PURGE SOLENOID VALVE INSPECTION [L8, LF]

id0116a3800900

Note

• Perform the following procedure only when directed.

Airflow Inspection

1. Remove the battery cover.

2. Disconnect the negative battery cable. (See BATTERY REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [L8, LF].)

3. Remove the purge solenoid valve without disconnecting the evaporative hose. (See PURGE SOLENOID VALVE REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [L8, LF].)

4. Verify that the airflow is as indicated in the table.

• If as specified in the table, perform the "Circuit Open/Short Inspection".

• If not as specified in the table, replace the purge solenoid valve. (See PURGE SOLENOID VALVE REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [L8, LF].)


Measured condition	Continuity between A-B
When voltage is not applied between terminals A and B	No airflow
When voltage is applied between terminals A and B	Airflow detected

1. Disconnect the PCM connector. (See PCM REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [L8, LF].)

2. Inspect the following wiring harnesses for open or short circuit (continuity check).

Open circuit

• If there is no continuity, there is an open circuit. Repair or replace the wiring harness.

- Purge solenoid valve terminal A and PCM terminal 2C

- Purge solenoid valve terminal B and main relay

Short circuit

• If there is continuity, there is a short circuit. Repair or replace the wiring harness.

- Purge solenoid valve terminal A and power supply

- Purge solenoid valve terminal A and body ground

- Purge solenoid valve terminal B and body ground
