Circuit/System Testing
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2012 GMC Yukon, 2012 Chevrolet Tahoe, and 2012 Cadillac Escalade. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the following:
- Q12 evaporative emission purge solenoid valve for P0443
- Q13 evaporative emission vent solenoid valve for P0449
- Ignition ON, verify that a test lamp illuminates between the voltage supply circuit:
- Terminal A and ground for the purge solenoid valve
- Terminal B and ground for the vent solenoid valve
- If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the voltage supply 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 all components connected to the voltage circuit and replace as necessary.
- Connect a test lamp between the voltage supply circuit and the control circuit.
- With a scan tool command the following:
- EVAP purge solenoid valve to 50%
- EVAP vent solenoid valve ON (Not Venting) and OFF (Venting)
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 K20 Engine 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 K20 Engine Control Module.
- If all circuits test normal, replace the appropriate solenoid valve.
