Test Description
The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table.
- 2: This step tests if the concern is active. The EVAP purge valve is pulse width modulated (PWM). When the purge valve is commanded to 50 percent, you should hear or feel a clicking. The clicking should stop when the EVAP purge valve is commanded to 0 percent. The rate at which the valve cycles should increase as the commanded state is increased. The rate should decrease when the commanded state is decreased. Repeat the commands as necessary.
- 5: This step tests if a ground is constantly being applied to the EVAP purge valve.
- 6: This step verifies that the ECM is providing ground to the EVAP purge valve.
