- Check VSV for EVAP with an ohmmeter connected between VSV terminals. See Fig 1. Resistance should be 27-33 ohms at 68°F (20°C). If resistance is to specification, go to next step. If resistance is not to specification, replace VSV.
- Using ohmmeter, ensure there is no continuity between each terminal and VSV body. See Fig 2. If continuity is present, replace VSV. If continuity is not present, check that air does not flow between ports "E" to "F". See Fig 3. Apply battery voltage between VSV terminals. Air should flow between ports "E" to "F". See Fig 4.
