This code is for the purge valve and is a common cause of failing inspections. They fail as a result of fuel getting into the canister and that charcoal breaks down and causing the solenoid to stick.

Here is a guide that will help with this system:

I attached the testing below for your review on this and so we need to run through this testing to find out what the issue is.

However, I suspect this is a purge valve/solenoid issue so I included the process on how to replace it.

Please let us know what you find with this. Thanks
