Signal Missing






Signal missing

Checking the connector








- Ignition off
- Check the evaporative emission system (EVAP) valve connector. Check for contact resistance and oxidation
- Reinstall the components, reconnect the connectors etc.
- Ignition on
- Activate the evaporative emission system (EVAP) valve.
A click should be heard when the evaporative emission system (EVAP) valve is activated.
If the evaporative emission system (EVAP) valve is now OK this indicates that the fault was caused by poor contact in the connector.

Is the evaporative emission system (EVAP) valve working?

Yes - Fault Found

No - Checking the components and wiring

-------------------------------------------------

Checking the components and wiring
Check the resistance of the evaporative emission system (EVAP) valve.
Check the signal cable between engine control module (ECM) terminal #A9 (#A9) and evaporative emission system (EVAP) valve terminal #2. Check for an open-circuit.
Check the power supply between system relay terminal #3 and evaporative emission system (EVAP) valve terminal #1. Check for an open-circuit.
Remedy as necessary.
