2010 Ford Escape A front wheel drive only 2.5 liter dope four-cylinder with 139 513 miles on the odometer. p0443 EVAP System Purge Control Circuit Nothing happening at the purge valve. There is no flow, no vacuum. Let's connect a a test load to the connector and if the test load begins to respond to commands then we know that the ECM and the wiring is good and that the valve itself is faulty.
I have a known good purge valve. It's good. On the electronic side, it is not good. On the ceiling side, this thing had a leak.
We're going to connect these pins to the wiring harness and we should see or hear this valve actuating. It's going to go open, close up and close up and close very rapidly. If it does, then we know that the circuit and that the ECM are in good condition and that will confirm that that purge valve down there has failed. It would need to be replaced.
Okay, plugging that one in, plugging that one in need to get on there. Oh yeah, look at that, you hear it. So this purge valve is functioning. No, it's opening and closing like it should here.
All right, that's confirmed. Kill That's a Diag on the purge valve. We're gonna need to replace the purge valve in this.
Wouldn’t a voltage test be adequate? Or had been trying to make an educational point?
For the DIY to save money, the purge valve could be repaired. I had a P0456 on the same Ford 2.5L engine: "Slow Leak". Removed valve. On the bench with pressure tester, I confirmed that, with no voltage applied, valve was not sealing when closed. I applied 12VDC to it and sprayed brake cleaner in it. Lots of carbon black dirt gunk came out. More WD-40 and brake cleaner and valve was clicking open and closed when I connected/disconnected the 12V power. cleaned it more, then let it dry. It was then sealing again confirmed with pressure tested. Installed it and it is working as it should.
I've been trying pretty hard to find a channel like this in the sense that it's informative and educational, but on high end/expensive vehicles. I can't find any at all and have tried all sorts of search terms. If you know of a channel, please comment the link on one of my seriously old and pathetic videos to avoid advertising here. Thank you!
Purrs like a kitten 😂
Fuel length? Google translate please help.
But what about the radio…….
20230711-Tu.1519, 😎 Wow! 🍀Tech' Edition. ❤ Yup, share that K[nowledge]. 👍
My car has code 446 when the gas gets down to about a quarter of a tank. The mechanic said thought it was just the gas cap but I replace the gas cap with an oem and it does the same thing. There's no symptoms in the car doesn't seem to be losing power or gas mileage and it doesn't have any other codes, I contemplated replacing the vent control circuit but with the amount of things to diagnose I realized I should probably bring it to a mechanic. Seeing this video gave me a good idea of what I would be up against if I tried to diagnose it myself. Difficult to find one's like this on the internet! Thank you
👍
I have a po442..small leak…they looked for.2 hours and found nothing..still cost me $100 and iam no farther then when I took it in… so pissed..
Take the evap and get rid of it, we do not have this in Norway and most of the wourld
Ray thanks for the quickie! 🏁
I had to diagnose one of these myself in a 90's V6 Duratec because the local shops unsuccessfully fixed it after firing the parts cannon at it. I also found a bunch of broken parts when I diagnosed it. This is when I stopped overpaying incompetent people to work in my cars and started doing it myself.
Eric O. did one if these recently too on a 90's Ford Ranger. Wow! I wish mine was this easy to get to as these were. Mine was buried under tge throttle body.
Thank you. I've been pronouncing Escape wrong all these years. How do you pronounce Focus?
Another Petulant Purge Valve. Feature That !!
Too short need longer videos
A true TECHNICIAN!!
Brilliant mechanic. Great watching and learning
Well that was quick. That's what she said. 😉
Look at that, Rookie has new test leads, now if we can get him to stop using a volt meter to test loaded circuits he would be in good shape.
64th! GOOD MORNING RAY AND THE WIFE UNIT! A shout out to the two new employees! Roger in Pierre South Dakota
Welcoming back!
Yep its 4am cst and I just got a daily dose.
I love having "Known Good Parts" to do diagnostics with.
Listen to it clicking over the sound of a rough idling engine yeh right!
RATZ! Saw this in my notifications and thought :"AHA"! I've been chasing a Gremlin (not the AMC kind) in my '05 Pontiac Grand Prix GT2 for a few days now. Then I looked at my notes from when I scanned and cleared the code and I'm getting PO446! Evap vent control circuit. Gotta dig a little deeper I guess… 🤔
I kept getting code p0442 on my Ford Freestar. I looked at the purge valve, and discovered the valve had a crack and leaking vapor. The hose on the other end under the left rear wheel well cover also had a crack. I replaced the hose, and valve. That has cured the problem. When you have to replace the purge valve on the Freestar, you have to remove the lower cowl, and cowl cover. When replacing the lower cowel you have to seal it with silicone, and camper tape to keep water out of the PCM module. The valve you have on this video also looks exactly like the one I took out of my Freestar. The only difference is the mounting bracket which is easily removed to allow for a different style of bracket is different. I have also seen this valve used on the F150.
Another fake repair video. Just happen to have a good part setting around.
Caused by topping off the tank?
Ray is best with diagnose with sensors and switches.
Hm .. shorty
I had to go back and watch one from 2 years ago.
No Ray with Coffee this morning made for sad morning.
Ray where is a normal video PLEASE 🙏 RAY.
Your video isn't very big around. But it sure is short. : )
If this was tomorrow’s video today, what will I watch tomorrow?
You're late.
😉👍
TOO FUNNY!! I have the P0497 on my 2005 Volco xc70 needing the EVAP Vapor Canister Purge Valve!🤣
Down to the wire! Thought I was going to have a day without a Ray video
Midnight video drop whatttt
The true followers can’t sleep until they get their daily dose of Rainman Ray, no matter the time of day
Good morning Ray
I couldn’t fall asleep and just got this notification. Hopefully I can push paws and wait to watch it with my coffee in the morning.😎 oh goody I just noticed it’s a short one whew back to watching cat videos
Who keeps broken parts to test faulty future parts? Brilliant, but now I'm kicking myself for not keeping parts….
You had to be somewhere, but YT requires that you post X number of content, and you came up with this. 😂
Hey, you have to meet your commitments, right? 😊
Dang, didn't even get my coffee made!
Your the man Ray click
