Gates PV426 Vapor Canister Purge Solenoid - At Engine

Vapor Canister Purge Solenoid Overview

The Gates PV426 vapor canister purge solenoid restores evaporative emissions control function with a direct replacement design for select Toyota and Scion applications. It is built with durable materials and the correct electrical and hose connections for service replacement.

• Direct replacement vapor canister purge solenoid for emissions system service
• Two hose ports and one oval female connector for proper routing and connection
• Blade terminals with a male terminal design for secure electrical contact
• Constructed for durability and extended service life

Fitment and Application

Compatible with 2006-2012 Toyota RAV4, at engine, and 2006-2010 Scion tC, at engine. This part cross-references Dorman - OE Solutions 911-490 for the same application. The PV426 is also listed with interchange references including PV667 and CP620 for related applications.

How This Part Works

The purge solenoid controls vapor flow from the charcoal canister into the engine intake so the evaporative emission control system can operate correctly. When the original unit sticks, leaks, or fails electrically, the system can lose purge control and trigger drivability or emissions concerns. The Gates PV426 is a practical replacement for restoring normal EVAP operation on the Toyota RAV4 and Scion tC.

Common Issues It Can Address

• Check engine light related to EVAP purge performance
• Fuel vapor control problems in the evaporative emissions system
• Rough idle or drivability issues caused by purge valve malfunction
• Failed emissions inspection tied to purge solenoid faults

Installation Notes

Verify hose routing, connector style, and mounting location before installation. Confirm the replacement matches the original electrical terminal layout and port configuration on the vehicle. After installation, clear diagnostic trouble codes and recheck the evaporative emissions system for proper operation.

Quality Assurance

Gates builds this vapor canister purge solenoid from high-quality materials to support durability and service life. Replacing a worn purge solenoid helps return the evaporative emission control system to proper operation.
