Canister Purge Solenoid: Testing and Inspection
Evaporative Emission Purge Solenoid Check
1. Disconnect the vacuum hose (black, black with red paint mark) from the EVAP purge solenoid valve.
NOTE: When disconnecting the vacuum hose, always place an identification mark so that it can be reconnected at its original position.
2. Disconnect the harness connector.
3. Connect a hand vacuum pump to nipple (A) of the EVAP purge solenoid valve (refer to the illustration at left).
4. Check airtightness by applying a vacuum with voltage applied directly from the battery to the EVAP purge solenoid valve and without applying
voltage.
5. Measure the resistance between the terminals of the EVAP purge solenoid valve.
Standard value: 36 - 44 Ohms [at 20° C (68° F)]
6. Replace solenoid if resistance is out of specification.
