I'm giving you the location of the Purge switch and valve but be advised that there is no code that tells that valve is bad. It merely indicates an issue it observed in the circuit which may or may not be caused by a faulty valve. It requires further diagnosis to confirm the failure cause.

Take codes with a direction NOT that the part is bad. It's located on top of the canister for fuel vapors and may just have vacuum lines or a plug that isn't sending a signal for several reasons such as wire corroded or who knows?
There's also a solenoid for the purge valve and not sure if code can differentiate.
Do you have any symptoms at all with this?

You're not listening. That code doesn't mean replace the valve. It means there is a problem in the circuit that may or may not be caused by the valve. It could also be any of the related wiring, a fuse or the PCM itself.
Codes give you specific information about the problem. They do not tell you what part is bad.
