Circuit Description

An ignition voltage is supplied directly to the evaporative emission (EVAP) canister vent valve. The control module controls the EVAP vent valve by grounding the control circuit via an internal driver switch. The primary function of the driver is to supply ground for the controlled component. The control module monitors the status of the driver. If the control module detects an incorrect voltage for the commanded state of the driver, DTC P0449 sets.
