Canister Purge Solenoid: Testing and Inspection
Simulation Test1. Carry out the "Purge Control Inspection". (Refer to Purge Control Inspection.)
Testing and Inspection
- If not as specified, perform the further inspection for the purge solenoid valve.
Airflow Inspection
NOTE: Perform the following test only when directed.
1. Remove the purge solenoid valve.
2. Inspect airflow between the ports under the following conditions.
- If not as specified, replace the purge solenoid valve.
- If as specified but the Simulation Test is failed, inspect the vacuum hoses for improper routing, kinks or leakage, and inspect for the following:
Open circuit
- Ground circuit (purge solenoid valve connector terminal B and PCM connector terminal 67 through common connector)
- Power circuit (purge solenoid valve connector terminal A and main relay connector terminal D through common connector)
Short circuit
- Purge solenoid valve connector terminal B and PCM connector terminal 67 to Ground
