Description and operation
Purge Control Solenoid Valve (PCSV) is installed on the surge tank and controls
the passage between the canister and the intake manifold. It is a solenoid valve
and is open when the ECM grounds the valve control line. When the passage is open
(PCSV ON), fuel vapor stored in the canister is transferred to the intake manifold.
