Canister Close Valve

  1. Canister Close Valve (CCV) is located near EVAP canister. Measure resistance between CCV terminals. Resistance should be 23-26 ohms at 68°F (20°C). See Fig 1 test procedure No. 1. If resistance is not as specified, replace CCV. If resistance is as specified, go to next step.
  2. Remove CCV. CCV should be open. Blow air into port "A" and verify air escapes from port "B". Close CCV using a fused jumper wire connected to battery voltage and terminal No. 1 (Sedona), and grounding terminal No. 2. All other models, connect battery voltage to terminal No. 2, and grounding termial No. 1. See Fig 1 test procedure No. 2. Blow air into port "A" and verify air does not escape from port "B". If air does not escape from port "B", CCV is operating properly. If air escape from port "B" replace CCV.
