Circuit/System Verification |
1. |
Ignition ON, command the EVAP purge solenoid valve to 50 percent with a scan tool. You should hear an audible click. |
2. |
Engine operating, observe the scan tool EVAP Purge Solenoid Circuit Test Status parameters. Verify the parameters display OK or Not Run. |
3. |
Operate the vehicle within the conditions for running the DTC to verify the DTC does not reset. You may also operate the vehicle within the conditions that you observed from the Freeze Frame/Failure Records data. |
Circuit/System Testing |
1. |
Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the Q12 EVAP purge solenoid Valve. |
2. |
Ignition ON, verify a test lamp illuminates between the ignition voltage circuit terminal 2 and ground. |
3. |
If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the ignition voltage circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal and the ignition voltage circuit fuse is open, test all components connected to the ignition voltage circuit and replace as necessary. |
4. |
Connect a test lamp between the control circuit terminal 1 and the ignition voltage circuit terminal 2. |
5. |
Command the EVAP purge solenoid valve to 50 percent and then to 0 percent with a scan tool. The test lamp should illuminate or flash and then go OFF. |
6. |
If the test lamp is always ON, test the control circuit for a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K20 ECM. |
7. |
If the test lamp is always OFF, test the control circuit for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K20 ECM. |
8. |
Test for 2.6-4.6 V between the control circuit terminal 1 and the K20 ECM. |
9. |
If the voltage is not within the specified range, replace the K20 ECM. |
10. |
If all circuits test normal, test or replace the Q12 EVAP purge solenoid. |
Component Testing |
1. |
Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the Q12 EVAP purge solenoid valve. Test for 15-20 Ω between the terminals of the Q12 EVAP purge solenoid valve. |
2. |
If not within the specified range, replace the Q12 EVAP purge solenoid valve. |
3. |
Measure the resistance between each terminal of the Q12 EVAP purge solenoid valve and the EVAP purge solenoid valve housing. The DMM should display OL. |
4. |
If less than the specified value, replace the Q12 EVAP purge solenoid. |
