Check Engine Codes

Blackdog(2) · 02-10-2012, 12:19 PM

I have a 1997 Ranger with 183,000 miles. Recently the "check engine light" came on. My ACTRON OBDII scanner indicated a code of P1443. Can anyone tell me what this code indicates?

C P1443: CHECK THE VOLTAGE ON THE PURGE FLOW (PF) SENSOR CIRCUIT VOLTAGE WITH ENGINE RUNNING
Continuous Memory Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) P1443 indicates an incorrect evaporative system purge control valve flow.

Possible causes:

Obstructed, open or cracked hoses between EVAP canister purge valve and intake manifold.
Damaged EVAP canister purge valve.
Damaged PF sensor.

Good Luck!
