WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
  1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the EVAP canister vent solenoid valve.
  2. Ignition ON, verify that a test lamp illuminates between the voltage supply circuit terminal A and ground.
    • If a 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 or replace the EVAP canister vent solenoid valve.
  3. Connect a test lamp between the voltage supply circuit terminal A and the control circuit terminal B.
  4. Command the solenoid ON and OFF with a scan tool. The test lamp should turn ON and OFF when changing between commanded states.
    • If the test lamp is always ON, test the control circuit for a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
    • 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 ECM.
  5. If all circuits test normal, replace the EVAP canister vent solenoid valve.
