EVAP Canister Vent Control Valve Inspection
1.
Remove the vent control valve from the EVAP canister.
2.
Apply battery voltage to the valve and make sure the air passage closes (see Figure 2).
NOTE:
The valve must function (click) on the first application of battery voltage.
3.
Disconnect the battery voltage and make sure the air passage opens again (valve does not stick closed).
4.
Look inside the valve air passage and make sure there is no corrosion or rust on the metal shaft.
If the valve fails any of these tests, install one of the EVAP vent control valves listed below. Use a new 0-ring (P/N 16618-40U00) when replacing
