I have code P0443. How can I find out what is wrong?

To cause a P0443, there has to be a problem with the purge control CIRCUIT, not necessarily the valve. Usually they are a unit housing the valve and the solenoid as an assembly. Or it could be comprised of a separate solenoid with vacuum lines to a purge valve. That said, it could be any of the following:

• Bad purge solenoid (internal short or open)
• Wiring harness chafing or rubbing another component causing short or open on control circuit
• Connector worn, broken or shorted due to water intrusion
• Driver circuit inside powertrain control module (PCM) is bad

Code po443 is for EVAP purge solenoid malfunction which will cause the car to stall. Also over filling gas also causes the EVAP canister to choke with excess gas.
Please perform the following test the component failure:-
Tests/Procedures: 1. Monitor the purge solenoid for having 12v Key On Engine Running (KOER).

2. Using a voltmeter attached to the White wire, monitor for 12v to come and go.

3. Check the purge solenoid for clicking at idle. Tech Tips: If the voltage is alternating from 12-0 volts, that indicates that the ECM is trying to trigger the solenoid. If there is no clicking, the solenoid is faulty.

Fault Code:- P0443 Indicates a Power-train fault


The fault is generally due to a problem in the Emission Control area


Fault Description: EVAP canister purge valve circuit malfunction

Action of ECM:- ECM Default: - Canister purge inhibited - Adaptive fuel metering inhibited


After clearing the DTC, complete the Purge system monitor drivecycle
Check for a reoccurrence of fault DTC.

Possible Fault:- EVAP Canister purge valve to ECM drive circuit: open circuit, short circuit, high resistance EVAP Canister purge valve power supply circuit: open circuit, short circuit EVAP Canister purge valve operating vacuum hose leak / restriction EVAP Canister purge valve failure

P0441 Evaporative Emission Control System Incorrect Purge FlowOBD-II Trouble Code Technical Description

Evaporative Emission Control System Incorrect Purge Flow
What does that mean?

This indicates that a part of the EVAP control system is no longer functioning correctly. The EVAP system consists of many parts, including (but not limited to) the gas cap, fuel lines, carbon canister, purge valve, and other hoses. The (EVAP) emission control system prevents the escape of fuel vapors from a vehicle's fuel system. Fuel vapors are routed by hoses to a charcoal canister for storage. Later, when the engine is running a purge control valve opens allowing intake vacuum to siphon the fuel vapors into the engine.

EVAP emission canister purge is controlled by a valve which allows engine vacuum to pull stored fuel vapors from fuel tank into the engine to be burned, rather than be vented to atmosphere. A vacuum switch is used to detect when flow exists. If the PCM commands purge and sees that the switch is closed (indicating no detected purge flow) P0441 is set.
Symptoms

Likely, no symptoms will be discernible to the driver, other than the illuminated Check Engine Light.
Causes

A code P0441 could mean one or more of the following has happened:

• Bad vacuum switch
• Broken or damaged EVAP line or canister
• Open in PCM purge command circuit
• Open or short in Voltage feed circuit to Purge Solenoid
• Faulty purge solenoid
• Restriction in EVAP solenoid, line or canister
• Corrosion or resistance in purge connector
• Bad PCM

Possible Solutions

With a P0441 OBD-II trouble code, diagnosis can be tricky at times. Here are some things to try:

• Common Chrysler fix - Replace Leak Detection Pump / LDP
• Repair damaged EVAP lines or canister
• Repair open or short in voltage feed circuit to Purge Solenoid
• Repair open in PCM purge command circuit
• Replace purge Solenoid
• Replace vacuum switch
• Repair restriction in Evap line or canister or solenoid
• Repair resistance in purge connector
• Replace PCM

Other EVAP DTCs: P0440 - P0441 - P0442 - P0443 - P0446 - P0453 - P0455 - P0456

code is for fume purge control

P0443 Code is purge control valve circuit. Go to the driver side near the battery or better yet use the underhood sticker emission diagram That black cylinder is the canister,on it is the purge valve which hoses lead to the intake. make sure the hose are not torn,or leaking or disconnected if it is clear the code rerun the monitor (just drive it its 2 trip),because more likely that would be the code for P0443.Just because its a valve circuit doesnt mean its the valve circuit the ECM sent a command to purge and the MAP did not detect a purge,The ECM doesnt know if it is caused by a bad purge solenoid a disconnected line for the purge (normally closed) so it coded it if you want to fix it it is either the hose of the purge or the valve itself.

DTC P0443 - Evaporative emission control system Canister Purge control valve (CANP) or vapor management valve (VMV) circuit malfunction.
Your cars computer is telling you there is a leak. But most of the time when the system is smoke tested, the tech comes up empty handed. This is because the leak is intermittent. There are several solenoids that can do this on your evap system. The purge valve and the vent valve are the most common. Looks like it is going to be your purge valve.

That said, it could be any of the following:

Bad purge solenoid (internal short or open)
Wiring harness chafing or rubbing another component causing short or open on control circuit
Connector worn, broken or shorted due to water intrusion
Driver circuit inside powertrain control module (PCM) is bad


Code P0443 - Evaporative emission control system Canister Purge control valve (CANP) or vapor management valve (VMV) circuit malfunction. The PCM expects to see battery voltage when the solenoid is commanded off and voltage under 1 volt when the solenoid is commanded on.

Enabling conditions: Run engine off and running self tests to check this code. Blocking Action: This code can block the following monitors: Fuel Control, O2 monitor, Catalyst Monitor, misfire monitor. Testing: Check to see if the purge solenoid will block vacuum when it's off and pass vacuum when it's turned on. Typical resistance is 50 to 100 ω.

Hope helps.

maybe a fuse is blown? did you have the mechanic check the fuses? or even check all your relays and wiring?

danbalue, a code P1765 means Transmission 12V Supply Relay Control Conditions and P1494 means EVAP LDP Pressure Switch Fault Conditions.

I found info on the following codes:
P0443 - http://www.obd-codes.com/p0443
P1494 - http://www.check-engine-light.com/dodge

Good luck.
