Circuit/System Testing

  1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the EVAP canister.
  2. Ignition ON, verify a test lamp illuminates between the ignition 1 voltage circuit terminal 9 and ground.
    • If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the ignition 1 voltage circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal and the ignition 1 voltage circuit fuse is open, test all components connected to the ignition 1 voltage circuit and replace as necessary.
  3. Ignition OFF, connect a test lamp between the control circuit terminal 8 and the ignition 1 voltage circuit terminal 9.
  4. Ignition ON, command the EVAP vent solenoid ON and OFF with a scan tool. The test lamp should illuminate ON and OFF with each command.
    • If the test lamp is always ON, test the control circuit for a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the PCM.
    • If the test lamp is always OFF, test the control circuit for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance. If circuit tests normal, replace the PCM.
  5. Test the EVAP vent solenoid for correct operation. Refer to Evaporative Emission Control System Diagnosis .
  6. If the vent solenoid and circuits test normal, test for the following conditions:
    • If all conditions are normal, replace the EVAP vacuum leak pump assembly.
