Canister Purge Solenoid: Description and Operation
Proportional Purge Solenoid
PROPORTIONAL PURGE SOLENOID
All vehicles use a proportional purge solenoid. The solenoid regulates the rate of vapor flow from the EVAP canister to the throttle body. The
PCM operates the solenoid.
During the cold start warm-up period and the hot start time delay, the PCM does not energize the solenoid. When de-energized, no vapors are
purged.
The proportional purge solenoid operates at a frequency of 200 Hz and is controlled by an engine controller circuit that senses the current being
applied to the proportional purge solenoid and then adjusts that current to achieve the desired purge flow. The proportional purge solenoid
controls the purge rate of fuel vapors from the vapor canister and fuel tank to the engine intake manifold.

The solenoid attaches to a bracket near the front engine mount. To operate correctly, the solenoid must be installed with the electrical connector on
top.
