VSV On Charcoal Canister On 01 Camry

Jul 02, 2005 0 Replies
01 Camry is displaying check engine. Code read was P0446 Evaporative Emission Control System Vent Control Malfunction. Tech at the dealership says 90% of the time it is a problem with a VSV.

Pulled the VSV from the air filter housing. Ohm reading is what Haynes says it should be and blowing in one end results in air coming from the other. Apply 12vdc and valve clicks. With voltage applied the valve does not pass air.



Pulled the VSV from the charcoal canister which was located behind the fuel tank. Ohm reading is what Haynes says it should be and blowing in one end results in air coming from the other. Apply 12vdc and the valve doesn't make a sound. With voltage applied the valve still passes air.



Have I found the problem? Can this VSV be purchased alone or does it come with the charcoal canister only?



Any help would be appreciated.
