Test requirements

The fuse for the Evaporative Emission (EVAP) Canister Purge Regulator Valve (N80) OK.

The ignition switched off.

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. Refer to => [ Readiness Code ] Readiness Code.

Start diagnosis

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

- Check the electrical harness connector for damage, corrosion, lose or broken terminals.

Checking internal resistance

- Using the Multimeter, check the resistance between the terminals of the Evaporative Emission (EVAP) Canister Purge Regulator Valve (N80).

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).

Checking voltage supply

If the specification is obtained:

- Using the Multimeter, check the electrical harness connector terminal 1 to 2 for voltage.





- Operate the starter briefly.

Specified value: approx. battery voltage

If there is no voltage:

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





- Operate the starter briefly.

Specified value: approx. battery voltage

If there is no voltage again:

- Turn key off.

- Check the wiring connection from the electrical harness connector terminal 1 to the Leak Detection Pump (LDP) (-V144-) terminal 3 for an open circuit according to wiring diagram.

Specified value: Wire resistance max 1.5 ohms.

- If necessary, repair the wiring connection.

If the voltage supply is OK:

Check Ground (GND) activation

- Using the Multimeter , check the electrical harness connector for resistance.









Specified value: approx. < 10 ohms.

If the specified value is not obtained:

- Using a Multimeter , check the following wire connection for open circuit.









Specified value: Wire resistance max 1.5 ohms.

Specification: 0 ohms.

If the specification is not obtained:

- Check the wiring for a short circuit to Battery positive (+) or an open circuit.

- If necessary, repair the wiring connection.

- Erase the DTC memory. Refer to => [ Diagnostic Mode 04 - Erase 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. Refer to => [ Readiness Code ] Readiness Code.

- End diagnosis.

If the DTC does return and no malfunction is detected in the wiring and the voltage supply was OK:

- Replace the Motronic Engine Control Module (ECM) (J623). Refer to => [ Motronic Engine Control Module, Replacing ] Motronic Engine Control Module, Replacing.

Final procedures

After the repair work, the following work steps must be performed in the following sequence:

1. Check the DTC memory. Refer to => [ Diagnostic Mode 03 - Read DTC Memory ] Diagnostic Mode 03 - Read DTC Memory.

2. If necessary, erase the DTC memory. Refer to => [ Diagnostic Mode 04 - Erase DTC Memory ] Diagnostic Mode 04 - Erase DTC Memory.

3. If the DTC memory was erased, generate readiness code. Refer to => [ Readiness Code, Setting ] Readiness Code, Setting.

End of diagnosis.
