Diagnosis & Repair Procedure

NOTE: For better performance and results of this diagnostic procedure, usage of appropriate wiring diagram is recommended. See ENGINE PERFORMANCE in SYSTEM WIRING DIAGRAMS article in ELECTRICAL.
NOTE: Perform all voltage and resistance tests using a Digital Volt-Ohmmeter (DVOM) with a minimum 10-megohm input impedance, unless stated otherwise in test procedure. Use an ohmmeter to isolate wiring harness shorts or opens.
  1. If engine system check has been performed, go to next step. If engine system check has not been performed, perform TEST D: ENGINE SYSTEM CHECK  under SYSTEM TESTS then go to next step.
  2. Turn ignition switch to LOCK position. Disconnect EVAP-CPV 2-pin harness connector C28. See Figure. Turn ignition switch to ON position. Measure voltage between ground and EVAP-CPV harness connector C28 terminal No. 2 (Red/Black wire). See Fig 1. If voltage is 10-14 volts, go to next step. If voltage is not 10-14 volts, repair open or short circuit in Black/Black wire between EVAP-CPV, main relay and ECM. After repair, repeat DTC CONFIRMATION TEST .
  3. Turn ignition switch to LOCK position. Disconnect ECM harness connector C46. See Figure. Check resistance between ground and ECM harness connector C46 terminal No. 6 (Blue/Black wire). See Figure. If resistance is infinity, go to next step. If any resistance is found, repair short to ground in Blue/Black wire between EVAP-CPV and ECM. After repair, repeat DTC CONFIRMATION TEST .
  4. Turn ignition switch to ON position. Measure voltage between ground and ECM harness connector C46 terminal No. 6 (Blue/Black wire). See Figure. If voltage is zero volt, go to next step. If any voltage is found, repair short to voltage in Blue/Black wire between EVAP-CPV and ECM. After repair, repeat DTC CONFIRMATION TEST .
  5. Turn ignition switch to LOCK position. Reconnect EVAP-CPV harness connector. Turn ignition switch to ON position. Measure voltage between ground and ECM harness connector C46 terminal No. 6 (Blue/Black wire). See Figure. If voltage is 10-14 volts, go to next step. If voltage is not 10-14 volts, repair open or short circuit in Blue/Black wire between EVAP-CPV and ECM. After repair, repeat DTC CONFIRMATION TEST .
  6. Turn ignition switch to LOCK position. Perform EVAP-CPV component test. See EVAP CANISTER PURGE VALVE under FUEL EVAPORATION under EMISSION SYSTEMS & SUB-SYSTEMS in SYSTEM & COMPONENT TESTING article. If EVAP-CPV is okay, go to next step. If EVAP-CPV is faulty, replace as necessary and repeat DTC CONFIRMATION TEST .
  7. Ensure ignition switch in LOCK position and EVAP-CPV harness connector is connected. Disconnect ECM harness connector G04. See Figure. Measure resistance between ECM harness connector G04 terminals No. 8 or 23 (Red/Black wire) and ECM harness connector C46 terminal No. 6 (Blue/Black wire). See Figure. If resistance is less than 40 ohms at 68°F (20°C), substitute ECM with a known good unit and repeat DTC CONFIRMATION TEST . If resistance is 40 ohms or more at 68°F (20°C), repair short circuit in Black/Red or Blue/Black wire between EVAP-CPV, main relay and ECM. After repair, repeat DTC CONFIRMATION TEST .
