EVAP Canister Purge Valve

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2002 Suzuki XL-7, 2002 Suzuki Vitara, 2002 Suzuki Grand Vitara, 2002 Suzuki Esteem, and 2002 Suzuki Aerio. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. 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 Aerio, or 28-36 at 68°F (20°C) on Grand Vitara, Vitara and XL-7. Resistance between each terminal and body of solenoid should be one megaohm 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 Figure . Air should not flow through solenoid. Using fused jumper wires, connect 12 volts and ground to solenoid terminals. Air should flow through port "B". If operation is not as specified, replace EVAP canister purge valve.
