With the ignition ON and the engine OFF, you should hear a clicking sound when the EVAP canister purge solenoid valve is commanded to 50 percent with a scan tool. The clicking sound should stop when the EVAP canister purge solenoid valve is commanded to 0 percent. The rate at which the valve cycles should increase when the commanded state is increased and decrease when the commanded state is decreased.

  1. With the ignition ON and the engine OFF, command the EVAP vent solenoid ON and OFF with a scan tool.
  2. Listen for a click when the valve operates. Verify that both the ON and the OFF states are commanded.
