Purpose, Function
Introduces evaporative gas absorbed by the charcoal canister to the intake manifold.
The purge solenoid valve opens according to the control signal from the PCM.
Construction
The purge solenoid valve is installed in the engine compartment.

The purge solenoid valve consists of a coil, spring, and plunger.

Operation
According to the control signal from the PCM, the coil is energized and the plunger is operated to open/close the purge solenoid valve.

When the purge solenoid valve is open, evaporative gas flows from the charcoal canister to the intake manifold side.
