Canister Purge Solenoid: Testing and Inspection

VSV For Evaporative Emission (EVAP)





1. REMOVE V-BANK COVER AND EMISSION CONTROL VALVE SET AND HIGH - TENSION CORD COVER
2. REMOVE VSV
- Disconnect the 2 EVAP hoses from the VSV.
- Remove the screw and VSV.





3. INSPECT VSV
- Inspect VSV for open circuit
- Using an ohmmeter, check that there is continuity between the terminals.

Resistance: At 20°C (68°F): 27 - 33 ohms.

- If there is no continuity, replace the VSV.






- Inspect VSV for ground
- Using an ohmmeter, check that there is no continuity between each terminal and the body.
- If there is continuity, replace the VSV.





- Inspect VSV operation
- Check that air does not flow from port E to F.





- Apply battery positive voltage across the terminals.
- Check that air flows from port E to F.
- If operation is not as specified, replace the VSV.
4. REINSTALL VSV
- Install the VSV with the screw.
- Connect the 2 EVAP hoses to the VSV.
5. REINSTALL EMISSION CONTROL VALVE SET.
6. REINSTALL HIGH-TENSION CORD COVER.
7. REINSTALL V-BANK COVER.
