DTC P0499: NVLD Canister Vent Valve Solenoid Circuit High: Testing
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 Dodge Dakota. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Ignition on, engine not running. With the DRBIII® scan tool, read DTCs and record the related freeze frame data. Is the Good Trip Counter displayed and equal to zero? If yes, go to next step. If no, see INTERMITTENT CONDITION under SELF-DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM.
- Turn the ignition off. Disconnect the NVLD assembly harness connector. Measure the resistance of the NVLD solenoid coil in the NVLD assembly. Is the resistance between 7.5-8.5 ohms? If yes, go to next step. If no, replace the NVLD assembly.
- Disconnect the PCM harness connectors. Measure the voltage on the (K106) NVLD solenoid control circuit in the NVLD assembly harness connector. Is the voltage above 1.0 volt? If yes, repair the short to battery voltage in the (K106) NVLD solenoid control circuit. If no, go to next step.
- Turn the ignition off. Disconnect the NVLD assembly harness connector. Disconnect the PCM harness connectors. Measure the resistance of the (K106) NVLD solenoid control circuit from the NVLD assembly harness connector to the appropriate terminal of Miller Special Tool (8815). Is the resistance below 5.0 ohms? If yes, go to next step. If no, repair the open in the (K106) NVLD solenoid control circuit.
- Measure the resistance between the (Z1) ground circuit and ground. Is the resistance below 5.0 ohms? If yes, go to next step. If no, repair the open in the (Z1) ground circuit.
- Using the wiring diagram as a guide, inspect the wire harness and connectors. Visually inspect the related wire harness. Look for any chafed, pierced, pinched, or partially broken wires. Visually inspect both the component and the PCM connectors. Pay particular attention to all power and ground circuits. If there are no possible causes remaining, replace and program the PCM. See PROGRAMMING .
CAUTION:
Do not probe the PCM harness connectors. Probing the PCM harness connectors will damage the PCM terminals resulting in poor terminal to pin connection. Install Miller Special Tool (8815) to perform diagnosis.
NOTE:
Before continuing, disconnect the PCM harness connectors and check the related wiring terminals for corrosion, damage or terminal push out. Repair as necessary.
