- Hi Everyone: This Toyota Echo has three codes, P0440 the evap system, P0441 Incorrect purge flow and P0446 evap vent control circuit.When you have these three codes the Diagnostic Information states to start with P0441. As you can see in the video there are several visual problems that you don't need a smoke machine to find.For more information be sure to visist: www.johnsadlers...
See!?! THIS is the kind of information that those of us who like to work on cars but are not mechanics need. We can read all the manuals we want and get every drop of information from Google we can find but, it can't replace experienced knowledge like this.
Thanks Curtis!!!
Wow a real mechanic. Actually solving the problem instead of just throwing parts at it.
You went over things exactly as I would John. I've been a tech for almost 40 years and you're a breath of fresh air. I have seen so many techs that have no clue what they're doing and throw expensive parts at cars hoping it will fix it. You're doing a great job!!
Thanks Chris !!!
Amen. Honest work is the only way to do it. Thanks for putting the information online
Thanks for the video. I had a P0440 code today on my 2002 Echo. The hose going to the air cleaner housing was cracked. $1.79 plus tax for a hose at NAPA. No more code. Love my Echo.
You're such an inspiration man, when I was a kid, I saw mechanics take advance of the lack of knowledge my mom had of cars, I wouldn't release it then, but now that I'm studying for auto tech, I noticed many things & I plan to he an honest man like you when it comes to this line of work.
Eric Rivas Thanks Eric!!!
Very good, your Karma will always be good if you help and are honest, overall people will love to deal with you.
Found this video on a google
Search. Check engine light came on when I was driving tonight. Read the codes got all three. Followed the steps you outlined. Hose off at the air box. Fixed in less than 30’seconds in the dark with a cel phone light on the rain. Thank you for the great video.
Your very welcome Markku!!!
John, I commend you for your honesty, keep up the good work , God bless you and your fammily.
Thanks Miguel !!!!!! God bless you and your family also.....
I have a 2001 Toyota Highlander Limited and I had the same codes popped and after seeing this video I found the disconnected vacuum line right behind the air box. Thank you for pointing this out.
Your very welcome Wesley!
Thank you so very much!!! Before we could finish the video, my daughter popped the hood of her car and we found that the hose was disconnected, she reconnected it and 🤩😍😎 all good. You are a blessing, may your business continue to prosper. By the way, the hose was not reconnected after an oil change.
Your very welcome!!! Glad to help!
Thanks for this.... my shop replaced the whole assembly a few years back on my 2000 Echo. Hundreds of dollars. Also replaced gas cap w an aftermarket cap -- that's been OK. The car is pretty low miles for its age (180,000) but runs very well w some TLC (just replaced an injector and the MAF). Most of the time it gets in the very high 30s or even low 40s (on a long run) for mileage. I really appreciated your effort to save the customer $. Good on you!
Thanks Richard!!!
I can only agree. Great diagnosis, improvises to save the customer money and is honest. No wonder you look pleased with yourself. You should. Great job man.
John Smith Thanks John!
I started getting these codes the day after I had my oil changed. Sure enough, the oil change place forgot to reconnect the hose under the hood. You saved me a trip to the mechanic. Thank you!
Your very welcome Brian!
honest mechanic. well done sir. another well save & service job done.
Thanks Jonathan !!!
Where are all the J.S.’s of the World. I stopped going to dealerships because I kept getting robbed. That’s when I started doing my own cars. It’s nice to see a guy that has his own shop and is doing well. Great video.
Thanks Grey Ghost !!!
You may have just saved me $500+ for my '04 Echo. I'm going to Nappa to get a 5/8 heater hose tonight. I'm excited to get this sorted. I'll change the purge hose and gas cap while I'm at it. At a fraction of the cost, I'm more than willing to do so.
Great !!! Keep me posted how it does.
Hey, another member of the 2004 Echo Club! Good luck with yours. When getting new tires put on mine tomorrow and I think I'm going to have them look at the EVAP line at the same time.
Did you end up fixing it? And if so what was the problem?
After watching this video I’m finally convinced I need a new fuel cap. My Tacoma has been throwing p0440 for weeks and my gas cap also has some tiny cracks on the gasket. I will be ordering original Toyota part ASAP
Awesome!!!
