Diagnostic Procedure
- Check for any related TSBs before continuing.
Ignition on, engine not running.
With the DRBIII®, read DTCs and record the related Freeze Frame data.
Is the Good Trip Counter displayed and equal to zero?
- Yes --> Go To 2
- No --> Refer to the SYMPTOM: INTERMITTENT CONDITION Symptom (Diagnostic Procedure).
Perform POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST VER - 5 .
- Turn the ignition off.
Disconnect the EVAP Purge Solenoid harness connector.
Ignition on, engine not running.
Using a 12-volt test light, jump across the (K52) Evap Purge Sol Control circuit and (K70) Evap Purge Sol Signal circuit in the EVAP Purge Solenoid harness connector.
With the DRBIII®, actuate the EVAP Purge Solenoid.
Does the test light flash on and off?
- Yes --> Replace the EVAP Purge Solenoid.
Perform POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST VER - 5 .
- No --> Go To 3
- Yes --> Replace the EVAP Purge Solenoid.
- Turn the ignition off.
Disconnect the PCM harness connectors.
CAUTION: DO NOT PROBE THE PCM HARNESS CONNECTORS. PROBING THE PCM HARNESS CONNECTORS WILL DAMAGE THE PCM TERMINALS RESULTING IN POOR TERMINAL TO PIN CONNECTION. INSTALL MILLER SPECIAL TOOL #8815 TO PERFORM DIAGNOSIS.Measure the resistance of the (K52) Evap Purge Sol Control circuit from the Evap Purge Solenoid harness connector to the appropriate terminal of special tool #8815. Is the resistance below 5.0 ohms?
- Yes --> Go To 4
- No --> Repair the open in the (K52) EVAP Purge Sol Control circuit.
Perform POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST VER - 5 .
- Measure the resistance between ground and the (K52) Evap Purge Sol Control circuit at the Evap Purge Solenoid harness connector.
Is the resistance below 100 ohms?
- Yes --> Repair the short to ground in the (K52) EVAP Purge Sol Control circuit.
Perform POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST VER - 5 .
- No --> Go To 5
- Yes --> Repair the short to ground in the (K52) EVAP Purge Sol Control circuit.
- Measure the resistance of the (K70) Evap Purge Sol Return circuit from the EVAP Purge Solenoid harness connector to the appropriate terminal of special tool #8815. Is the resistance below 5.0 ohms?
- Yes --> Go To 6
- No --> Repair the open in the (K70) Evap Purge Sol Return circuit.
Perform POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST VER - 5 .
- Measure the resistance between ground and the (K70) Evap Purge Sol Return circuit at the Evap Purge Solenoid harness connector.
Is the resistance below 100 ohms?
- Yes --> Repair the short to ground in the (K70) Evap Purge Sol Return circuit.
Perform POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST VER - 5 .
- No --> Go To 7
- Yes --> Repair the short to ground in the (K70) Evap Purge Sol Return circuit.
- Using the schematics as a guide, inspect the wire harness and connectors. Pay particular attention to all Power and Ground circuits.
If there are no possible causes remaining, view repair.
