5. Measure the resistance between the terminals of the solenoid valve.

PCSV coil resistance(Ω) :
19.0 ~ 22.0Ω at 20°C (68°F)

DESCRIPTION

Purge Control Solenoid Valve (PCSV) is installed on the surge tank and controls the passage between the canister
and the intake manifold. It is a solenoid valve and is open when the PCM grounds the valve control line. When the
passage is open (PCSV ON), fuel vapors stored in the canister is transferred to the intake manifold.
