Circuit Description
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 Pontiac Grand Prix, 2003 Chevrolet Malibu, and 2003 Buick Century. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
An ignition voltage is supplied directly to the Evaporative Emission (EVAP) canister purge valve. The EVAP canister purge valve is Pulse Width Modulated (PWM). The scan tool displays the amount of ON time as a percentage. The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) monitors the status of the driver. The PCM controls the EVAP canister purge valve ON time by grounding the control circuit via an internal switch called a driver. If the PCM detects an incorrect voltage for the commanded state of the driver, this DTC sets.
