Caution: Use the EVAP Pressure/Purge Diagnostic Station J 41413 in order to provide a clean, dry, low pressure gas source. Do not substitute any other pressurized gas source. Damage may result to the EVAP system.

Note: Do not perform this procedure unless instructed by an evaporative emission (EVAP) diagnostic.

1. Turn OFF the ignition.
2. Remove the EVAP canister purge solenoid valve. Refer to Evaporative Emission Canister Purge Solenoid Valve Replacement.
3. Lightly tap the EVAP canister purge solenoid valve on a clean hard surface.
4. Inspect for carbon particles exiting either of the vacuum ports.

•	If no carbon particles are found reinstall the EVAP canister purge solenoid valve and continue with the EVAP cleaning procedure. Refer to Evaporative Emission Canister Purge Solenoid Valve Replacement.

•	If carbon particles are found during the inspection procedure, replace the EVAP canister purge solenoid valve and continue with the EVAP cleaning procedure. Refer to Evaporative Emission Canister Purge Solenoid Valve Replacement.

•	If you were instructed to replace the EVAP canister purge solenoid valve, and no carbon particles are found, return to the EVAP diagnostic procedure. Do not perform the EVAP cleaning procedure.
