Purge Control Solenoid Valve (Optima, Magentis (Canadian) 2.4L & Sedona)

Disconnect Purge Control Solenoid Valve (PCSV) 2-pin harness connector. To locate PCSV, see Fig 1 and Fig 2 . Measure resistance between two terminals (component side). Seetest procedure No. 1 in Fig 3. Resistance should be 23-26 ohms at 68°F (20°C). If resistance is not as specified, replace PCSV. If resistance is as specified, go to next step.
Remove PCSV. PCSV is normally closed. Connect a vacuum pump to PCSV port "A" and apply vacuum, vacuum should be held. While applying vacuum, open PCSV by jumpering one PCSV terminal to battery positive terminal. Jumper other PCSV terminal to battery negative terminal. Seetest procedure No. 2 in Fig 3. Check if vacuum is released when PCSV is open. If problem exists, replace PCSV.
