Purge Control 
Solenoid Valve.>

5

CHECK POWER SUPPLY TO PURGE CON-
TROL SOLENOID VALVE.
1) Turn the ignition switch to ON.
2) Measure the voltage between purge control 
solenoid valve and engine ground.

Connector & terminal

(E4) No. 1 (+) — Engine ground (

−

):

Is the voltage more than 10 V? Go to step 6.

Repair the open 
circuit of harness 
between main 
relay and purge 
control solenoid 
valve connector.

6

CHECK POOR CONTACT.
Check poor contact in purge control solenoid 
valve connector.

Is there poor contact in purge 
control solenoid valve connec-
tor?

Repair the poor 
contact in purge 
control solenoid 
valve connector.

Replace the ECM.

Step

Check

Yes

No

1

CHECK OUTPUT SIGNAL FROM ECM.
1) Turn the ignition switch to OFF.
2) Connect the test mode connector at the 
lower portion of instrument panel (on the 
driver’s side).
3) Turn the ignition switch to ON.
4) Measure the voltage between ECM and 
chassis ground while operating the purge con-
trol solenoid valve.

NOTE:

Purge control solenoid valve operation can be
executed using Subaru Select Monitor. Refer to
“Compulsory Valve Operation Check Mode” for
procedures. <Ref. to EN(H4SO 2.0)(diag)-39,
