SOLENOID-EVAP/PURGE
DESCRIPTION
The duty cycle EVAP canister purge solenoid is located in the engine compartment. It is attached to the side of the
Power Distribution Center (PDC).
OPERATION
The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) operates the solenoid.
During the cold start warm-up period and the hot start time delay, the PCM does not energize the solenoid. When
de-energized, no vapors are purged. The PCM de-energizes the solenoid during open loop operation.
The engine enters closed loop operation after it reaches a specified temperature and the time delay ends. During
closed loop operation, the PCM energizes and de-energizes the solenoid 5 or 10 times per second, depending upon
operating conditions. The PCM varies the vapor flow rate by changing solenoid pulse width. Pulse width is the
amount of time the solenoid energizes. The PCM adjusts solenoid pulse width based on engine operating condition.
