CHECK HARNESS BETWEEN ECM AND PURGE CONTROL SOLENOID VALVE 2 CONNECTOR.
1. Turn the ignition switch to OFF.
2. Disconnect the connector from ECM.
3. Disconnect the connector from purge control solenoid valve 2.
4. Turn the ignition switch to ON.
5. Measure the voltage between ECM connector and chassis ground.
Connector & terminal

(B137) No. 15 (+) - Chassis ground (-):

Is the voltage 10 V or more?

Yes: Repair the short circuit to power in harness between ECM connector and purge control solenoid valve 2 connector.

No: Go to 2.
CHECK PURGE CONTROL SOLENOID VALVE 2.
1. Turn the ignition switch to OFF.
2. Measure the resistance between purge control solenoid valve 2 terminals.
Terminals

No. 1 - No. 2:

Is the resistance less than 1 Ω?

Yes: Replace the purge control solenoid valve 2. Refer to EMISSION CONTROL (AUX. EMISSION CONTROL DEVICES) (STI)>PURGE CONTROL SOLENOID VALVE .

No: Repair the poor contact of ECM connector.