I have all 3 codes, got to the 2 min mark and remembered that my echo had a recent service. Paused video, went to check and there it was, a disconnected hose. Hope that fixes the problem. Great video, thanks you very much.
Your very welcome Mark!
Thank you!!! This video has the exact 3 codes my camry shows and reading it off Google wasn't nearly as helpful as this video was.
Your very welcome!!!
I got these codes TWICE from the stupid aftermarket gas caps. Thank God it wasn't something major.
Honest Mechanic and job well done, we need more like you! God bless you
John sir, I have a place to start now - after all of my stress! I'm so glad I found you and all the rest of the good folks - trying to help us on TH-cam God Bless You :P
Your Welcome Ron! God Bless you also!
Hi John, I bought an Echo 2001 for my daugther and the car have these 3 codes. I will check everything during the week ends. Thanks for your great video and your good tips!
Martin Desrosiers Your very welcome Martin
Great video, thank you very much. I was the "mechanic" who accidentally disconnected the hose at the air filter, resulting in the engine light turning on.
Saved me lots of time and money.
+Kirk Jensen Your Welcome Kirk
You have so many positive comments from so many viewers that you help/have helped. The Echo is such a good car, if only other drivers would stop smashing into mine! I'd still me driving my 1st, but am now on my third, were it not for other drivers totaling my first two Echos. Thanks for your help in keeping them running. After watching your video, I checked my breather hose, and sure enough, I must have forgotten to reconnect it after previously checking an engine light issue. Now the codes are cleared again, and I'll soon be taking in my 2000 Echo for a SMOG check. Thank you.
Sad to hear about your other Echos! They run along time. Your very welcome John!
Had the P0440, P0441, and P0446 codes and it was the line directly above the one being tapped on at the 1:56 mark that had come loose from the air filter housing. Has a green capped test port and label on it back towards the firewall. Reconnected and cleared the codes. All is good.
That's Great Nick! So glad I could help!!!
John, you are a SAINT! What a great guy to be so honest and so willing to help others. My wife is having these codes pop up on her Echo and I'm going to look into these issues tomorrow. Thank you!!!
Your welcome!
I've had these codes for a while now and I'm going to look into it tonight.. thank you for this detailed video.
Your very welcome BluuSkyz!!!!
And that's how you do business! AND have people keep coming back in the future.
I wish more guys took the approach you did. Keep it up!
+LinuxBox Thanks !!!
AWESOME! John,I have a Lexus Ls 430 2001, My engine light came on.I took it to the mechanic today the codes was P0441,P0446 ,P0440. He told me it would be $2800,to repair after watching your video i'm not sure. Thank You!
+SUNRISE NEWEARTH Yes I would definitely get a second opinion!
Wow thanks man
that little cracked hose end is EXACTLY what was wrong with my corolla shitbox.
+AllyourBaseArebelongToUs Your Welcome!
Hey John you were so right about that hose. my wife drives a 2003 corolla and that hose was hanging off.
+Jerseydave Great! Glad I could help...
Good to see youre an honest mechanic and saved her some cash!!! Good vid definitely helped!!
Thanks!!!
Great video. I am getting the same codes now for my 2001 Toyota Echo. You saved me a lot of money.
BuffteethrBlog Great, glad I could help.
Did you end up fixing it and if so what was the issue? Thanks brother
Thanks dude! I’ve only been driving for a year and a half and you’ve saved me some money $$$ I really appreciate you and your help! - A great full teenager!
Brooklyn Troutman Glad I could help, your welcome!
Just dropping by to thank you again for posting your excellent services online. You've been very helpful in the past.
Your welcome Michael!
you are aWesome John, a rare breed for sure. back in the day , I wrote service for a dealership in Tampa, everyone wanted the writers to 'sell em the farm' .. I didnt last long in that job hahha Blessings my friend and thanks for the great info.. my echo has 307k and I just cant let go of my 'twin turbo' LOL the turbo button also referred to as the A/C button
Jimmy Favereau Thanks Jimmy!!! Yep I worked for a few companies they told me to stay in the back and keep my mouth shut or lose my job. Glad to meet someone with the same values and ethics, please take good care of yourself we have to live for a long time.
