DTC P0447 EVAPORATIVE EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM VENT CONTROL CIRCUIT OPEN

DTC P0447 EVAPORATIVE EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM VENT CONTROL CIRCUIT OPEN

DTC DETECTING CONDITION:


Two consecutive driving cycles with fault

GENERAL DESCRIPTION


Important

After repair or replacement of faulty parts, conduct Clear Memory Mode and Inspection Mode .


WIRING DIAGRAM:


CHECK OUTPUT SIGNAL FROM ECM.

Turn ignition switch to ON.

Measure the voltage between ECM and chassis ground.

Connector & terminal

(B84) No. 11 (+) — Chassis ground (−):

Is the voltage more than 10 V?

Yes


No


CHECK FOR POOR CONTACT.

Check for poor contact in ECM connector.

Is there poor contact in ECM connector?

Yes

Repair poor contact in ECM connector.


No

The malfunction indicator light may light up, however, the circuit is returned to the normal status at the moment. (However, the possibility of poor contact still remains.)

Note

In this case, repair the following:

Poor contact in drain valve connector

Poor contact in ECM connector

Poor contact in coupling connector



CHECK HARNESS BETWEEN DRAIN VALVE AND ECM CONNECTOR.

Turn ignition switch to OFF.

Disconnect the connectors from drain valve and ECM.

Measure the resistance of harness between drain valve connector and chassis ground.

Connector & terminal

(R69) No. 2 — Chassis ground:

Is the resistance more than 1 MΩ?

Yes


No

Repair short circuit to ground in harness between ECM and drain valve connector.


CHECK HARNESS BETWEEN DRAIN VALVE AND ECM CONNECTOR.

Measure the resistance of harness between ECM and drain valve connector.

Connector & terminal

(B84) No. 11 — (R69) No. 2:

Is the resistance less than 1 Ω?

Yes


No

Repair harness and connector.

Note

In this case, repair the following:

Open circuit in harness between ECM and drain valve connector

Poor contact in coupling connector



CHECK DRAIN VALVE.

Measure the resistance between drain valve terminals.

Terminals

No. 1 — No. 2:

Is the resistance 10 — 100 Ω?

Yes


No

Replace the drain valve.


CHECK POWER SUPPLY TO DRAIN VALVE.

Turn ignition switch to ON.

Measure the voltage between drain valve and chassis ground.

Connector & terminal

(R69) No. 1 (+) — Chassis ground (−):

Is the voltage more than 10 V?

Yes


No

Repair harness and connector.

Note

In this case, repair the following:

Open circuit in harness between main relay and drain valve

Poor contact in coupling connector

Poor contact in main relay connector



CHECK FOR POOR CONTACT.

Check for poor contact in drain valve connector.

Is there poor contact in drain valve connector?

Yes

Repair poor contact in drain valve connector.


No
