noid valve connec-
tor.
NOTE:In this case, repair
the following item:
•Open circuit
of harness be-
tween ECM and
purge control
solenoid valve
connector
•Poor contact
of coupling con-
nector
4CHECK PURGE CONTROL SOLENOID
VALVE.
1) Remove the purge control solenoid valve.
2) Measure the resistance between purge
control solenoid valve terminals.
Te r m i n a l s

5CHECK POWER SUPPLY TO PURGE CON-
TROL SOLENOID VALVE.
1) Turn the ignition switch to ON.
2) Measure the voltage between purge control
solenoid valve and engine ground.
Connector & terminal
(E4) No. 1 (+) — Engine ground (–):
Is the voltage more than 10 V? Go to step 6.Repair the open
circuit of harness
between main
relay and purge
control solenoid
valve connector.
6CHECK POOR CONTACT.
Check poor contact of purge control solenoid
valve connector.
Is there poor contact of purge
control solenoid valve connec-
tor?
Repair the poor
contact of purge
control solenoid
valve connector.
