DRIVEABILITY AND EMISSION 6E1-213 Purge Control 0.5 R/L DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC) (Flash DTC = 61) EVAPORATIVE EMISSION (EVAP) CONTROL SYSTEM CANISTER PURGE CONTROL VALVE CIRCUIT LOW ERROR (IF APPLICABLE) Circuit Description The engine control Module (ECM) controls the Evaporative Emission (EVAP) Canister Purge control Solenoid Valve through the use of a control (ground) circuit. If the ECM commands the Purge solenoid to maximum duty cycle (100%) but the voltage remains High (12 volts); or, if the ECM commands the Purge solenoid to high duty cycle (100%) but the voltage remains low (0 volts), this malfunction detects a low impedance short to ground or open contact on the canister purge solenoid output. Then DTC 61 will set. Conditions for Setting the DTC • Driver feedback information shows a low state at its operation even when commanded high. Action Taken When the DTC Sets • The ECM will illuminate the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL). Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC Once the ECM determines that a fault(s) has been rectified then the CEL will switch OFF, although the fault code will remain in the ECM memory. Any fault codes will remain in ECM memory until - 1. They are cleared by disconnecting the Battery for more than 30 seconds. 2. A service tool such as Tech 2 is used to clear them. 3. Ten consecutive starts without logging a fault. Diagnostic Aids • Poor connections, or a damaged harness - Inspect the harness connectors for: backed-out terminals, improper mating or damaged terminals. Also check for open circuits, shorts to ground, and shorts to voltage. |
