Evaporative Emission Canister Purge Regulator Valve, Checking

Special tools and workshop equipment required 

• Multimeter.
• Wiring diagram.

Test requirements 

• The ignition switched OFF.

Test procedure 

-- Perform a preliminary check to verify the customers complaint. Refer to PRELIMINARY CHECK 

Start diagnosis 

-- Remove the engine cover with air filter. Refer to the Repair information.

-- Disconnect the Evaporative Emission (EVAP) Canister Purge Regulator Valve -N80- electrical harness connector -1-.

Checking internal resistance 

-- Using a multimeter, check the Evaporative Emission (EVAP) Canister Purge Regulator Valve -N80- terminals 1 and 2 for resistance.

Specified value: 28.0 to 38.0 Ω.

If the specified value was Not obtained:

-- Replace the Evaporative Emission (EVAP) Canister Purge Regulator Valve -N80-.

If the specified value was obtained:

Checking voltage supply 

-- Start the engine.

-- Using a multimeter, check the electrical harness connector terminal 1 to 2 for voltage.

Specified value: 11.6 volts +/- 2 volts.

If the specified value was Not obtained:

-- Leave the multimeter positive lead on terminal 1 and connect the multimeter negative lead to engine ground.

-- Engine still running.

Specified value: Battery voltage.

-- Turn the ignition OFF.

If the specified value was Not obtained:

-- Remove fuse in Fuse panel B. Check the wire from the electrical harness connector terminal 1 to fuse in Fuse panel B for open or high resistance. Refer to Wiring Diagrams for fuse number.

-- Check the electrical harness connector for damage, corrosion, loose or broken terminals.

-- If necessary, repair the wiring connection.

If the specified value was obtained:

Check Ground activation 

-- Remove the Engine Control Module (ECM) -J623-. Refer to the Repair information.

-- Using a multimeter, check the Evaporative Emission (EVAP) Canister Purge Regulator Valve -N80- electrical connector terminal 2 to Engine Control Module (ECM) -J623- electrical connector T60 terminal 35 for an open circuit.

Specified value: 1.5 Ω max.

If the specified value was Not obtained:

-- Check the wiring for a short to voltage, high resistance or an open circuit.

-- Check the electrical harness connector for damage, corrosion, loose or broken terminals.

-- If necessary, repair the wiring connection.

If the specified value was obtained:

-- Replace the Engine Control Module (ECM) -J623-. Refer to the Repair information.

-- Install the engine cover. Refer to the Repair information.

Final procedures 

After the repair work, the following work steps must be performed in the following sequence:

1. Check the DTC memory. Refer to DIAGNOSTIC MODE 03 - READ DTC MEMORY .
2. If necessary, erase the DTC memory. Refer to DIAGNOSTIC MODE 04 - ERASE DTC MEMORY .
3. If the DTC memory was erased, generate readiness code. Refer to READINESS CODE .
