EVAP Duty Cycle

Range 0 - 100%
The scan tool indicates the [1][2]EVAP duty cycle that the VCM is commanding. The EVAP duty cycle is a pulse width modulated voltage applied to the purge valve which is displayed as a percentage. A high percentage of EVAP duty cycle would indicate near maximum canister purging.
