Wow. This is one hell of a presentation Mike. So much information and detail. The motor current, purge valve screen, internals of the canister, terminology, charts, scope use, service information, answering questions live, and more! I'm consistently impressed with your depth of knowledge and natural talent for instructing. Thanks!
Hey John! Thanks, i'm glad you found the info useful! I hope you can put all this new found knowledge to use soon!

This is by far the best and information I've found on the net..I feel like I've learned something.awesome
Hey Kevin, thanks!!! That's what it's all about!

Hi Mike, been enjoying your channel. I'm an Ex Toyota Auto Instructor. I just wanted to add in addition to the Key Off Monitor there is a Purge Flow Monitor. The ECM monitors system pressure (Key on, engine running and warmed up) and once the purge valve opens the ECM looks for negative pressure. If no negative pressure the ECM turns on the vent valve to close it and if less than 3.00 mmHg drop, it assumes there is a problem with the purge valve and triggers a pending code of P0441.
Per the service manual, the vent valve on a key off system does not fully close (or seal the evap system when powered on). When smoke testing my 2013 xB one needs to disconnect the corrugated tubing connection at the vent opening of the canister and plug it on the canister. Else doing a smoke test from the purge hose (with back door closed) will show a small leak around the gas cap as that is where the vent tube attaches and opens to atmosphere.
Lastly, when getting 5 codes at once P043E, P043F, P2401, P2402, P2419 I have found the problem is no change in pressure when running Automatic/Manual Test Mode. Yet testing the vapor pressure sensor worked fine. On my car the vacuum pump would run electrically (you can hear it when powered using manual mode) but was mechanically bad. Repair was to replace the canister and leak detection pump as a unit.
Hello I am having a similar problem. I plugged the vent hose at the canister. I'm not seeing any leaks. I have a new gas cap ( Toyota) and a new Charcoal canister with new leak detection pump attached.(Toyota) still getting P0441 its come on as pending on the first drive cycle. I never see the vacuum come on by itself only manually through scan tool. It this be in the PCM it self? What is weried is the car came in with the MIL on P0441 but all monitors in the green? Please help
I went through exactly the same things you did in thne same order with no seal at the vent valve then all those codes after installing a new canistert that was faulty.
Very informative and invaluable video. Thanks for taking the time...
Hey Mike thanks again! Pretty soon you'll have watched all of these. I bet your head feels like it's going to explode!

excellent presentation Mike Toyota is getting better at evap systems from the early days VSV P0446 P0441 great pico tip thanks
Thanks Mark! Yota's come a long way...those old systems were the worst! I really like the new vacuum pump design...it's worked so well they've stuck with it for quite some time!

Your a awsum teacher . Help me before tks so much
Thanks Mark!

Thanks for sharing your knowledge Professor Becker! I was surprised the balloon you used in the demo wasn't pink like those yoga pants you found on sale at the mall last week? lol Excellent job explaining the subject, take care Mike.
Hey Glen, thanks for watching! Magenta...not pink! haha! Thanks! You take care as well!
Mike Becker, Technical Services Instructor
Awesome video. Thank you
Thanks for the tip with the pico gonna try that
That one tip alone made the class worth it for sure!
Mike Becker, Technical Services Instructor
very nice video, but i think your initial diagram showing the evap system circuit threw u off, that restrictor is not the 0.020, it clearly says 0.080. The diagram you want is a evap purge flow, it shows the postions of the CCV and LDP and pressure sensor better making the system easier to explain and understand. it also corolates better with the line graph showing vacuum in the system.
Thanks!
great vid and teaching Mike! a home DIY here. don't know if you are still reading comments on this 4-yr old vid, but i got a P1420 on 2006 Highlander Hybrid. what could be the possible causes? Thanks much! PS: replaced all the aged/cracked hose from the purge valve to canister. Thanks much!
Watching a bit late as busy during the day but at least I can still watch it. Thanks
Glad you could make it! Better late than never...so what did you link?

