Canister Purge Solenoid: Testing and Inspection
1. REMOVE VSV
2. 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 flows 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.
3. REINSTALL VSV
