EVAP Canister Air Valve

  1. Turn ignition off. Disconnect EVAP canister air valve harness connector. Canister air valve is located on top of EVAP canister. Using an ohmmeter, measure resistance between valve terminals. Resistance should be 25-30 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 air valve. Retest system.
  2. Disconnect vacuum hoses from solenoid. Blow into port "A". See Fig 1 . Air should flow through valve. Connect battery voltage to air valve terminals. Air should not flow through port "B". If operation is not as specified, replace EVAP canister air valve.
