Circuit/System Testing
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 8 other vehicles, including the 2011 GMC Yukon XL, 2011 GMC Yukon, 2011 Chevrolet Tahoe, 2011 Chevrolet Suburban, and 2011 Chevrolet Avalanche. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the EVAP canister purge solenoid valve.
- Ignition ON, verify that a test lamp illuminates between the ignition circuit terminal A and ground.
- If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the ignition circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal and the ignition circuit fuse is not open, test or replace the EVAP canister purge solenoid.
- Verify that a test lamp does not illuminate between the ignition circuit terminal A and the control circuit terminal B.
- If the test lamp illuminates, test the control circuit for a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
- Remove the test lamp, and install a 3 A fused jumper wire between the control circuit terminal B and the ignition circuit terminal A. Command the purge solenoid to 50 percent with a scan tool. Verify the scan tool purge solenoid Ckt. Short Volts Test Status Parameter is Fault.
- If not the specified value and, the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
- If all circuits test normal, replace the purge solenoid valve.
