Circuit/System Testing
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.
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the Q12 Evaporative Emission 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 all components connected to the voltage supply circuit and replace as necessary.
- 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 K20 Engine Control Module.
- 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 % with a scan tool. Verify the scan tool EVAP Purge Solenoid Valve Control Circuit High Voltage Test Status parameter is Malfunction.
- If not the specified value and, the circuit tests normal, replace the K20 Engine Control Module.
- If all circuits test normal, replace the Q12 Evaporative Emission Purge Solenoid Valve.
