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






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

Special tools, testers and auxiliary items required

Multimeter.

Wiring diagram.

Test requirements

Fuse (SB12) OK.

The Motronic Engine Control Module (ECM) Power Supply Relay (J271) OK.

The ignition switched off.

Voltage for the Evaporative Emission (EVAP) Canister Purge Regulator Valve (N80) is supplied by the Motronic Engine Control Module (ECM) Power Supply Relay (J271).

Test procedure

- Perform a preliminary check to verify the customers complaint. Refer to => [ Engine Control Module (ECM) (J623), replacing ] Engine Control Module (ECM) (J623).

Start diagnosis

- 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 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 Motronic Engine Control Module (ECM) Power Supply Relay (J271) 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). Refer to => [ Engine Control Module (ECM) (J623), replacing ] 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 a short circuit to Battery positive (+) or an open circuit.

- 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. 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 ] Engine.

- 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). Refer to => [ Engine Control Module (ECM) (J623), replacing ] Engine Control Module (ECM) (J623).

- Assembly is performed in the reverse of the removal.

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 ] Engine.

End of diagnosis
