Canister Purge Control Valve: Testing and Inspection
Procedure
1. Disconnect the EVAP Canister Purge Valve electrical connector.
2. Using a DMM (1), measure the resistance of the EVAP Canister Purge Valve (2) between both terminals. The resistance should be 28 to 36 ohms
at 20° C (68° F).
3. Replace the EVAP Canister Purge Valve if the resistance is not 28 to 36 ohms at 20° C (68° F). If the resistance is within specification, proceed to
step 4.
4. Disconnect the EVAP Canister Purge Valve vacuum hoses from the intake manifold and the vacuum pipe (from EVAP canister).
5. Blow air into the EVAP Canister Purge Valve vacuum hose that was disconnected from the vacuum pipe. Air should not pass through the EVAP
Canister Purge Valve and exit from the intake manifold hose.
6. Connect 12 volts DC to the EVAP Canister Purge Valve terminals.
7. Blow air into the EVAP Canister Purge Valve vacuum hose that was disconnected from the EVAP canister. Air should pass through the EVAP
Canister Purge Valve and exit from the intake manifold hose.
8. Replace the EVAP Canister Purge Valve, if the EVAP Canister Purge Valve failed this inspection.
9. Reconnect the EVAP Canister Purge Valve vacuum hoses and electrical connector.
