Purge Control Solenoid Valve
Check self-diagnostic system for any DTCs. See appropriate BASIC TESTING article. Since many computer-controlled and monitored components set a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) if they malfunction, also perform procedures in appropriate TESTS W/CODES article. Check valve winding for short to ground. Apply battery voltage to valve terminals. Verify passage opens and closes as voltage is applied and removed. Replace valve if winding is shorted, or if operation is not as specified.
