Canister Vent Solenoid Closing Procedure
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 Mazda Tribute. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
CAUTION:
- The canister vent solenoid must not be energized for more than nine minutes at one time. Once the canister vent solenoid is energized and de-energized, adequate time must be allowed for the component to cool adequately. Failure to allow the component to cool may create a false failure in the diagnostics, causing unnecessary repairs.
- Connect the WDS or equivalent Tester and select the output test mode.
- Select the EVAPCU PID.
- Select the ALL OFF mode.
- Close the canister vent solenoid by pushing the START button on the WDS or equivalent Tester.
