P0441 Volvo EVAP System Incorrect Purge Flow

P0441 Volvo EVAP System Incorrect Purge Flow

Possible causes
– Missing Fuel cap
– Incorrect fuel filler cap used
– Fuel filler cap remains open or fails to close
– Foreign matter caught in fuel filler cap
– Incorrect fuel tank vacuum relief valve
Tech description
The P0441 Volvo 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 Volvo code.
What about the obd code?
Pressure in charcoal canister and fuel tank does not drop during purge control (2 trip detection logic)
Symptoms
– Engine Light ON (or Service Engine Soon Warning Light)
– Possible a noticeable fuel odor caused by the release of fuel vapors
P0441 Volvo Description

The Engine Control Module (ECM) tests the Evaporative Emission (EVAP) system for the following conditions:

– Large and small leaks

– Excess vacuum

– Purge flow during non-commanded conditions

– Fuel Level and Fuel Pressure sensor faults

– EVAP Purge and Vent Valve faults

The ECM monitors the Fuel Tank Pressure sensor in order to determine the level of vacuum/pressure in the EVAP system. The ECM commands both the EVAP Purge Solenoid and the EVAP Vent Valve ON when the conditions are met in order to apply an engine vacuum to the EVAP system. 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.
