Ventilation Solenoid (Diamante, Montero, Montero Sport & Outlander)

1. Connect a hand vacuum pump to nipple (A) of the solenoid. See Fig 1-Fig 7 .
2. Check air tightness by applying a vacuum with voltage applied directly from the battery to the evaporative emission ventilation solenoid and without applying voltage. When voltage is applied, the vacuum should be maintained. When voltage is absent, the vacuum should leak.
3. Measure the resistance between the terminals of the solenoid. Standard value: 17-21 ohms @ 68°F (20°C).
4. Replace the solenoid if resistance is out of specification.
