Test Description

The numbers below refer to the step numbers in the diagnostic procedures.

  1. 2

    This step tests if the concern is active. The EVAP purge valve is PWM. You should hear a clicking sound when the purge valve is commanded to 50 percent. The clicking sound should stop when the EVAP purge valve is commanded to 0 percent. The rate at which the valve cycles should increase when the commanded state is increased, and decrease when the commanded state is decreased. Repeat the commands as necessary.
  2. 5

    This step verifies that the control module is providing ground to the EVAP purge valve.
  3. 6

    This step tests if a ground is constantly being applied to the EVAP purge valve.
