P0441 on Honda
Evaporative Emission Control System Incorrect Purge Flow
P0441 on Honda vehicles indicates evaporative emission control system incorrect purge flow. Au7o has documented this code across 1 Honda model — most commonly on Pilot. This code means the Engine Control Module (ECM) detected an incorrect amount of purge flow in the Evaporative Emission Control (EVAP) system. The EVAP system captures gasoline vapors from the fuel tank in a charcoal canister and then 'purges' them into the engine to be burned, controlled by a purge valve. P0441 sets when the computer commands the purge valve open or closed but sees the wrong flow — too much, too little, or none at the wrong time. It is an emissions/sealing issue, not something that usually affects driving, though you may notice a fuel smell. Typical repair costs on Honda range from $30 to $250, depending on the specific model and root cause.
Common Causes of P0441
- •Stuck-open or stuck-closed EVAP purge valve/solenoid
- •Failed or stuck EVAP vent valve
- •Loose, damaged, or missing gas cap
- •Cracked or disconnected EVAP/purge vacuum hoses
- •Faulty purge flow or pressure sensor
- •Clogged or saturated charcoal canister
- •Wiring or connector fault to the purge valve
P0441 on Honda by Model
Honda Pilot(1 issue)
- EVAP Canister Purge Valve Stuck Open (P0496/P0455) Causing Hard Start After Refueling2016-2022
The EVAP canister purge valve sticks open and allows fuel vapors to flow into the intake when they shouldn't. On 3rd-gen Pilots this commonly sets P0496 (EVAP high/incorrect purge flow), and can accompany P0455/P0441; drivers notice a check engine light, rough idle, and pronounced difficulty starting the engine immediately after filling up (flooded intake). The canonical OEM purge valve for these years is 36162-5G0-A01.
