Carbon canister-purge solenoid (models with catalytic converter) - removal and refitting

2 Disconnect the battery negative lead.
3 Disconnect the solenoid wiring plug halves by releasing the locktabs and pulling on the plug halves, not the wiring.
4 Note the locations of the two solenoid pipes, and the orientation of the solenoid, to assist with refitting.
5 Disconnect the two pipes from the solenoid, and withdraw the solenoid from its location.
6 Refitting is a reversal of removal. Ensure that the solenoid pipes are correctly reconnected, and that the solenoid is correctly orientated, as noted before removal.
