Testing for leaks
When there is no electrical supply, solenoid valve remains closed.
- Disconnect hoses from EVAP canister purge regulator valve but leave electrical connector plugged in.
- Connect auxiliary hose to one connection of EVAP canister purge regulator valve.
- Connect testing and information system VAS5051 and select vehicle system "01 - Engine electronics" in selection. Ignition must be switched on.
- Initiate final control diagnosis and activate EVAP canister purge regulator valve -N80-.

- The valve should click...
- ... and should open and close (check by blowing into the auxiliary hose).

- Press square -button to end function "03 - Final Control Diagnosis" [also known as Output Diagnosis Test Mode (DTM)].

If valve does not open and close properly:
- Replace EVAP canister purge regulator valve -N80-.

If the injector does not click:

Checking internal resistance
- Disconnect connector on EVAP canister purge regulator valve.







- Connect multimeter to injector to measure resistance.

Specified value: 22 to 30 Ohms

If specification is not obtained:
- Replace Evaporative Emission (EVAP) canister purge regulator valve -N80-.
