A25A-FXS (ENGINE CONTROL): SFI SYSTEM: P044313; Evaporative Emission System Purge Control Valve "A" Circuit Open; 2021 - 2024 MY RAV4 RAV4 HV [08/2020

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

The ECM changes the duty signals to the purge VSV so that the intake amount of evaporated fuel routed to the cylinders is appropriate for the driving conditions (engine load, engine speed, vehicle speed, etc.) after the engine is warmed up.

CONFIRMATION DRIVING PATTERN

Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
Turn the ignition switch to ON.
Turn the Techstream on.
Clear the DTCs (even if no DTCs are stored, perform the clear DTC procedure).
Turn the ignition switch off and wait for at least 30 seconds.
Turn the ignition switch to ON.
Turn the Techstream on.
Put the engine in Inspection Mode (Maintenance Mode).

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 accessories should be off.
Idle the engine for 15 minutes or more [B].
HINT:

Check the Data List item "EVAP (Purge) VSV". When the value of this item is between 5 and 95%, the judgment will be performed.
Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Trouble Codes [C].
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.
Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Utility / All Readiness.
Input the DTC: P044313.

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 is malfunctioning.
If the judgment result shows INCOMPLETE, perform steps [D] and [E].
[A] to [C]: Normal judgment procedure.
The normal judgment procedure is used to complete DTC judgment and also used when clearing permanent DTCs.
When clearing the permanent DTCs, do not disconnect the cable from the auxiliary battery terminal or attempt to clear the DTCs during this procedure, as doing so will clear the universal trip and normal judgment histories.

With the engine running, 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.

HINT:

If the engine stops, further depress the accelerator pedal to restart the engine.
Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Trouble Codes [E].
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.
Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Utility / All Readiness.
Input the DTC: P044313.

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 is malfunctioning.
[A] to [E]: Normal judgment procedure.
The normal judgment procedure is used to complete DTC judgment and also used when clearing permanent DTCs.
When clearing the permanent DTCs, do not disconnect the cable from the auxiliary battery terminal or attempt to clear the DTCs during this procedure, as doing so will clear the universal trip and normal judgment histories.

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

NOTICE:

Inspect the fuses for circuits related to this system before performing the following procedure.
Vehicle Control History may be stored in the hybrid vehicle control ECU assembly if the engine is malfunctioning. Certain vehicle condition information is recorded when Vehicle Control History is stored. Reading the vehicle conditions recorded in both the freeze frame data and Vehicle Control History can be useful for troubleshooting.

If any "Engine Malfunction" Vehicle Control History item has been stored in the hybrid vehicle control ECU assembly, make sure to clear it. However, as all Vehicle Control History items are cleared simultaneously, if any Vehicle Control History items other than "Engine Malfunction" are stored, make sure to perform any troubleshooting for them before clearing Vehicle Control History.

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

(a) Disconnect the fuel vapor feed hose assembly (canister side) of the purge VSV.

Powertrain > Hybrid Control > Utility

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

Powertrain > Engine > Active Test

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

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