DIAGNOSIS

Required Special Tool:

• MB991502: Scan Tool (MUT-II)

STEP 1. Using scan tool MB991502, check actuator test 
item 08: Evaporative Emission Purge Solenoid.

CAUTION

To prevent damage to scan tool MB991502, always turn the 
ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position before con-
necting or disconnecting scan tool MB991502.
(1) Connect scan tool MB991502 to the data link connector.
(2) Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
(3) Set scan tool MB991502 to the actuator test mode for item 

08, Evaporative emission purge solenoid.

• An operation sound should be heard and vibration 

should be felt when the evaporative emission purge 
solenoid is operated.

(4) Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.
Q: Is the solenoid operating properly?

YES : It can be assumed that this malfunction is intermittent. 

Refer to GROUP 00, How to Use Troubleshooting/
Inspection Service Points 

P.00-6

.

NO :  Go to Step 2.

STEP 2 Check harness connector B-06 at the evaporative 
emission purge solenoid for damage.
Q: Is the harness connector in good condition?

YES : Go to Step 3.
NO :  Repair or replace it. Refer to GROUP 00E, Harness 

Connector Inspection 

P.00E-2

. Then go to Step 12.

STEP 3 Check the evaporative emission purge solenoid.
(1) Disconnect the evaporative emission purge solenoid 

connector B-06.

(2) Measure the resistance between evaporative emission 

purge solenoid side connector terminal No. 1 and No. 2.

Standard value: 30 

− 34 ohms [at 20°C (68°F)]

Q: Is the resistance between 30 and 34 ohms [at 20

°C 

(68

°F)]?

YES : Go to Step 4
NO :  Replace the evaporative emission purge solenoid. 

Then go to Step 12.

STEP 4. Measure the power supply voltage at evaporative 
emission purge solenoid harness side connector B-06.
(1) Disconnect the connector B-06 and measure at the harness 

side.

(2) Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.

(3) Measure the voltage between terminal No. 2 and ground.

• Voltage should be battery positive voltage.

(4) Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.
Q: Is battery positive voltage (approximately 12 volts) 

present?
YES : Go to Step 6.
NO :  Go to Step 5.

STEP 5. Check harness connector B-22X at MFI relay for 
damage.
Q: Is the harness connector in good condition?

YES : Repair harness wire between MFI relay connector B-

22X (terminal No. 1) and evaporative emission purge 
solenoid connector B-06 (terminal No. 2) because of 
open circuit or short circuit to ground. Then go to Step 
12.

NO :  Repair or replace it. Refer to GROUP 00E, Harness 

Connector Inspection 

P.00E-2

. Then go to Step 12. 

STEP 6. Measure the power supply voltage at PCM 
connector D-132 by backprobing.
(1) Do not disconnect the connector D-132.
(2) Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.

(3) Measure the voltage between terminal No. 23 and ground 

by backprobing.

• Voltage should be battery positive voltage.

(4) Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.
Q: Is battery positive voltage (approximately 12 volts) 

present?
YES : Go to Step 9.
NO :  Go to Step 7.
