  5. Connect a test lamp between the control circuit of the EVAP canister purge solenoid valve and the ignition 1 voltage circuit of the EVAP canister purge solenoid valve.
    • If the test lamp illuminates, test the control circuit of the EVAP canister purge solenoid valve for a short to ground.
  6. Command the EVAP canister purge solenoid valve to 50 percent with a scan tool.
    • If the test lamp does not flash or illuminate with the command, test the control circuit of the EVAP canister purge solenoid valve for an open or for a short to voltage.
