Repair as necessary. If no problems are found, go to next step.
- Disconnect vacuum hose from EVAP 3-way valve and connect vacuum pump to hose. EVAP control canister is located at right side of engine compartment, under fuel filter. See Fig 1 . See VACUUM DIAGRAMS article. Turn ignition on and apply vacuum to hose (5 quick strokes). If EVAP control canister vent shut valve does not hold a vacuum, go to step 4). If vent shut valve holds a vacuum, go to next step.
- Disconnect EVAP control canister vent shut valve 2-pin connector. If vent shut valve holds a vacuum, replace vent shut valve. If vent shut valve does not hold a vacuum, repair short in Light Green/White wire between vent shut valve and PCM 32-pin connector "A" terminal A4. See Figure . See WIRING DIAGRAMS article.
- Turn ignition off. Connect a fused jumper wire between ground and PCM 32-pin connector "A" terminal A4. See Figure . Turn ignition on and apply vacuum to vent shut valve vacuum hose. If vent shut valve holds a vacuum, go to step 7). If vent shut valve does not hold a vacuum, go to next step.
- Turn ignition off. Disconnect vent shut valve 2-pin connector. Turn ignition on. Measure voltage between ground and vent shut valve 2-pin connector terminal No. 2 (Black/White wire). If battery voltage exists, go to next step. If battery voltage does not exist, repair open in Black/White wire between vent shut valve and No. 15 ALTERNATOR SP SENSOR (7.5-amp) fuse located in underdash fuse/relay box. See WIRING DIAGRAMS article.
- Turn ignition off and reconnect vent shut valve 2-pin connector. Turn ignition on. Using backprobe kit, measure voltage between PCM 32-pin connector "A" terminal A4 (Light Green/White wire) and PCM 25-pin connector "B" terminal B2 (Black wire). See Figure and Figure . If battery voltage does not exist, repair open in Light Green/White wire between vent shut valve and PCM. See WIRING DIAGRAMS article. If battery voltage exists, replace EVAP control canister vent shut valve.
- Reconnect vacuum hose to EVAP 3-way valve. Disconnect EVAP purge control solenoid valve vacuum hose from EVAP canister (upper left hose). See Fig 1 . See VACUUM DIAGRAMS article. Attach vacuum gauge to disconnected hose. Start engine and allow it to idle. Ensure engine coolant temperature is less than 154°F (68°C). Quickly increase engine speed to 3000 RPM and check for vacuum. If vacuum exists, go to next step. If vacuum does not exist, go to step 10).
- Disconnect EVAP purge control solenoid valve 2-pin connector. Quickly increase engine speed to 3000 RPM and check for vacuum. If vacuum does not exist, go to next step. If vacuum exists, inspect vacuum hose routing. See VACUUM DIAGRAMS article. If vacuum hose routing is okay, replace EVAP purge control solenoid valve.
- Turn ignition off. Disconnect PCM 32-pin connector "A". Check for continuity between ground and EVAP purge control solenoid valve harness connector terminal No. 2 (Red/Yellow wire). If continuity exists, repair short in Red/Yellow wire between EVAP purge control solenoid valve connector and PCM 32-pin connector "A" terminal A6. See Figure . See WIRING DIAGRAMS article. If continuity does not exist, substitute a known-good PCM and recheck. If symptom or problem goes away, replace original PCM.
- Turn ignition off. Start engine and run at 3000 RPM with no loads and transmission in Park or Neutral until radiator fan comes on. Allow engine to idle. Quickly increase engine speed to 3000 RPM and check for vacuum at EVAP purge control solenoid valve vacuum hose. If vacuum exists, go to step 14). If vacuum does not exist, go to next step.
- Turn ignition off. Disconnect EVAP purge control solenoid valve 2-pin connector. Start engine. Measure voltage between EVAP purge control solenoid valve 2-pin harness connector terminals. If battery voltage does not exist, go to next step. If battery voltage exists, check vacuum hose routing. If vacuum hose routing is okay, replace EVAP purge control solenoid valve.
- Measure voltage between ground and EVAP purge control solenoid valve 2-pin harness connector terminal No. 1 (Black/Yellow wire). If battery voltage exists, go to next step. If battery voltage does not exist, repair open in Black/Yellow wire between EVAP purge control solenoid valve connector and No. 15 ALTERNATOR SP SENSOR (7.5 amp) fuse. See WIRING DIAGRAMS article.
- Turn ignition off and reconnect EVAP purge control solenoid valve 2-pin connector. Turn ignition on. Using backprobe kit, measure voltage between PCM 32-pin connector "A" terminal A6 (Red/Yellow wire) and PCM 25-pin connector "B" terminal B2 (Black wire). See Figure and Figure . If battery voltage does not exist, repair open in Red/Yellow wire between EVAP purge control solenoid valve and PCM. See WIRING DIAGRAMS article. If battery voltage exists, substitute a known-good PCM and recheck. If symptom or problem goes away, replace original PCM.
- Check EVAP 2-way valve. See EMISSION SYSTEMS & SUB SYSTEMS in SYSTEM/COMPONENT TESTS article. Replace EVAP 2-way valve if faulty. If EVAP 2-way valve is okay, disconnect vacuum hoses from EVAP 2-way valve. Connect vacuum pump to EVAP 2-way valve (port to EVAP canister) and apply vacuum. See Fig 2 . If 2-way valve does not hold a vacuum, go to next step. If EVAP 2-way valve holds a vacuum, go to step 16).
- Disconnect EVAP by-pass solenoid valve 2-pin connector. Apply vacuum to 2-way valve hose. If 2-way valve holds a vacuum, repair short in Blue wire between EVAP by-pass solenoid valve connector and PCM 32-pin connector "A" terminal A3. See WIRING DIAGRAMS article. If 2-way valve does not hold a vacuum, replace EVAP by-pass solenoid valve.
- Turn ignition off. Using backprobe kit, connect a fused jumper wire between ground and PCM 32-pin connector "A" terminal A3 (Blue wire). See Figure . Turn ignition on and apply vacuum to 2-way valve. If 2-way valve holds a vacuum, go to next step. If 2-way valve does not hold a vacuum, check following components for leakage to atmosphere, and repair or replace as necessary: fuel filler cap, fuel tank, fuel vapor pipe, EVAP 2-way valve, EVAP by-pass solenoid valve, fuel tank pressure sensor, EVAP control canister, EVAP control canister vent shut valve, EVAP purge control solenoid valve, and vacuum hoses and connections. See VACUUM DIAGRAMS article.
- Turn ignition off. Disconnect EVAP by-pass solenoid valve 2-pin connector. Turn ignition on. Measure voltage between ground and EVAP by-pass solenoid valve connector terminal No. 1 (Black/White wire). If battery voltage exists, go to next step. If battery voltage does not exist, repair open in Black/White wire between EVAP by-pass solenoid valve connector and fuse No. 15 ALTERNATOR SP SENSOR (7.5 amp) fuse. See WIRING DIAGRAMS article.
- Turn ignition off and reconnect EVAP by-pass solenoid valve 2-pin connector. Turn ignition on. Using backprobe kit, measure voltage between PCM 32-pin connector "A" terminal A3 (Blue wire) and PCM 25-pin connector "B" terminal B2 (Black wire). See Figure and Figure . If battery voltage exists, replace EVAP by-pass solenoid valve. If battery voltage does not exist, repair open in Blue wire between EVAP solenoid valve connector and PCM. See WIRING DIAGRAMS article.
