It merely indicates an issue it observed in the circuit which may or may not be caused by a faulty valve. It requires further diagnosis to confirm the failure cause. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional.

It's located on top of the canister for fuel vapors and may just have vacuum lines or a plug that isn't sending a signal for several reasons such as wire corroded or who knows? There's also a solenoid for the purge valve and not sure if code can differentiate. Do you have any symptoms at all with this?

Hammer Time Ultimate Carjunky / Moderator Dec 26, 2011, 1:02 PM Post #6 of 6 (2700 views) Re: purge valve replacement Sign In You're not listening. That code doesn't mean replace the valve. It means there is a problem in the circuit that may or may not be caused by the valve. It could also be any of the related wiring, a fuse or the PCM itself. Codes give you specific information about the problem. They do not tell you what part is bad. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional.   Automotive Repair     Auto Body Repair and Refinishing     Heating or AC Issues     Electrical and Wiring     Brake Systems     Car Stereo Repair Advice     General Discussions     Car Making Funny Noises     Engine Fault Codes     Engine Troubles     Exhaust Systems     Steering and Suspension     Transmission Troubles     Tricks of the Trade Automotive World     General Discussions     Antique Car Talk     Car Shows and Events     The Bargin Bin     Motor Vehicle Inspection     Car Care Tips     Traffic Tickets     Gasoline, Motor Oils, Concept Cars and Engines     Auto Insurance, Financing, Leases, Warranties Truck Repair     General Discussions     Truck Engine Repair     Truck Suspension Repair Motorcycle Repair     General Discussions     Motorcycle Engine Repair CarJunky     Open Posting     Board FAQ's     New Board Suggestions
