Apply vacuum and check when voltage is applied to the PCSV and when the voltage is discontinued.
Battery voltage | Normal condition |
When applied | Vacuum is released |
When discontinued | Vacuum is maintained |
When disconnecting the vacuum hose, make an identification mark on it so that it can be reconnected to its original position.
Disconnect the vacuum hose from the solenoid valve.
Detach the harness connector.
Connect a vacuum pump to the nipple to which the red-striped vacuum hose was connected.
Apply vacuum and check when voltage is applied to the PCSV and when the voltage is discontinued.
Battery voltage | Normal condition |
When applied | Vacuum is released |

Measure the resistance between the terminals of the solenoid valve.
PCSV coil resistance(Ω) : 19.0 ~ 22.0 Ω at 20℃ (68℉)
Purge Control Solenoid Valve (PCSV) is installed on the surge tank and controls the passage between the canister and the intake manifold. It is a solenoid valve and is open when the PCM grounds the valve control line. When the passage is open (PCSV ON), fuel stored in the canister is transferred to the intake manifold.
