Canister Purge Solenoid: Testing and Inspection

VSV For Evaporative Emission (EVAP)




COMPONENTS

INSPECTION

1. REMOVE VSV

2. 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.

3. 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.

4. INSPECT VSV OPERATION




a. Check that air does not flow from the ports.




b. Apply battery positive voltage across the terminals.
c. Check that air flows from the ports.
If operation is not as specified, replace the VSV.

5. REINSTALL VSV
