Title: A25A-FKS (ENGINE CONTROL): SFI SYSTEM (w/o Canister Pump Module): P044313; Evaporative Emission System Purge Control Valve "A" Circuit Open; 2019 - 2020 MY RAV4 [11/2018 - 08/2020]

DTC

P044313

Evaporative Emission System Purge Control Valve "A" Circuit Open

DESCRIPTION

To reduce hydrocarbon (HC) emissions, evaporated fuel from the fuel tank is routed through a charcoal canister to the intake manifold for combustion in the cylinders.

The ECM changes the duty signals to the purge VSV (Vacuum Switching Valve for Purge Control) so that the intake amount of hydrocarbon (HC) emissions is appropriate for the driving conditions (engine load, engine speed, vehicle speed, etc.) after the engine is warmed up.

DTC No.

CONFIRMATION DRIVING PATTERN

  1. Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
  2. Turn the ignition switch to ON.
  3. Turn the Techstream on.
  4. Clear the DTCs (even if no DTCs are stored, perform the clear DTC procedure).
  5. Turn the ignition switch off and wait for at least 30 seconds.
  6. Turn the ignition switch to ON.
  7. Turn the Techstream on.
  8. Start the engine and warm it up until the engine coolant temperature is 75°C (167°F) or higher [A].

    HINT:

    The A/C switch and all accessory switches should be off.

  9. Idle the engine for 15 minutes or more [B].

    HINT:

    Check the EVAP (Purge) VSV item in the Data List. When the value of this item is between 5 and 95%, the judgment will be performed.

  10. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Trouble Codes [C].
  11. Read the pending DTCs.

    HINT:

    • If a pending DTC is output, the system is malfunctioning.
    • If a pending DTC is not output, perform the following procedure.
  12. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Utility / All Readiness.
  13. Input the DTC: P044313.
  14. Check the DTC judgment result.

    Techstream Display

    Description

    NORMAL
    • DTC judgment completed
    • System normal

    ABNORMAL
    • DTC judgment completed
    • System abnormal

    INCOMPLETE
    • DTC judgment not completed
    • Perform driving pattern after confirming DTC enabling conditions

    HINT:

    • If the judgment result shows NORMAL, the system is normal.
    • If the judgment result shows ABNORMAL, the system has a malfunction.
    • If the judgment result shows INCOMPLETE, perform steps [D] through [E].
  15. Drive the vehicle at a constant speed between 40 and 60 km/h (25 and 37 mph) for 10 minutes or more [D].

    CAUTION:

    When performing the confirmation driving pattern, obey all speed limits and traffic laws.

  16. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Trouble Codes [E].
  17. Read the pending DTCs.

    HINT:

    • If a pending DTC is output, the system is malfunctioning.
    • If a pending DTC is not output, perform the following procedure.
  18. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Utility / All Readiness.
  19. Input the DTC: P044313.
  20. Check the DTC judgment result.

    • Perform driving pattern after confirming DTC enabling conditions

    HINT:

    • If the judgment result shows NORMAL, the system is normal.
    • If the judgment result shows ABNORMAL, the system has a malfunction.
    • If the judgment result shows INCOMPLETE, perform the Confirmation Driving Pattern and check the DTC judgment result again.

WIRING DIAGRAM

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

NOTICE:

Inspect the fuses of circuits related to this system before performing the following procedure.

HINT:

Read Freeze Frame Data using the Techstream. The ECM records vehicle and driving condition information as Freeze Frame Data the moment a DTC is stored. When troubleshooting, Freeze Frame Data can help determine if the vehicle was moving or stationary, if the engine was warmed up or not, if the air fuel ratio was lean or rich, and other data from the time the malfunction occurred.

PROCEDURE

1.

PERFORM ACTIVE TEST USING TECHSTREAM (ACTIVATE THE EVAP PURGE VSV)

*a

VSV is on

*b

VSV is off

(a) Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.

(b) Disconnect the fuel vapor feed hose (on the canister side) from the purge VSV.

(c) Turn the ignition switch to ON.

(d) Turn the Techstream on.

(e) Start the engine.

(f) Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Active Test / Activate the EVAP Purge VSV.

Powertrain > Engine > Active Test

Tester Display

Activate the EVAP Purge VSV

(g) When the purge VSV is operated using the Techstream, check whether the port of the purge VSV applies suction to your finger.

OK:

Techstream Operation

Specified Condition

ON

Purge VSV port applies suction to finger

OFF

Purge VSV port applies no suction to finger

HINT:

Jiggle the wire harness and connector to increase the likelihood of detecting malfunctions that do not always occur.

OK

CHECK FOR INTERMITTENT PROBLEMS
