EVAP Canister Purge Valve
- Turn ignition off. Disconnect EVAP canister purge valve harness connector. Using an ohmmeter, measure resistance between terminals of purge valve. Resistance should be 30-34 at 68°F (20°C) on Esteem and Swift, or 28-36 at 68°F (20°C) on Sidekick and X-90. 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.
- 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 to solenoid terminals. Air should flow through port "B". If operation is not as specified, replace EVAP canister purge valve.
