Canister Purge Valve

  1. Turn ignition off. Disconnect EVAP canister purge valve harness connector located next to timing belt cover. Using an ohmmeter, measure resistance between terminals of purge valve. Resistance should be 33-39 ohms at 68°F (20°C). Resistance between each terminal and body of solenoid should be one megohm or greater. If resistance is as specified, go to next step. If resistance is not as specified, replace EVAP canister purge valve. Retest system.
  2. Disconnect vacuum hoses from solenoid. Blow into port "A". See Fig 1 . Air should not flow through solenoid. Using fused jumper wires, connect 12 volts and ground to solenoid terminals. Air should now flow through port "B". If operation is not as specified, replace EVAP canister purge valve.
