Circuit/System Testing

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2009 Saturn Vue. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the EVAP canister purge or vent solenoid valve.
  2. Ignition ON, verify that a test lamp illuminates between the B+ or ignition circuit terminal A and ground.
    • If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the B+ or ignition circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal and the voltage supply circuit fuse is open, test or replace the appropriate solenoid valve.
  3. Connect a test lamp between the control circuit terminal B and the B+ or ignition circuit terminal A.
  4. Energize the solenoid with a scan tool. Command the EVAP canister purge solenoid valve to 50 percent with a scan tool, or the EVAP canister vent solenoid valve ON and OFF. The test lamp should respond to the command.
    • If the test lamp is always ON, test the control circuit for a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the control module.
    • If the test lamp is always OFF, test the control circuit for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the control module.
  5. If all circuits test normal, replace the appropriate solenoid valve.
