Solenoid Valve

Service of the evaporative emission canister purge valve begins by disconnecting its electrical connector before removing both quick connect couplings on the vapor tube-to-EVAP canister purge valve inlet and outlet. The retaining tab requires depression to allow the EVAP canister purge valve removal from its bracket. To replace the component, simply follow the proper removal order in reverse direction. Installation must be followed by an Evaporative Emission System Leak Test together with the evaporative emission repair verification drive cycle.

Beginning any evaporative emission canister purge valve servicing requires you to disconnect the battery ground cable to prevent both explosion and fire hazards from fuel vapor discharge. You need to take out the lower cowl panel when working on the EVAP canister purge valve of vehicles running on 3.0L or 3.5L engines. Service on the EVAP canister purge valve requires the electrical connector to be removed and two quick connect couplings to be separated from the EVAP canister vapor tube. Toward the end of the EVAP canister purge valve bracket use the tab to unlatch it from its position. The installation of the new valve requires following the opposite direction of removal steps. Verify proper operation of the evaporative emission system through testing of leaks and performing an evaporative emission repair verification drive cycle after installation.

The Evaporative Emission Canister Purge Valve demands a safety step to prevent smoking or using lighted tobacco and open flames in the vicinity of fuel-related components due to highly flammable mixture propagation. Personal electronic devices such as cell phones and audio equipment must remain outside the working area when servicing operations take place. It is essential to disconnect the battery ground cable prior to servicing both EVAP components and fuel-related components. The removal process for the EVAP canister purge valve starts with eliminating the lower cowl panel grille on 3.0L and 3.5L vehicles to access the valve. The EVAP canister purge valve electrical connector needs disconnection after taking down the battery ground cable. Remove both vapor jumper tube-to-EVAP canister purge valve quick connect couplings from each other. You can eliminate the EVAP canister purge valve from its bracket by pressing down the tab. Installation of the new valve will proceed by following the uninstallation procedures in reverse order. The Evaporative Emission System Leak Test should be performed right after installation to verify proper system functioning.

Service and repair of the Evaporative Emission Canister Purge Valve requires avoiding all smoking activities as well as keeping tobacco lit items and open flames away from fuel components which might contain highly dangerous vapors. Workers must keep their personal electronic devices including cell phones together with audio equipment outside of the work area. The EVAP system and all fuel-related components require disconnecting the battery ground cable before commencement of any work on those systems. Proceed with the procedure by first eliminating power supply from the battery ground then disconnecting the EVAP canister purge valve's electrical connection. Remove both quick connect couplings from the outlet and inlet of the vapor tube and the EVAP canister purge valve. Balancing the retaining tab allows you to free and extract the EVAP canister purge valve from its fixture. The reverse procedure should be performed to finalize installation. A proper check of system functionality requires running the Evaporative Emission System Leak Test after completion of installation.

The first step when conducting service or repairs on an evaporative emission canister purge valve requires safety precautions including restriction of smoking and fire sources near fuel components because highly flammable substance mixtures might exist. Start the procedure by removing the lower cowl panel grille to reach the valve in 3.0L and 3.5L vehicles. The first step involves disconnecting the electrical connector from the EVAP canister purge valve before proceeding with disconnecting the two vapor jumper tube-to-EVAP canister purge valve quick connect couplings. A depression of the tab will allow you to remove the EVAP canister purge valve from its mount. Procedure for installing the new valve follows the steps of uninstallation in reverse order. A successful Evaporative Emission System Leak Test and an EVAP repair verification drive cycle should be completed following the installation to verify correct operation.

Disconnect the electrical connector and the two vapor jump tube-to-EVAP canister purge valve quick connect couplings.

Disconnect the electrical connector from the EVAP canister purge valve and detach the two vapor tube-to-EVAP canister purge valve quick connect couplings.

Avoid smoking, open flames, and personal electronic devices, as highly flammable mixtures may be present and could ignite, leading to serious personal injury.

Disconnect the vapor tube-to-EVAP canister purge valve inlet and outlet quick connect couplings.

Depress the retaining tab to release and remove the EVAP canister purge valve.
