Canister Purge Solenoid: Testing and Inspection

VSV Inspection - Checking Resistance:

- Connect ohmmeter across VSV terminals.

Resistance 33 - 34 ohms

VSV Inspection - Checking For Short:

- Check that there is no continuity between either terminal and VSV case.

VSV Inspection - Checking Operation:

- Blow air into port E. Air should flow from port F with high resistance.

VSV Inspection - Checking Operation:

- Apply battery voltage across solenoid terminals.
- Blow air into port E. Air should flow from port F easily.
- If any step failed to produce desired results, replace VSV.
