How to troubleshoot an EVAP vent solenoid wiring?
The wiring will look completely fine until you pull on the harness. In this video I will show you how to troubleshoot and repair this condition. For more information on this topic, I have written a “field manual” called Engine Performance Diagnostics which is available as an eBook or paper book. Want even more diagnostic training?
What’s the voltage of the purge valve solenoid?
EVAP purge valve solenoid voltage read the same as alternator voltage most of the time. On the EVAP graph you can see the highest voltage registered during the 6 mile trip was 14.62 V and the lowest was 5.95 V. I assume the voltage drop corresponds to the valve opening and purging the canister.
Which is the solenoid on the canister vent?
The first solenoid is called the is the Canister Vent Solenoid (CV). The Pressure (FTP) sensor. three hoses and two wires going to it. Two of usually 3/8”. The third hose is smaller, vacuum on it. One of the wires has battery solenoid.

What does the canister purge solenoid do in a charcoal engine?
The EVAP system traps this vapor in a charcoal canister and recirculates it for use as fuel for the engine and prevented from polluting the environment. The canister purge solenoid — also referred to as an EVAP canister valve — is responsible for “purging” the EVAP system by acting as the switch that allows the vapor into the engine.
