Purge Control Solenoid Valve
(PCSV)

2007 > 2.7L V6 GASOLINE >
INSPECTION
When disconnecting the vacuum hose, make an identification mark on it so that it can be reconnected to its
original position.
1. Disconnect the vacuum hose from the solenoid valve.
2. Detach the harness connector.
3. Connect a vacuum pump to the nipple which is connected to intake manifold.
4. Apply vacuum and check when voltage is applied to the PCSV and when the voltage is discontinued.
Battery voltage Normal condition
When applied Vacuum is released
When discontinued Vacuum is maintained
5. Measure the resistance between the terminals of the solenoid valve.
PCSV coil resistance(Ω) :
14.0 ~ 18.0Ω at 20°C (68°F)
INSPECTION
FUNCTION AND OPERATION PRICIPLE
Purge Control Solenoid Valve (PCSV) is installed on the surge tank and controls the passage between the canister
and the intake manifold. It is a solenoid valve and is open when the PCM grounds the valve control line. When the
passage is open (PCSV ON), fuel vapors stored in the canister is transferred to the intake manifold.

COMPONENT INSPECTION
1.Turn ignition switch OFF.
2. Disconnect PCSV connector.
3. Measure resistance between PCSV terminals 1 and 2.
4.Check that the resistance is within the specification.

Exhaust Emission Control System

2007 > 2.7L V6 GASOLINE >
DESCRIPTION
Modifications to the combustion chamber, intake manifold, camshaft and ignition system form the basic control system.
These items have been integrated into a highly effective system which controls exhaust emissions while maintaining
good driveability and fuel economy.
AIR/FUEL MIXTURE CONTROL SYSTEM [MULTIPORT FUEL INJECTION (MFI) SYSTEM]
This in turn allows the engine to produce exhaust gases of the proper composition to permit the use of a three way
catalyst. The three way catalyst is designed to convert the three pollutants (1) hydrocarbons (HC), (2) carbon
monoxide (CO), and (3) oxides of nitrogen (NOx) into harmless substances. There are two operating modes in the MFI
system.
1. Open Loop air/fuel ratio is controlled by information programmed into the ECM.
2. Closed Loop air/fuel ratio is adjusted by the ECM based on information supplied by the oxygen sensor.
