DTC P0459
- Evaporative Emission (EVAP) Purge Solenoid Control Circuit Shorted
Diagnostic Fault Information
Circuit/System Description
The evaporative emission (EVAP) canister purge valve is used to purge fuel vapor from the EVAP canister to the intake manifold. The EVAP canister purge valve is pulse width modulated (PWM). Ignition voltage is supplied directly to the EVAP canister purge valve. The engine control module (ECM) controls the solenoid by grounding the control circuit with a solid state device called a driver. The driver is equipped with a feedback circuit that is pulled-up to a voltage. The ECM can determine if the control circuit is open, shorted to ground, or shorted to a voltage by monitoring the feedback voltage.
Conditions for Running the DTC
* The ignition is ON or the engine is operating.
* The DTCs runs continuously once the above conditions are met.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
P0458
The ECM detects the EVAP purge solenoid control circuit is open or shorted to ground.
P0459
The ECM detects the EVAP purge solenoid control circuit is shorted to voltage.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
DTC P0458 and P0459 are Type A DTCs.
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
DTC P0458 and P0459 are Type A DTCs.

Circuit/System Verification
1. With a scan tool, command the EVAP Purge Solenoid to 100 percent, and back to 0 percent. The EVAP Purge Solenoid should respond to the scan tool commands.
2. If the vehicle passes the Circuit/System Verification Test, then operate the vehicle within the conditions for running the DTC. You may also operate the vehicle within the conditions that are captured in the Freeze Frame/Failure Records Data List.
Circuit/System Testing
1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector of the EVAP purge solenoid.
2. Ignition ON, verify a test lamp illuminates between the ignition 1 voltage circuit and ground.
• If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the ignition 1 voltage circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal and the ignition 1 voltage circuit fuse is open, test all components connected to the ignition 1 voltage circuit and replace as necessary.
3. Ignition OFF, connect a test lamp between the control circuit and the ignition 1 voltage.
4. Ignition ON, with a scan tool, command the EVAP Purge Solenoid to 100 percent, and back to 0 percent. The test lamp should respond to the commanded state.
• If the test lamp remains ON all the time, test for a short to ground on the control circuit. If circuit/connections test normal, replace the ECM.
• If the test lamp remains OFF all the time, test for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance on the control circuit. If circuit/connections test normal, replace the ECM.
5. If all circuits/connections test normal, test or replace the EVAP purge solenoid.
Component Testing
1. Measure for 18-28 ohms of resistance between the terminals of the EVAP purge solenoid.
• If the resistance is not within the specified range, replace the EVAP purge solenoid.
2. Test for infinite resistance between each terminal of the EVAP purge solenoid and the EVAP purge solenoid housing.
• If less than infinite resistance, replace the EVAP purge solenoid.
