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. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
2. Remove the purge solenoid valve.
3. 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 and repair or replace the parts if necessary. Vacuum hose improper routing, kinks or leakage.
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
4. Install purge solenoid valve.
5. Connect the negative battery cable.
