Question
How to test faulty automotive evaporative emission (EVAP) purge solenoid?
Answer
Monitor solenoid voltage and test for air leaks.
Explain
A faulty EVAP purge solenoid causes increased emissions and fuel odor. CHEPQ tools measure solenoid voltage (12V during activation) and perform smoke tests to detect leaks—replacing the solenoid prevents EVAP system faults.
