That is how I approach automotive issues.
The "EVAP" system is not complex but access to many of the components is the real issue.
From the code description you gave it sounds like the purge valve is stuck (open??) or there is an issue with the wiring to the purge valve.
I think the purge valve is in the wheel well behind the wheel well liner in the area of the fuel filler.... neck but I am not positive.

The phrase "open circuit" is referring to the electrical circuit, indication of either no power or no ground.
