Canister Purge Solenoid: Testing and Inspection

VSV For Evaporative Emission (EVAP)

1. REMOVE V-BANK COVER AND EMISSION CONTROL VALVE SET

2. REMOVE VSV
a. Disconnect the 2 EVAP hoses from the VSV.
b. Remove the screw and VSV.

3. INSPECT VSV FOR OPEN CIRCUIT





Using an ohmmeter, check that there is continuity between the terminals.

Resistance: 27 - 33 Ohms at 20 °C (68 °F)

If there is no continuity, replace the VSV.

4. 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.

5. INSPECT VSV OPERATION





a. Check that air flows with difficulty from port E to port F.





b. Apply battery voltage across the terminals.
c. Check that air flows from port E to port F.
If operation is not as specified, replace the VSV.

6. REINSTALL VSV
a. Install the VSV with the screw.
b. Connect the 2 EVAP hoses to the VSV.

7. REINSTALL EMISSION CONTROL VALVE SET
8. REINSTALL V-BANK COVER
