the hose.
4) Blow air into port A and check that it flows freely out of port B.
5) Block port B.
6) Blow air into port A and check that there is no leakage.
7) If NG, replace drain filter.
