Cost of diagnosing the P0441 DODGE code

  The cost of diagnosing the P0441 DODGE code is 1.0 hour of labor. The auto repair labor rates vary by location, your vehicle’s make and model, and even your engine type. Most auto repairs shops charge between $75 and $150 per hour.

When is the code detected

  Pressure in charcoal canister and fuel tank does not drop during purge control (2 trip detection logic)

Possible Symptoms

  • Engine Light ON (or Service Engine Soon Warning Light)
  • Possible a noticeable fuel odor caused by the release of fuel vapors

P0441 DODGE Description

  The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) 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 PCM monitors the Fuel Tank Pressure sensor in order to determine the level of vacuum/pressure in the EVAP system. The PCM 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 PCM 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.