I have a question: What happens if purge valve is connected wrong such that air intake port and canister port are connected swapped, i.e. intake port is connected to canister and canister port is connected to intake? Does this cause any problem? Also what happens if vacuum does not hold on the canister port side while intake port holds vacuum perfectly?
I have an 06 Toyota Sequoia. I believe it uses a leak detection evap system. I am getting Check engine light accompanied by codes P0441 and p0455. I have checked the gas cap and it seems to be sealing properly and there is no smell of gas near the gas cap. I have also checked the hoses and none seem to be cracked or damaged.
Do you think it is a faulty Purge solenoid? Also my vehicle has a evap service port I am a novice diyer and do not know what I would use this port for.
I appreciate your in depth videos a little over my head but I am trying. Thanks
I noticed in the diagram about 1:03:00 in, that there's a line from the filler neck to the canister, but they draw it as isolated at the neck end and I assume that's wrong. I would assume that the canister is actually capturing fuel vapors during refueling through that line. You said fuel trims look funny during the initial opening for a purge. So should we occasionally have to see a brief negative fuel trim during a purge? Or does that clarify what the funny fuel trims are initially? Does the PCM know to look for it after refueling? Lastly, why is it I always have an even number of socks, but at least two of those pairs don't match anything else in the sock drawer?
Thanks, as always, for the excellent videos. :D
Hey Shaun, i think you're right. That line is for refueling. I think it was just misdrawn. The PCM understands that the purge is being opened but it really doesn't have a way to know what is in the canister. It could come out rich, or lean, depending on the fuel vapor concentration. As far as the socks...this is a mystery I have yet to solve too! hahah!
Mike Becker, Senior Instructor
You cant seal the syatem on these cars with the vent valve. the toyota info tells you that you have to smoke them by taking off the vent hose at the canister and pushing the smoke in the canister. I learned that he hard way lol
Nice video! What happens inside the leak detection pump to cause step 2 to not draw vacuum? "Reference orifice high-flow". Vacuum draws just fine in step 3.
Hello, Great Video. I am working on a 2012 Toyota Prius and getting codes P043E, P043F, P2401, P2402 and P2419. Does that mean my 0.02 orifice is bad? How can I tell if it is clogged or has hi-flow? I am not sure what to do next.
Thanks a Bunch in advance.
I have a similar Avalon that throws no codes, but it won't take gas when filling up. I wonder what it might be.
I have a code for my Lexus gx 470 code p0453 and the second code is p0451 .. would the most likely culprit be the sensor?? Or would it be the gas cap?? My gas cap is loose but idk if that’s what’s causing my code
what launch scanner are you using? does it do fob and module programming
So if I understand correctly, if you use a scan tool to close the canister vent solenoid and apply smoke to the system, no smoke should exit the vent solenoid? On my 2010 Rav4 3.5L I was getting P0456 (very small leak) and I closed the vent valve with my scan tool, smoked the system through the purge line and a small amount of smoke was coming from the vent line, when I would turn off the vent solenoid (open) then a lot of smoke would come out, it would decrease with turning on the vent solenoid (closed) but would never completely block off the smoke. I replaced the whole unit complete with canister/vent/pressure sensor ($840) with a Wells item (Wells actually used the OEM denso vent solenoid) and code P0456 is back, it appears a small amount of smoke is coming from the vent solenoid? I know I need to verify the + and - integrity at the connector while controlling with the scan tool, but if my understanding is correct, it is a bad brand new vent solenoid?
Hey Brandon, it's possible you are overcoming the limit of the vent solenoid with your smoke machine. I would physically pinch off the vent solenoid and see if you have a leak elsewhere.
Mike Becker, Senior Technical Instructor
I should re-state. The smoke is coming out of the leak detection pump, the amount changes with cycling of the vent solenoid via my scan tool. It is my understanding this pump has multiple parts inside including vacuum pump, pressure sensor, and vent solenoid.
On a 2010 RAV4 with recurrent EVAP codes P043E, P043F, P2401, P2402, P2419. The canister assembly had recently been replaced. I tried running an EVAP test in 'automatic' mode with my Autel and shortly after the vacuum pump kicks on I get an error stating "EVAP system check has failed. An unexpected error occurred." Scope data just shows the ECM shut power off to the vacuum pump at the same time this message occurs. I tried to run the EVAP test in 'manual' mode and it will sometimes run through the stages and will pop up with a line saying 'vacuum pump stopped to protect pump'. I monitored the vent control, vacuum pump control, vapor pressure signal, and purge control during these tests and did not notice anything alarming; however, it did not look like the pressure sensor voltage was decaying any with the vacuum pump running during the leak checks. I can bi-directionally control all parts of the canister assembly > the leak detection pump, canister vent, and checked the vapor pressure sensor and it is putting out around 3.6 volts. I am not sure what additional tests to do. Any suggestions or tips on further testing?
Hey Brandon, chances are the ECM is commanding the pump on, not seeing a change and then shutting it off. This happens with a stuck FTP sensor or a large leak issue. Have you smoke the system to confirm it doesn't have a big whole somewhere?
Mike Becker, Senior Instructor
