EVAP Canister Purge Regulator Valve, Checking



EVAP Canister Purge Regulator Valve, Checking

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

Test requirements
- Fuse S345 OK.
- The Engine Component Power Supply Relay J757 OK.
- The ignition switched off.

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

Test procedure
- Perform a preliminary check to verify the customers complaint. General Diagnosis

Start diagnosis







- Remove engine cover - arrows -.
- Disconnect the Evaporative Emission (EVAP) Canister Purge Regulator Valve N80 electrical harness connector.

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 Ground (GND) for voltage.
- Operate the starter briefly.

Specified value: battery voltage.

If the specified value is not obtained:
- Check the Evaporative Emission (EVAP) Canister Purge Regulator Valve N80 electrical harness connector terminal 1 to the Engine Component Power Supply Relay J757 terminal 2/87 for an open circuit, short circuit to each other, Battery (+), and Ground (GND).
- Check the electrical harness connector for damage, corrosion, loose or broken terminals.
- If necessary, repair the wiring connection.

If the specified value was obtained:

Checking wiring
If the manufacturers test box is being used. Perform the following step.
- Install the test box.

If the manufacturers test box is not being used. Perform the following step.
- Remove the Engine Control Module (ECM) J623.







- Using a Multimeter , check the Evaporative Emission (EVAP) Canister Purge Regulator Valve N80 electrical harness connector terminal 2 to Engine Control Module (ECM) J623 electrical harness connector T60 terminal 5 for resistance.

Specified value: 1.5 Ohms max.

If the specification is not obtained:
- Check the wiring for an open circuit, short circuit to each other, Battery (+), and Ground (GND).
- Check the electrical harness connector for damage, corrosion, loose or broken terminals.
- If necessary, repair the wiring connection.

If the specification was obtained:
- Erase the DTC memory. Diagnostic Mode 04 - Erase DTC Memory
- Perform a road test to verify repair.

If the DTC does not return:
- Repair complete, Generate readiness code. Monitors, Trips, Drive Cycles and Readiness Codes

- End diagnosis.

If the DTC does return and no malfunction is detected in the wiring and the voltage supply was OK:
- Replace the Engine Control Module (ECM) J623.
- Assembly is performed in the reverse of the removal.

Final procedures
After repair work, the following work steps must be performed in the mentioned 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. Monitors, Trips, Drive Cycles and Readiness Codes

- End of diagnosis
