Ventilation Solenoid (All Others)
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 7 other vehicles, including the 2003 Mitsubishi Outlander, 2003 Mitsubishi Montero Sport, 2003 Mitsubishi Montero, 2003 Mitsubishi Lancer, and 2003 Mitsubishi Galant. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Blow air through the ORVR vent valve module nipple (A). Check that the air flows out of nipple (B) and nipple (C). See Fig 1-Fig 6 .
- Connect a hand vacuum pump to nipple (A) of the ORVR vent valve module.
- With air flow through nipple (C) obstructed, apply a vacuum and check that the vacuum is maintained.
- Check air tightness by applying a vacuum with voltage applied directly from the battery to the ORVR vent valve module and without applying voltage. When voltage is applied, the vacuum should be maintained. When voltage is absent, the vacuum should leak.
- Measure the resistance between the terminals of the solenoid. Standard value: 17-21 ohms at 68°F (20°C).
- Replace the ORVR vent valve module if resistance is out of specification.