@@GoTechTraining I have smoked the system and no large or small leaks found. This occurs during the 0.020" reference leak check and their is no decay of pressure sensor voltage during this check, which is also when the ECM stops the test in automatic mode. When you scoped the pressure sensor signal, the voltage seemed to fluctuate with a noisy signal and on mine I have a pretty stable signal (ranging from 3.62-3.67 volts) which I am not sure if that again points to a faulty pressure sensor or if it is model specific.
I have been using the beta version of Pico 7 just went back to Pico 6 so I could set the single trigger and long time base and get the continuous real time view, after 5x zoom and a long time base, my pressure signal looks like yours, but again does not decay. ECU only allows pump to run 14 seconds on reference leak check before shutting the pump off. I really appreciate your advise, despite being a new LDP/canister assembly I think the pressure sensor is either stuck or despite audible running the vacuum pump has no ability to actually create detectable vacuum.
Brandon, I've tinkered in PICO 7 as well. I keep finding myself back on PICO 6 at this point. As for your pressure sensor, can you force the vent closed with the scanner and jumper the purge? FORCE some vacuum in that system to see if it's able to draw down and see if the FTP responds accordingly. You can do the same thing with pressure from your smoke machine. At this point I'd verify the FTP is able to be moved prior to swapping anything out.
Mike Becker, Senior Instructor
@@GoTechTraining I hooked up the smoke machine and also applied vacuum manually, pressure sensor responded approximately to both. Of course now it is functioning normally and will run through the EVAP test without stopping, haha. I now have a known good to compare to my malfunctioning tracing (I would post a photo on here for others but don't think that is an option). On the known good, the signal voltage immediately drops the instant the vacuum pump turns on for the 0.020" reference check and continues on with the rest of the sequencing AND the system pressure definitely drops below the reference/comparison pressure during the system check as it should. On the bad trace there is absolutely no movement during the initial 0.020" reference check and after 14 seconds it turns the pump off. I think you were exactly right > the pressure sensor was stuck and ECU strategy was stopping pump; however, somehow became un-stuck. I am confident this will re-surface again. I really appreciate your insight.
Hey NGk, I have a Toyota Camry V6 2003 with code p0442 and p0446. Don't know what could be wrong.
Hey Civlife, could be purge solenoid related...best bet would be to test the system or take it into a shop for testing.
Mike Becker, Senior Technical Instructor
have a recurring p2420 code setting, any idea why 3 separate toyota brand LDP's would not make vacuum? the vacuum pumps run on all three LDPs but no vacuum is measured at any port or on the pid for the pressure sensor? we've tested each part of the EVAP system off the vehicle and also together on the vehicle. everything by the manual says we should be good, but still set that p2420 every time. not a lot on this code as far as diagnostic procedures. thanks in advance
Hey Silviasteeve, i'll take a look into this. What year/make/model are you working on?
Mike Becker, Senior Instructor
@@GoTechTraining 2010 tundra limited with 5.7. And actually we found that we did have initial vacuum, we just didn't know how this ldp worked until after watching this video. We have the initial -22mmhg, but the vent valve never opens to release vacuum and continue with the test. Vent valve also dies not operate when commanded. We replaced the pcm because at our pin a24-30 at the pc it's always ground. Same thing with our new pcm, it never switches
Question. So if you use a factory scantool (techstream) and perform the evap system check, it stores the data from the pressure sensor. Then when its complete you can go back to stored data,plot it in a graph, then u can compare it to the slide you showed (somewhere around the 35 min mark) i tried it with the snapon verus and it runs the test but doesnt give you a way to look back at it. Question is do you know if it possible to look back on the verus?
*33min mark
Hey K.A. unfortunately I don't know if you can see it with the techstream. I know for a fact though that you can throw a labscope on it and see the exact same thing. Slightly more work, but 100% accurate!
Mike Becker, Technical Services Instructor
Wells Vehicle Electronics thanks fpr the reply. Yeah techstream does it real nice(im a tech at toyota) i love this feature cause its easy to confirm a repair. Or confirm the condition. And also easy to explain to a sevice manger that its fixed cause they need fancy pictures;)
czcams.com/video/xubgil8NeYI/video.html
My answer is D
because if VSV is stuck close will computer is doing it's test it will also close the vent and then look for vacuum but if the Purge valve doesn't open then the system instead of creating vacuum will create pressure cause it's seal
And a physical restriction is not likely to happen
Okay yada yada yada..... Avalon too long and you just flew the Gen 2 Prius evaparotive system \bladder
Hey Mark, get everything you needed or do you have any further questions?
Mike Becker, Senior Technical Instructor
To start, I want to apologize for the smart comment.....the Avalon was not my personal interest...... however everything you showed was Toyota specific and informative and thank you l like the DTC chart and the bladder diagram thank you
@@GoTechTraining
Hey sorry about my early smart comments....just wanted to to say thank you l was trying to help someone with evaparotive system who was unsure about a Toyota Corolla pressure sensor
Thanks
Hey Mark, all good man! No worries :)
