  2. Disconnect EVAP purge valve harness connector. Using DVOM, check for continuity of the following:
    • On XJS models, the Black/Yellow wire between EVAP purge valve connector terminal No. 1 and PCM power relay connector terminal, and of Purple/Green wire between EVAP purge valve connector terminal No. 2 and PCM Black connector terminal No. 34.
    • On all other models, the Black/Light Green wire between EVAP purge valve connector terminal No. 1 and PCM power relay connector terminal, and of Purple/Green wire between EVAP purge valve connector terminal No. 2 and PCM Black connector terminal No. 34.
    Repair wiring as necessary. If wiring is okay, go to next step.
  3. Check for short circuit to ground between EVAP purge valve connector terminals and ground. Repair wiring as necessary. If wiring is okay, check for short circuit across EVAP purge valve connector terminals. Repair as necessary. If wiring is okay, go to next step.
