What is the working principle of the carbon canister solenoid valve?

The working principle of the carbon canister solenoid valve is that the carbon canister purge solenoid valve controls the purge function of the carbon canister through the modulation of electrical pulse width. Relevant information is as follows: 1. Liquid: The carbon canister is generally installed between the gasoline tank and the engine. Since gasoline is a volatile liquid, the fuel tank is often filled with vapor at normal temperature. The function of the fuel evaporation emission control system is to introduce the vapor into combustion and prevent it from volatilizing into the atmosphere. The activated carbon canister storage device plays an important role in this process. 2. Specific: The ECU computer, based on different operating conditions of the engine, connects or disconnects the grounding circuit of the solenoid valve at a certain frequency. The ECU computer controls the vacuum of the purge carbon canister by operating a normally closed solenoid valve.
I've been repairing cars for years and know the charcoal canister solenoid valve inside out. Essentially, it's a computer-controlled valve installed between the charcoal canister and the engine. When the vehicle is turned off, fuel vapors are absorbed by the activated carbon in the canister to prevent environmental pollution. Upon engine start, the ECU monitors conditions like temperature and RPM, then signals the solenoid valve to open when appropriate. This allows vapors to flow into the intake manifold for combustion, reducing harmful emissions and saving fuel. Common issues I encounter include stuck valves causing rough idling or triggering the check engine light. Replacement isn't complicated, but requires using a multimeter to check circuit continuity. Regular maintenance prevents many problems. Given the high-temperature engine bay environment accelerates aging, I recommend inspecting this component periodically, especially as vehicles accumulate mileage.
