Hi,

P0441: Evaporative Emission Control System - Incorrect Purge Flow

This indicates that a part of the EVAP control system is no longer fuctioning 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.

Possible causes:

  • 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

Possible solutions:

  • Replace Leak Detection Pump / LDP (if applicable to your vehicle)
  • 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 soleniod
  • Repair resistance in purge connector

  • Check ALL the above until you correct the issue. NEVER replace PCM, unless you prove the PCM to be faulty (as a last resort).

    Cheers,

    SOURCE: how to erase toyota camry code obd 1

    Hello, and welcome to FIxYa.

    To erase the check engine light on a 1994 Camry, open the hood, and, in the engine compartment fuse box, remove the blue 15 amp EFI fuse for one minute. This will clear the codes. If you have a hard code; ie a malfunctioning sensor, the light will come right back on.

    Thanks for choosing FixYa for assistance.

    Most common problem causing this code is the purge solenoid. A quick smoke test will show if you have any leaks in the system. If no leaks and the fuel cap is installed properly it's the purge solenoid.

    1997 Camry v6 code po450 and po441

    The P0441 OBD-II code is relatively rare (at least for Toyotas). It indicates an Evaporative Emission Control System Incorrect Purge Flow. The EVAP system manages gasoline vapor evaporation from the gas tank and fuel systems. It consists of several parts, but works relatively simply.
    P0450 is Evap Control System pressure sensor low input

    My engine check indication light come on with error code p0441

    These codes are emission control related and indicate a leak in the fuel evaporative system, this is a complicated system and requires technicians that really know what they are doing to diagnose.
    If you want to try a simple repair yourself replace the gas cap with a OEM unit from the toyota dealer, that's about all I can recommend, if that doesn't help it's time to get some help from real professionals that can diagnose this kind of problem, there is a battery of tests that must be performed to isolate this problem, my best advice is to get the toyota dealer involved.

    1998 toyota camry V6

    P0420 indicates you have a catalyst efficiency issue; replacement of the Air-Fuel Sensor should take care of that;
    The P0441, P0446 and (I assume P0440); you said 446 twice, indicates a faulty or loose fuel cap; it is not sealing properly.
    Please feel free to respond to me if you have any further questions.
    A FixYa rating from you regarding my assistance would be greatly appreciated.
