Electronic Control Module

On some engines, the Electronic Control Module controls vacuum to the purge valve with a solenoid valve. When the system is in the open loop, solenoid is energized and blocks vacuum to purge valve. When system is in closed loop, above a specified RPM, solenoid is de-energized and vacuum can be applied to purge valve, releasing accumulated vapors from canister to induction system.
