What is a purge valve in a Kia?

What is a purge valve in a Kia?

The purge valve is located in the vacuum line between the fuel vapor containment canister and the intake manifold. It opens at specific times to let fuel vapors stored in the canister be drawn into the intake manifold and burned as part of the combustion process.

What does a p0441 trouble code on a Kia mean?

A P0441 trouble code on a Kia means the ECM has detected an incorrect purge flow. Purge flow is part of the evaporative emissions system. When you fill up the tank, the fuel vapors are collected by the charcoal canister. When you start the engine, the ECM commands a purge operation to pull the vapor out of the canister and burn it in the engine.

What does the OBD code on a Kia mean?

The P0441 Kia code means that the control module has detected a leak in the Evaporative Emission (EVAP). Loose fuel tank filler cap is the most common cause that triggers the P0441 Kia code. What about the obd code? The Engine Control Module (ECM) tests the Evaporative Emission (EVAP) system for the following conditions:

Why do I get a p0441 code on my ECM?

Loose fuel tank filler cap is the most common cause that triggers the P0441 code. What does this mean? When is the code detected? The ECM monitors the Fuel Tank Pressure sensor in order to determine the level of vacuum/pressure in the EVAP system.

What causes the EVAP purge solenoid to be off?

The ECM commands the EVAP Purge Solenoid OFF once the system has reached a predetermined level of vacuum. This test verifies if a vacuum can be achieved in the EVAP system. Failure to develop a vacuum may be caused by a large leak or a restriction.
