Evaporative Emission (EVAP) Canister Purge Regulator Valve N80, Checking



Evaporative Emission (EVAP) Canister Purge Regulator Valve N80 , Checking (AMB Engine Code)

Special tools, testers and auxiliary items required
- Multimeter.
- Wiring diagram.

Test requirements







- The Evaporative Emission (EVAP) Canister Purge Regulator Valve N80 fuse OK.
- The ignition switched off.

NOTE: Voltage for the Evaporative Emission (EVAP) Canister Purge Regulator Valve N80 is supplied via the Engine Component Power Supply Relay J757.

Procedure







- Remove the engine cover with air filter.







- Disconnect the Evaporative Emission (EVAP) Canister Purge Regulator Valve N80 electrical harness connector - 1 - .

Checking internal resistance







- Using a Multimeter , check the Evaporative Emission (EVAP) Canister Purge Regulator Valve N80 terminals 1 and 2 for resistance.
Specified value: 22.0 to 30.0 Ohms.

If the specified value is not obtained:
- Replace the Evaporative Emission (EVAP) Canister Purge Regulator Valve N80.

If the specification is obtained:

Checking voltage supply







- Using a Multimeter , check the electrical harness connector terminal 1 to 2 for voltage.
- Operate the starter briefly.
Specified value: battery voltage.

If the specified value was not obtained:







- Using a Multimeter, check the electrical harness connector terminal 1 for voltage.

- Operate the starter briefly.
Specified value: battery voltage.

If the specified value is not obtained:
- Check the wiring connection from terminal 2 of Fuel Pump Relay J17 to pin 1 of N80 connector for an open circuit.
- Check the electrical harness connector for damage, corrosion, lose or broken terminals.
- If necessary, repair the wiring connection.

If the specified value was obtained:

Check Ground (GND) activation







- Using a Multimeter , check the electrical harness connector for voltage.

Specified value: 1.5 Ohms max.

If the specification is not obtained:
- Check the wiring for a short circuit to Battery positive (+) or an open circuit.
- Check the wiring for a short circuit to Battery positive (+) or an open circuit.
- If necessary, repair the wiring connection.

If the specification was obtained:
- Replace the Motronic Engine Control Module (ECM) J220.
- Install the engine cover with air filter.

Final procedures
After the repair work, the following work steps must be performed in the following sequence:
1. Check the DTC memory. Diagnostic Mode 03 - Read DTC Memory
2. If necessary, erase the DTC memory. Diagnostic Mode 04 - Erase DTC Memory
3. If the DTC memory was erased, generate readiness code.

- End of diagnosis.