Thank you, John, for the diagnosis and the repair guidance. I had this precise combination of codes on my 2000 Echo. After watching your video I tightened my gas cap, looked under the hood and found the breather hose was disconnected so I reconnected that, and then, for good measure, lay down on a piece of cardboard to check that little bit of hose back near the canister. That looked fine so hopefully my check engine light will go off shortly. The car had been running fine anyway but it's always a concern when that light comes on.
+John Huss Glad I could help John
Джон,спасибо за информацию!Та же проблема,коды 0440,0441 и 0446!Машину купили из США,2001 года.Теперь я знаю,что делать!Благодарю!
Как исправили проблему ?
What an honest & smart guy!
Thanks Ronny!!!
Simple fixes that usualy give a lot of trouble to the costumers! Thanks again John.
Same codes popped up on my echo so can’t wait to follow these steps and see what going on to fix it
Lemme know what you find out
Awesome video. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and experience. I have a 2004 Echo that is giving me a code p0442, and I'm betting I have a loose hose underneath the rear just like you showed here. This video will save me a lot of money! Thank you again.
I'll definitely let my friends and relatives around San Diego know they should check your place out if they want an honest mechanic.
An honest mechanic??? Are you trying to give your industry a good reputation??? ;)
Great job and smart for long term customer retention
Thank You!!!
I don't understand why there are dislikes on here lol. Good job man!
Thank you!
Slather that "replacement" hose with silicone grease inside and out. Install with a couple clamps. Nice video
I am checking this out on my 2005 echo this weekend. I've spent $500 already at shops chasing this or that possible solution. If all it takes is some 5/8 heater hose to fix and not the charcoal canister, that is amazing.
Please keep me posted what you find out. John
Good stuff sir, thank you. I recently got a 2001 Celica GTS recently (fun little car) and before long I got the dreaded check engine light. What codes came up? Wouldn't you know it - P0440, P0441 and P0446. And, sure enough, the gas cap isn't OEM. It's some cheap POS gas cap. After I fill up at the pump, it doesn't tighten right. That has to be the problem. I ordered the Toyota OEM gas gap, it's coming this week. And if, like in the video, it's more than one problem, at least I will have solved the most obvious one.
Awesome Brian!!!
I love you Sir.. you are straight , precise to the point.
God bless you.
HATS LIFT UP SIR.
Thank you soooooo much.👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Your very welcome Dr. Yahya!!!! God bless you as well.
Sir,
Thank you so much for your quick reply .. you just came on time, right on the money.. my Sienna has the same codes.. I am a DIY man.. l love to fix my car, and your Excellency came across on time..
I do really love the way you explain. I am an Assistant Professor and Filmmaker.. I am thinking now if I could use your shop while my producer is scouting for a location for two scenes in my upcoming feature..
I assure you, if it's in my hands, I'll honor you an OSCAR in teaching.
Once again, HATS LIFT UP to your Excellency Sir.
Thank you.
@@dr.yahyaelewa1628 Thanks so much! Made this channel to be able to help people with their Automotive issues!
John-We did a smoke test on my 02 Echo today and smoke came out near gas cap. We replaced the cap with an OEM Toyota, and also noticed long section of vapor canister hose was loose and had dry rot. Replaced it with 5/8 heater hose. My mechanic wants to know why the Toyota Echo has 2 small holes at the top of the filler tube. One appears to lead to throttlebody and other to the air cleaner. Are these factory installed? Can they lead to the P0440?
If there's an overfill, gas can probably rot those two lines. Which is common I'd think
There's several lines. Maybe 2 small and 1 bigger line and of course the fill hose.
@@marshmower I ultimately did fix the entire issue, but after pretty much replacing the entire system. Replaced the vapor canister, filler neck, and purge solenoid; but they weren't the culprit. One of the (2) hoses connected to the purge solenoid wasn't sealing properly, throwing a P0441 and P0446. Clamp/Zip tie tight.
Most importantly, the Factory OEM Toyota/Lexus gas cap is a no go. Mine went bad after a year. Get a standard Duralast cap from Autozone, $10. They seal much better. Codes went off and stayed off.
Here's a tip, aerosol silicone lubricant will make rubber hoses slid on a lot easier.
