Circuit/System Testing

  1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the EVAP canister purge or vent solenoid valve.
  2. Ignition ON, verify that a test lamp illuminates between the B+ or ignition circuit terminal A and ground.
    • If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the B+ or ignition circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal and the voltage supply circuit fuse is open, test or replace the appropriate solenoid valve.
  3. Connect a test lamp between the control circuit terminal B and the B+ or ignition circuit terminal A.
  4. Energize the solenoid with a scan tool. Command the EVAP canister purge solenoid valve to 50 percent with a scan tool, or the EVAP canister vent solenoid valve ON and OFF. The test lamp should respond to the command.
    • If the test lamp is always ON, test the control circuit for a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the control module.
    • If the test lamp is always OFF, test the control circuit for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the control module.
  5. If all circuits test normal, replace the appropriate solenoid valve.
