Opening, closing and sealing are different questions
The purge/seal training source describes a normally open vent path connected to the canister. Its role changes when the system is sealed for a test. A component command or sound alone does not establish that the whole path is open or that it seals.
| Question | Evidence to distinguish | Avoid this conclusion |
|---|---|---|
| Can the path vent? | An open command and actual path flow are different evidence. | An open command proves every hose and filter is clear. |
| Can it seal for the test? | Valve movement and sealing performance answer different questions. | A click alone proves a seal. |
| Is this the right component guide? | The vehicle’s system description must identify a controlled vent solenoid. | The Dart ESIM case has this same layout. |
