Static Test
- Ignition/Vehicle - Off
- Disconnect the electrical connector:Q13 Evaporative Emission Vent Solenoid Valve
- Test for 10 to 30 ohms between the test points:Control terminal 1/A & B+ terminal 2/B
- If not between 10 and 30 ohms
Replace the component:Q13 Evaporative Emission Vent Solenoid Valve
- Go to next step: If between 10 and 30 ohms
- If not between 10 and 30 ohms
- All OK.
Dynamic Test
- Ignition/Vehicle - Off
- Disconnect the electrical connector: Q13 Evaporative Emission Vent Solenoid Valve
- Connect a 3 A fused jumper wire between the test points: B+ terminal 2/B & 12 V
- Momentarily connect a jumper wire between the test points: Control terminal 1/A & Ground
Verify the component turns On and Off when connecting and disconnecting the jumper wire: Q13 Evaporative Emission Vent Solenoid Valve
- If the component does not turn On and Off
Replace the component:Q13 Evaporative Emission Vent Solenoid Valve
- Go to next step: If the component turns On and Off
- If the component does not turn On and Off
- All OK.
CAUTION:
