4. Do the EVAP CVS ON in the INSPECTION MENU with the HDS.
5. Check for Temporary DTCs or DTCs with the HDS.

Is DTC P0498 indicated?

YES - Go to step 6.

NO - Intermittent failure, system is OK at this time. Check for poor connections or loose terminals at the EVAP canister vent shut valve and the ECM/PCM.

6. Turn the ignition switch OFF.
7. Disconnect the EVAP canister vent shut valve 2P connector.
8. Turn the ignition switch ON (II).




9. Measure voltage between EVAP canister vent shut valve 2P connector terminal No. 2 and body ground.

*: 2005-2006 models

Is there battery voltage?

YES - Go to step 10.

NO - 2003-2004 models: Repair open in the wire between the EVAP canister vent shut valve and the No. 18 ACG (15 A) fuse in the under-dash fuse/relay box, then go to step 19.
2005-2006 models: Repair open in the wire between the EVAP canister vent shut valve and the A/F sensor relay, then go to step 19.

10. Turn the ignition switch OFF.




11. Measure resistance between EVAP canister vent shut valve 2P connector terminals No. 1 and No. 2.

Is there about 25 - 30 Ohms at room temperature?

YES - Go to step 12.

NO - Go to step 18.

12. Turn the ignition switch OFF.
13. Jump the SCS line with the HDS.
14. Disconnect ECM/PCM connector A (31P).




15. Check for continuity between ECM/PCM connector terminal A10 and body ground.

Is there continuity?

YES - Repair short in the wire between the EVAP canister vent shut valve and the ECM/PCM (A10), then go to step 19.

NO - Go to step 16.




16. Connect EVAP canister vent shut valve 2P connector terminal No. 1 to body ground with a jumper wire.




17. Check for continuity between ECM/PCM connector terminal A10 and body ground.

Is there continuity?

YES - Go to step 25.

NO - Repair open in the wire between the EVAP canister vent shut valve and the ECM/PCM (A10), then go to step 19.

18. Replace the EVAP canister vent shut valve.
19. Reconnect all connectors.
20. Turn the ignition switch ON (II).
21. Reset the ECM/PCM with the HDS.
22. Do the ECM/PCM idle learn procedure. Programming and Relearning
23. Do the EVAP CVS ON in the INSPECTION MENU with the HDS.
24. Check for Temporary DTCs or DTCs with the HDS.

Are any Temporary DTCs or DTCs indicated?

YES - If DTC P0498 is indicated, check for poor connections or loose terminals at the EVAP canister vent shut valve and the ECM/PCM, then go to step 1. If any other Temporary DTCs or DTCs are indicated, go to the indicated DTC's troubleshooting.

NO - Troubleshooting is complete.

25. Update the ECM/PCM if it does not have the latest software, or substitute a known-good ECM/PCM.
26. Do the EVAP CVS ON in the INSPECTION MENU with the HDS.
27. Check for Temporary DTCs or DTCs with the HDS.

Are any Temporary DTCs or DTCs indicated?

YES - If DTC P0498 is indicated, check for poor connections or loose terminals at the EVAP canister vent shut valve and the ECM/PCM, then go to step 1. If any other Temporary DTCs or DTCs are indicated, go to the indicated DTC's troubleshooting.

NO - If the ECM/PCM was updated, troubleshooting is complete. If the ECM/PCM was substituted, replace the original ECM/PCM.
