Purge Control Solenoid Valve

  1. Label and disconnect both vacuum hoses from solenoid valve. For solenoid valve location, see PURGE CONTROL SOLENOID VALVE LOCATION  table. Disconnect electrical connector. Connect hand vacuum pump to solenoid valve nipple where Red-striped hose was connected. Apply vacuum to solenoid valve. Vacuum should hold.
  2. Apply battery voltage to terminals of solenoid valve. Vacuum should bleed down when voltage is applied to terminals. Using an ohmmeter, check resistance across solenoid valve terminals. Reading should be 36-44 ohms at 68°F (20°C). If reading is not within specification, replace valve.
