Important: Proceed with the following procedure only if referenced by an evaporative emission (EVAP) diagnostic or repair procedure.
- Turn OFF the ignition.
- Remove the EVAP canister purge solenoid. Refer to
Evaporative Emission Canister Purge Solenoid Valve Replacement
.
- Lightly tap the EVAP canister purge valve on a hard surface.
- Inspect for carbon particles exiting either of the vacuum ports.
• | If no carbon particles were detected, but a blockage was detected during a diagnostic procedure, install the original EVAP canister purge valve. Continue with the cleaning procedure. |
• | If carbon particles are found during the inspection procedure, continue with the cleaning procedure. |
• | If a diagnostic procedure directed you to replace the EVAP canister purge valve and no carbon particles were detected, replace the EVAP canister purge valve. Return to the published service procedure. |
