The purge solenoid is a common failure part, but there is only one correct way to troubleshoot any code, follow the fault tree in the factory service manual to eliminate other possibilities.
A quick test would be to check resistance across the two pins of the solenoid, if the reading is infinite (open) the solenoid is bad.

I'd also check all the vacuum hoses for leakers, disconnected, blockage, etc.
