DTC P0498: NVLD Canister Vent Valve Solenoid Circuit Low: Testing
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2002 Dodge Intrepid, 2002 Chrysler Intrepid, 2002 Chrysler Concorde, and 2002 Chrysler 300M. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Turn ignition on, engine not running. With the DRBIII®, read DTCs and record related Freeze Frame data. Is the Good Trip counter displayed and equal to zero? If yes, go to next step. If no, go to step 4.
- Turn the ignition off. Disconnect the NVLD Assembly harness connector. Measure the resistance of the NVLD Solenoid coil (terminals No. 1 and 3). Is the resistance between 7.5 to 8.5 ohms? If yes, go to next step. If no, replace the NVLD Assembly.
- Turn the ignition off. Disconnect the PCM harness connectors. Measure the resistance between ground and the NVLD Solenoid Control circuit at the NVLD Assembly harness connector. If the resistance below 5.0 ohms? If yes, replace the short to ground in the NVLD Solenoid Control circuit. If no, check the PCM harness connector terminals for corrosion, damage or terminal push out. Repair as necessary. If connectors are okay, replace PCM. Program the new PCM. See PROGRAMMING .
- The conditions that set the DTC are not present at this time. The following may help in identifying the intermittent condition. With the engine running at normal operating temperature, monitor the DRBIII® parameters related to the DTC while wiggling the wiring harness. Look for parameter values to change and/or a DTC to set. Review the DRBIII® Freeze Frame information. If possible, try to duplicate the conditions under which the DTC was set. Refer to any Technical Service Bulletins (TSB) that may apply. Visually inspect the related wiring harness. Look for any chafed, pierced, pinched, or partially broken wires. Visually inspect the related wiring harness connectors. Look for broken, bent, pushed out, or corroded terminals. Were any of the above conditions present? If yes, repair as necessary. If no, test is complete.
NOTE:
NVLD Assembly may also be referred to as a leak detection pump.
WARNING:
When the engine is operating, do not stand in a direct line with the fan. Do not put your hands near the pulleys, belts or fan. Do not wear loose clothing.
