thedrew Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 Hey Ya'll I have a new to me 97 Legacy Outback with the DOHC 2.5. I keep getting a p0441 DTC. I'm running out of ideas, so any ideas of things to check, please chime in! - Checked all the vacuum line connections, trimmed off a bit on each end and made sure there's a snug connection. - Sprayed each connection with starting fluid -- no change in idle. - Checked the purge solenoid. When hot wiring, it clicks. - Checked the Vacuum Switch Valve Solenoid, resistance is 41ohms - Checked the gas cap, sealed tight. - Checked the filler neck connection, seems free of rust - Checked the check valve @ the charcoal canister, seems to work Its driving me nuts! Any other ideas to check? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedrew Posted December 23, 2014 Author Share Posted December 23, 2014 what direction does the check valve on the charcoal canister go? Arrow towards or away from the fuel tank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keith3267 Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 Do you top off the gas tank when you fill up? Overfilling can cause this code, but it usually clears by itself in a couple of days. If you get it too often from overfilling, then the canister can be permanently damaged. Always stop on the first click. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikaleda Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 Pull the plastic cover off the filler neck. The filler necks like to rot out under this cover causing this code Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
