This system traps and reroutes fuel vapor to the engine, reducing harmful emissions and improving fuel efficiency. The ECU (Electronic Control Unit) opens and closes the canister purge valve to control the vapor flow. In addition to the check engine light, it also registers several diagnostic codes, including the P0443 and P0441.

In a modern, electronically controlled automatic transmission, shift solenoids control the flow of transmission fluid. In older non-electronically controlled transmissions, shifting was controlled by shift valves, but the idea is the same. If the shift solenoid is faulty, then the fluid won’t be routed to the desired shift actuator.
