https://stream.echo6.co/videos/watch/f6c7296f-0f00-4a94-b305-fadfde37f309 This is a great review of section 3 material in my book, specifically about testing a ground side switched solenoid. I kept it simple this time, doing all my circuit checks with just a digital multimeter and test light. Remember that all the methods shown can be successfully applied to ANY ground side switched output. Engine Performance Diagnostics chapter 3 pages 2 - 19 Symptoms check engine light (P0443 and P0455), Fix replacing the purge solenoid, Tests shown how to find the evaporative emissions purge solenoid by following fuel supply lines, how to safely T-pin a computer controlled output, testing a ground side switched solenoid with a digital multimeter and test light, using a bi-directional test to confirm control circuit and driver integrity, Tools used scan tool, digital multimeter, LED test light, Playlist (Chapter 3) Transistors, Solenoids, Computer Controlled Output Testing https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLE9BA8CBD51B8C48E, Related videos How to test a computer transistor driver (with a scan tool) https://youtu.be/MOSH8XLKrLc, How to test a computer transistor driver (without a scan tool) https://youtu.be/8FnYllf5D9E, How to test a computer controlled solenoid (energizing the circuit manually) https://youtu.be/ZEYMg-7J1dg, How to test a fuel injector circuit with a noid light (a ScannerDanner Premium video) https://youtu.be/FAipVwCdwSQ, How to test a computer controlled solenoid - power/ground side identification https://youtu.be/kQz3g4HIWgs, For more information on this topic, I have written a “field manual” called Engine Performance Diagnostics which is available at www.scannerdanner.com as an eBook or paper book.
