PPS Solenoid Valve Inspection


Fig. 20 Solenoid Valve Inspection:





1. Disconnect solenoid wiring connector.
2. Measure resistance between SOL+ and SOL - , Fig. 20.
3. If resistance is not 6-11 ohms, replace solenoid.
4. Check solenoid operation as follows:
a. Connect battery positive terminal to solenoid terminal SOL+.
b. Connect battery ground terminal to solenoid terminal SOL - .
c. Ensure solenoid clicks. Do not apply voltage for more than 30 seconds. If procedure must be repeated, wait until solenoid cools down enough to be able to be touched by hand.
