CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The canister purge solenoid valve is controlled by the
Engine Train Control Module (ECM).
At an appropriate time, the EVAP canister purge
solenoid is “ON," allowing engine vacuum to draw a
small vacuum on the entire evaporative emissions
system.
DIAGNOSTIC AIDS
An intermittent may be caused by the following:
Poor connections.
Mis routed harness.
Rubbed through wire insulation.
Broken wire inside the insulation.
Check for the following conditions:
Poor connection at ECM-Inspect harness connectors
for backed out terminals, improper mating, broken
locks, improperly formed or damaged terminals, and
poor terminal to wire connection.
Damaged harness-Inspect the wiring harness fo
r
damage. If the harness appears to be OK, observe
the EVAP purge solenoid display on the Tech 2 while
moving connectors and wiring harnesses related to
the sensor.
A change in the display will indicate the location o
f
the fault. If DTC P0444 or P0445 cannot be
duplicated, the information included in the Failure
Records data can be useful in determined vehicle
mileage since the DTC was last set.
If it is determined that the DTC occurs intermittently,
performing the DTC P0444 or P0445 Diagnostic
Chart may isolate the cause of the fault.
