Fault symptoms

•	CHECK ENGINE.

•	Possible smell of petrol.

On-Board Diagnostics

Type of diagnosis:

-	Continuous. But interrupted when fault criteria fulfilled and will not restart until next driving cycle.

Enable criteria:

-	Engine running. Main relay voltage between 10 V - 16 V.

Fault criteria:

-	Voltage on output exceeding 2 V when the valve should have opened and the PWM signal should be low, (purge valve normally closed). Conditions fulfilled within 10 periods that must occur within 60 sec. (It normally takes approx. 1 sec. to generate a DTC.)

Dependents:

-

None.

System reaction to a fault:

-

None.

OK report:

-	Enable criteria fulfilled. Fault criteria not fulfilled within 60 s.

Fault handling: (See section Fault handling III, other emission-related components and functions for more information.)

-

Type III.

Diagnostic help

Fault diagnosis concerns an electrical fault in the connecting leads or in the valve.

Functions in the diagnostic tool related to the fault:

•	Activate valve output.

See also description on activating under "Activate" menu for more information.

Check the wiring

Jiggle the leads and in-line connectors at various points and in different directions to detect any intermittent breaks or short circuits in the wiring. Observe the multimeter, test lamp or diagnostic tool while doing this.
