Evaporative Emission Purge Solenoid: Testing and Inspection
Solenoid Testing
NOTE: When disconnecting the vacuum hose, always make a mark so that it can be reconnected at original position.
1. Disconnect the vacuum hose (black, red stripes) from the solenoid valve.
2. Disconnect the harness connector.
3. Connect a hand vacuum pump to the nipple to which the vacuum hose with red-stripes was connected.
4. Check airtightness by applying a vacuum with voltage applied directly from the battery to the evaporative emission purge solenoid and without
applying voltage.
