INSPECTION
FUNCTION AND OPERATION PRINCIPLE
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.
SPECIFICATION
Item specification
Coil Resistance (ohm) 19.0 - 22.0 ohms at 20 °C (68 °F)
CIRCUIT DIAGRAM
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.
Specification: Refer to SPECIFICATION.
