Howdy everyone.
Well after my 9 hour battle to install, troubleshoot, finally figure out the problem and get my R/S running last weekend, I am left with a nicely functioning R/S just in time for abnormally warm temps, and a CEL with P0443 and P0449 being reported. The R/S install had me turn the key to ON and START more times than I care to admit, along with testing the starter by jumping the 30/87 pins at the relay connection in the engine bay fuse box, so I am concerned that I may have ruined both the purge valve solenoid and the vent valve solenoid.
I've looked around and found the many posts regarding these issues but before I start testing wire continuity and throwing parts at it, I wanted to see if there was another way to be sure it's not just a lingering issue from my R/S install that might be resolved by pulling the battery, or a specific method while wiping the codes with Torque. I had checked all fuses when I was troubleshooting the R/S install and everything checked out but I plan to check again. I had wiped the codes but it was while I was coasting in traffic earlier, so wondering if wiping while engine is off and then starting and driving might be more effective.
Short of that working, I guess I will test the circuits and then replace the solenoids.
TIA.
