Purge Solenoid

Service and repair of the evaporative emission canister purge valve begins with putting the vehicle in NEUTRAL position and hoisting it. A disconnect of the battery ground cable prevents electrical sparks from occurring because the EVAP system contains fuel vapor with ignition potential. The service begins with disconnecting the EVAP canister purge valve electrical connector before removing the two vapor tube quick connect couplings. The valve must be detached first from its bracket before removing it from the vehicle. Execute the process of valve installation by following the reverse steps of removal. Perform a leak test of the EVAP system before conducting an evaporative emission repair verification drive cycle to check the system's correct operation.

The first step to service and repair the canister purge valve should start with disconnecting the battery ground cable to reduce electrical spark potential in an area where fuel vapors accumulate. This precaution protects against fire and explosion hazards. The vehicle needs to be on a hoist in NEUTRAL mode. Service the canister purge valve by following the instructions exactly while removing components in the correct order as depicted in the illustrations. You must take out the fuel tank for this work sequence. When installing the component, follow the same backwards sequence of removal steps to finish the service work. Observed precautions must be applied to fuel-related work areas because exposure to fuel can lead to dangerous personal injuries.

A correct procedure to service and repair the evaporative emission canister purge valve begins with placing the vehicle in NEUTRAL position on a hoist. The process starts with removing the battery ground cable to prevent electrical sparks that might cause explosive fuel vapors. The first step involves separating the electrical connector from the EVAP canister purge valve and then unattaching the two vapor tube fast connect couplings. Detach the valve from its bracket then pull it out from the vehicle. The reverse procedure should be followed to install the new valve. You should test the evaporative emission system for leaks before executing the evaporative emission repair verification drive cycle to verify system functionality.
