PPS Solenoid Valve Inspection

1. Disconnect the PPS solenoid connector.





2. Measure the resistance between SOL (+) and SOL (-). The resistance should read between 6 - 11 OHM.
3. Check the PPS solenoid operation by doing the following.





a. Connect the battery positive terminal to the solenoid terminal SOL (+).
b. Connect the battery negative terminal to the solenoid terminal SOL (-).
c. Check that the solenoid makes a 'clicks' sound. If faulty, replace the pressure control valve with the solenoid valve.

NOTE:
^ Do not apply voltage for more than 30 seconds to avoid burning out the solenoid.

^ If repeating this step, wait until the solenoid cools down enough that it can be touched by hand.

4. Connect the PPS solenoid connector.
