PURGE SOLENOID VALVE INSPECTION [L8, LF, L3]

Airflow Inspection

Note

• Perform the following test only when directed.

1. Disconnect the negative battery cable.

2. Remove the purge solenoid valve. (See PURGE SOLENOID VALVE REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [L8, LF, L3].)

3. Inspect airflow between the ports under the following conditions.

• If not as specified, replace the purge solenoid valve.

• If as specified, carry out the "Circuit Open/Short Inspection".

Circuit Open/Short Inspection

1. Disconnect the PCM connector. (See PCM REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [L8, LF, L3].)

2. Inspect the following wiring harness for open or short (continuity check).

• If there is no continuity, the circuit is open. Repair or replace the harness.

- Purge solenoid valve terminal A (harness-side) and PCM terminal 4U

- Purge solenoid valve terminal B (harness-side) and main relay terminal C (harness-side)
