Description

INFOID:0000000004349770

The EVAP canister purge volume control solenoid valve uses a ON/

OFF duty to control the flow rate of fuel vapor from the EVAP canis-

ter. The EVAP canister purge volume control solenoid valve is

moved by ON/OFF pulses from the ECM. The longer the ON pulse,

the greater the amount of fuel vapor that will flow through the valve.

DTC CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE

1.

CONDITIONING

If DTC Confirmation Procedure has been previously conducted, always turn ignition switch OFF and wait at

least 10 seconds before conducting the next test.

TESTING CONDITION:

Before performing the following procedure, confirm battery voltage is more than 11V at idle.

>> GO TO 2.

2.

PERFORM DTC CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE

1. Start engine and let it idle for at least 13 seconds.

2. Check 1st trip DTC.
Is 1st trip DTC detected?

YES

>> Go to 

EC-811, "Diagnosis Procedure"

.

NO

>> INSPECTION END

Diagnosis Procedure

With CONSULT-III

1. Reconnect all harness connectors disconnected.

2. Start engine.

3. Perform “PURG VOL CONT/V” in “ACTIVE TEST” mode with CONSULT-III. Check that engine speed var-

ies according to the valve opening.

Is the inspection result normal?

YES

>> GO TO 6.

NO

>> GO TO 5.
