P0441 on a 2022 Nissan Rogue
EVAP Incorrect Purge Flow
P0441 on a 2022 Nissan Rogue indicates evap incorrect purge flow. It usually stays drivable short-term but should be diagnosed promptly. The most common cause is failed evap purge valve (purge solenoid) stuck open or closed (typically $80–$300). Confirm the root cause before replacing parts.
What does P0441 mean on a 2022 Nissan Rogue?
P0441 is set when the EVAP purge monitor does not see the flow of fuel vapor it expects between the charcoal canister and the intake manifold. The ECM commands the purge valve open and watches fuel tank pressure — and on many vehicles short-term fuel trim — for the corresponding response. Too little flow, no flow at all, or flow when the valve is commanded closed will all set P0441. This is a purge-path code, not a leak code: it points at the purge valve, its vacuum hose, and the canister, rather than at a hole in the sealed system.
The symptoms, causes, and diagnostic steps below describe P0441 itself, so they read the same on nearby Nissan Rogue model years. Powertrain and trim details vary year to year — confirm the specifics against your own vehicle before buying parts.
Is it safe to drive a 2022 Nissan Rogue with P0441?
In most cases a 2022 Nissan Rogue stays drivable for short trips with P0441 active, but diagnose and repair it promptly. This is a low-severity code — ignoring it can lead to further damage or a failed emissions test.
What are the symptoms of P0441 on a 2022 Nissan Rogue?
- Check Engine Light is illuminated
- No drivability problem in most cases
- Rough idle or stalling if the purge valve is stuck open
- Hard start immediately after refueling (stuck-open purge valve)
- Faint fuel smell around the engine bay
- EVAP readiness monitor will not complete
- Vehicle will fail emissions / smog testing
What causes P0441 on a 2022 Nissan Rogue?
| Cause | Likelihood | Estimated repair (USD) |
|---|---|---|
| Failed EVAP purge valve (purge solenoid) stuck open or closed Stuck closed means no purge flow at all; stuck open adds rough idle and hard starts to the code. | Most common | $80–$300 |
| Cracked, kinked, or disconnected purge hose between the valve and the intake | Common | $30–$200 |
| Blocked or fuel-saturated charcoal canister restricting vapor flow | Common | $200–$600 |
| Failed EVAP vent valve preventing the canister from drawing fresh air during purge | Common | $80–$350 |
| Failed fuel tank pressure sensor reporting the wrong response to purge | Occasional | $100–$350 |
| Damaged wiring or connector at the purge valve | Occasional | $50–$250 |
| Failed PCM driver for the purge solenoid | Rare | $400–$1,500 |
Cost ranges are editorial estimates for parts and labor at an independent U.S. shop — not quotes. What you actually pay moves with your region, the shop's hourly rate, which engine you have, and how much diagnostic time the job takes. Dealer service departments typically sit above these ranges.
How to diagnose this on a 2022 Nissan Rogue
-
Read mode 6 EVAP test results before touching anything
Mode 6 breaks the EVAP monitor into individual test IDs — small leak, large leak, and purge flow. Confirm that the purge-flow test is the one failing. If a leak test is also failing, you likely have two separate problems, or one large leak that is defeating the purge test as a side effect.
Tools: Scan tool with mode 6 support
-
Bench-test the purge valve
Remove the purge valve. With no voltage applied it should hold vacuum — a hand vacuum pump on the intake side should pull and hold. Apply 12 V and it should click audibly and let air pass freely. A valve that leaks at rest is stuck open; a valve that never passes air is stuck closed. Either sets P0441.
Tools: Hand vacuum pump, 12 V test source, Socket set
-
Verify there is manifold vacuum at the purge hose
Disconnect the purge hose at the intake manifold with the engine idling. You should feel strong vacuum at the manifold port. No vacuum means the port is carboned shut — common on direct-injection engines — and the valve can be perfect while no purge flow ever happens.
Tools: Vacuum gauge, Flashlight
-
Command purge with a bidirectional scan tool and watch fuel trim
With the engine warm and idling, command the purge valve open in steps. Short-term fuel trim should move noticeably lean-correcting as stored vapor enters the intake. No fuel trim response at all confirms no flow is reaching the engine regardless of what the valve is doing electrically.
Tools: Bidirectional scan tool with EVAP purge command
-
Inspect the canister and the vent path
Purge only works if the canister can draw fresh air in through the vent valve while vapor is pulled out. A stuck-closed vent valve, a clogged vent filter, or a canister packed with liquid fuel from chronic overfilling will all starve the purge flow. Check the canister for the smell of raw fuel and for cracked plastic.
Tools: Flashlight, Floor jack and stands

Engines in the 2022 Nissan Rogue
The 2022 Nissan Rogue was offered with the 1.5L 3-cylinder and 2.0L 4-cylinder engines. Which one you have changes where P0441 is most likely to originate, so confirm your engine before ordering parts.
Engine data: EPA fueleconomy.gov.
P0441 is a flow code, not a leak code
The EVAP codes split into two groups, and knowing which group you are in saves a wasted afternoon with a smoke machine:
| Code | What the monitor measured |
|---|---|
| P0442 / P0455 / P0456 | The sealed system will not hold vacuum — there is a leak |
| P0441 | Vapor is not moving through the purge path as commanded |
| P0443 | The purge solenoid circuit is electrically faulty |
| P0446 | The vent valve circuit is not responding |
A smoke test is the right first move for the leak codes. For P0441 it usually tells you nothing, because the system can be perfectly sealed and still fail the purge test. Start at the purge valve instead.
Why a stuck-open purge valve makes the engine run badly
The purge valve is normally closed. When it sticks open, the engine draws raw fuel vapor from the canister at idle, when the ECM is not expecting any. On a hot restart — right after refueling, when the canister is fully loaded — this produces a genuinely rich mixture and a long crank or a stumble that clears after a few seconds. If your P0441 came with “won’t start right after I fill up,” the purge valve stuck open is the leading suspect.
The monitor only runs under specific conditions
Like the leak monitors, the purge-flow monitor needs a warm engine, steady cruise, and a fuel level in the usable band before it will run. After a repair, expect a couple of drive cycles before the readiness flag flips to “ready.” Clearing the code turns off the light immediately, but an emissions test will still fail on an incomplete monitor — so let it run before you book the test.
When to hand it to a shop
If the purge valve bench-tests correctly, the hose is intact, the manifold port has vacuum, and fuel trim still does not respond to a commanded purge, the remaining suspects are the canister internals and the tank-side plumbing. Both usually mean dropping the tank or pulling the rear of the vehicle apart. That is a reasonable point to stop and pay someone with a lift.
