DTC Troubleshooting

WARNING: In order to reduce risk of fire and personal injury, this work must be performed in a well ventilated area and away from any open flames such as gas water heater.
DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE

Step Action YES NO
Was "Engine and Emission Control System Check" performed?  Go to Step 2. Go to ENGINE AND EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM CHECK .
Check EVAP canister purge power supply circuit 
  1. Turn OFF ignition switch, disconnect connector from EVAP canister purge valve.
  2. Measure voltage between engine ground and "BLK/RED" wire terminal of EVAP canister purge valve connector with ignition switch turned ON.

Is it voltage 10 - 14 V? 
Go to step 3. Open wire in "BLK/RED" circuit.
Check wire circuit 
  1. Disconnect connectors from ECM with ignition switch turn OFF.
  2. Measure resistance between "C46-30" terminal of ECM connector and vehicle body ground.

Is resistance infinity? 
Go to Step 4. "BLU/BLK" wire shorted to ground circuit.
Check wire circuit 
  1. Measure voltage between "C46-30" terminal of ECM connector and vehicle body ground with ignition switch turned ON.

Is voltage 0 V? 
Go to Step 5. "BLU/BLK" wire shorted to other circuits.
Check wire circuit 
  1. Connect connector to EVAP canister purge valve with ignition switch turned OFF.
  2. Turn ON ignition switch, measure voltage between "C46-30" terminal of ECM connector and vehicle body ground.

Is it voltage 10 - 14 V? 
Go to Step 6. Open wire in "BLU/BLK" circuit.
Check EVAP canister purge valve 
  1. Check EVAP canister purge valve referring to EVAP CANISTER PURGE VALVE INSPECTION .

Is it good condition? 
Go to Step 7. Faulty EVAP canister purge control valve.
Check EVAP canister purge control circuit 
  1. With ignition switch turn OFF, measure resistance between "G04-6 (or G04-7)" terminal and "C46-30" terminal of ECM connector.

Is resistance below 40 ohm at 20°C, 68°F? 
Faulty ECM, substitute a known-good ECM and recheck. High resistance wire in "BLK/RED" and/or "BLU/BLK" circuit.
