Circuit/System Description
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 8 other vehicles, including the 2012 GMC Yukon XL, 2012 GMC Yukon, 2012 Chevrolet Tahoe, 2012 Chevrolet Suburban, and 2012 Chevrolet Avalanche. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
An ignition voltage is supplied directly to the evaporative emission (EVAP) purge solenoid valve. The engine control module (ECM) grounds the EVAP purge solenoid valve control circuit through an internal switch called a driver. The ECM monitors the status of the driver. The EVAP purge solenoid valve is pulse width modulated (PWM). A scan tool will display the amount of ON time as a percentage. If the ECM detects an incorrect voltage for the commanded state of the driver this DTC sets.
