SOLENOID, Evaporative Emissions Purge
DESCRIPTION
DESCRIPTION
![]() |
The EVAP canister purge solenoid (1) is located in the engine compartment attached to the battery tray.
The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) operates the EVAP canister purge solenoid depending upon engine operating conditions.
OPERATION
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.