Thank You John for ur knowledge but most importantly UR HONESTY. Blessings are urs & ur Family 👪. Keep up the Great Work
P.S. Heaven called said an Angel fell from the sky told them I found you on You Tube😁🙏🙏🙏
Your very welcome Yazmi!!! God bless you and your family as well 💪💪💪💪💪💪
You are explaining my problem exactly with my 2002 Camry se. I wish you said the size of hose you used at the end a little slower. My car is 4 cyl but used gas as if it were 12 cyl. I am so desperate I might make the 800 miles to see you. If somebody caught the size of hose he used at the end of the video, please respond!
Nice video and instructions! Another aging Echo back on the road.
Patrick Malloy Thanks Patrick!
Thank you!! Because of you, we were able to fix it without taking it in. I recently had an oil change and they didn't reattach the hose. I'm sure you saved me some money! and for sure some time!!
Sweet!!! Your welcome Wendy!
Ah man thank you, I can't wait to check my xb for this. I've always had those codes from time to time.
Your welcome!
Thanks for the helpful video. I have been battling these codes for a while and thought I would have to replace gas cap/charcoal canister process. After watching the video I went and checked the breather hose and it was disconnected, codes are now gone, thanks!
Adam Jones Your Welcome Adam
Thanks for pointing it out I have two hose disconnected from the EVap purge valve and air cleaner box could you please point me which the right hose are connected?
Hi Sean! Can you email me a picture with the vin number? Email is johnsadlersautorepair@gmail.com. I will look it up and email you a diagram back.
Quick and Concise... Nice Work, this procedure and code set hold true for what he does here on most toyota's too!
Thanks !!
Thanks for the clear and concise video. You are the man!!
Your welcome Dan!!!
thank you for posting this video!!! following your steps, I fixed the cell due to cracked hose by engine and mechanic said to replace cat and quoted me 1200+. again ty!!
Your welcome !!!
John thank you so much for this video! I went to a local mechanic and the hose wasn't even connected and the house for the filter wasn't even screwed on tight. Hopefully this corrects the problem!
+Renee Evette Your welcome Renee !
Knowledge and great character perspective you possess. Yay!!!!
Thanks !!!!
Thanks, I forgot to plug in the EVAP cables to the air filter after I changed it!
Your welcome Aaron!
Fixed my problem. Thanks. Hose was loose.
David Smith Your welcome David!
Daoudi
Good honest mechanic, god bless you.
Thanks Joseph! God bless you too!
@@JohnSadlersAutoRepair That is nice of you. I really appreciate your video. I just found my 2002 Toyota highlander showing the same 3 codes. It otherwise drives perfectly. I hope that the problem in my car is that simple.
@@josephdewuhan Let me know what you find out Joseph
@@JohnSadlersAutoRepair Dear John, I think that I did find the problem today. I was so happy about it, I actually uploaded my first TH-cam video about it. Here it is: th-cam.com/video/rSSzFkLzeZs/w-d-xo.html
Thanks John, you turned a trip to the shop into a quick fix, great video.
John Slane Your Welcome!
Hi John, I have the same 3 code on my 2001 toyota sequoia, I will check it out this weekend. thanks for the video. Subscribed
Tony White Your welcome Tony
Wow! Exactly what I was looking for. Godsend...!
Your very welcome Joe!!!!!
Nice and simple explanations
Thanks Jose!!!
Gonna see if I can get this myself and hope its' something simple like this lady had. Thanks for a great video. Very very helpful.
thanks for explanations. Did found leak - decayed metal vent pipe just near cap. Keep up good work)
Your welcome and thank you!!!!
Good video. My ‘02 Echo is giving me those 3 codes now so after watching your video I have a idea of what to look for. Thanks John! Liked.
Your welcome Curtis!
Hello, thanks for the great video. I’ve got all 3 of these codes on my 01 Echo. Only 108k miles. My gas cap does have some cracks around the seal. The 2 hoses you showed in the video are still connected and look good. If I replace the gas cap, do I have to have a dealer or shop reset the codes so the check engine light will go away?
Thanks again.
Hi Aaron, check with your local auto parts store. Orielys and Auto Zone check and clear codes for free.
Great video John. I have the same car. Wish there were more shop owners like you where I live.
I don't have any codes, and no check engine light on mine, yet the EVAP Not Ready stays shown on the hand held scanner.
Midnight Ryder Thanks! There are a few reasons for that, let me do some research and get back to you. John
Midnight Ryder
CHECKING MONITOR STATUS 1. Introduction
The Monitor Status (Mode 06 data) allows the OBD scan tool to display the monitor result, test value and test limit (malfunction criterion). A problem in the emission-related components such as the catalyst, EVAP and thermostat can be found by comparing the test value and test limit. The monitor status information is included under Decoding Mode 06 Data.
The ECM (PCM) monitors the emission-related components. After the monitor, the ECM stores the monitor results and test values. The monitor result indicates whether the component is functioning normally or not (PASS or FAIL). The test value is the value that was used to determine the monitor result. When the test value is inside the test limit, the ECM determines the component is functioning normally (PASS). If the test value is outside the test limit, the ECM determines the component is malfunctioning (FAIL).
So next hook up the scanner and go to Mode 6, you will find one or more failures. There will be some number like Tid and Comp id, write down the failures and I will Decode it for you. John
Same codes i picked the purge valve(near air box) from junk yard from another corolla and fixed it
Wow ! thanks a lot john,fixed my problem ! it was the breather hose on the housing it was just hanging off!
ibanez1403 Your Welcome !!
I hope I can find a mechanic like you out here in LA, CA. Good video
+JO3haNsum Thanks !!!!
Well done, thanks for value info, I appreciate the way you try to solve the housing change instead to buy a new canister for you customer 👍👍👍👍
Your very welcome Adrian !!!
Hi John. The part you're holding in your hand at 3:30 into the video: Mine went bad. I have a 2001 Toyota Echo. Can this part be purchased separately or do I have to buy an entire charcoal canister. I believe it's called an evap canister check valve or shut valve. I can't find it anywhere online. Thank you.
i have a 2001 Echo, and i just recently had that same problem, and had the whole vapor canister replaced. Not sure if i was taken for a ride or not.
Thanks for the info, and thanks especiality for your honesty.
Your very welcome Moises!!!
I get those codes pop up on my car again and again. The only weird thing about it is that it only comes up when I drive through a certain intersection in town. I can drive 10 miles or a 1000 miles and the codes will not pop up until I drive through that intersection.
Way to go John!
Thanks !!!
Superb !"
Best video out there on you tube by far !
Thank you Good Shepherd !
I love both Echo and Yaris, even though most car nuts hate them.
Thank you very much for sharing. It helps me to solve the issue. Awesome!!!
Glad I could help Quoc!
Nice job on the video. Excellent explanation John. Gonna try checking under the car.
+Jerseydave Thanks !
Your welcome Nuno! How did you car come out with the new tps? Hope you found a better job already also. John
We done sir. Great service center.
Thank you
Thanks for the video. i have these codes showing in my 2006 Sienna, will check those points you mentioned.
You're welcome Raymond! Please let me know what you find out
Thank-you for this John. Excellent.
Hayes Myers Your welcome Hayes!!!!!
Great video. Youre old school John. I just want to know what type of idiot would give this video a thumbs down???
Thanks Lamar!!! Appreciate it, there is plenty of them out there:(
Toyota Scion 2005. On check engine and code P0441..P0442..P0446.
what can be ? .. changed the cap on the gas tank ..
Hi I have a 2002 corolla and the engine light comes on when the gas is about one quarter tank and then I fill up the tank and the light goes out. Any ideas? thanks
Fantastic video. Very clear and concise. Thank you!
Your welcome Jacob!
Your welcome Fryque.
I have error codes 4401 and 4406 on my camry. This happened while i was driving and hit a hubcap on the road triggering the check engine light. Im thinking it has something to do with the vacuum lines having a leak or becoming disconnected. My problem is though that I am having a hard time finding diagrams for the lines and figuring out where everything is located underneath. Would you know any online places having the diagrams for this sort of thing or what I should even look up?
I find lots of good diagrams on Google and Bing images. You want the Evap System.
You are the best 👍👍👍👍👍😎
Thanks!!!
I have a 2001 rav4 with the evap code on we replaced the gas cap and the code is still there could it be this and does effect gas mileage because we have lost a bunch of gas mileage
