Use only gold-plated terminals when servicing any component with gold-plated electrical harness connector terminals.

For wiring diagrams, component locations, and connector views, refer to the applicable wiring diagram.

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.

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

Test procedure

- Perform a preliminary check to verify the customers complaint. Refer to => [ Preliminary Check ] Preliminary Check

Start diagnosis

- Remove the engine cover with air filter. Refer to appropriate service manual.





- 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 the electrical harness connector terminal 1 to the Motronic Engine Control Module (ECM) Power Supply Relay (J271) terminal 2/87 for an open circuit.

- Check the electrical harness connector for damage, corrosion, loose 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.










- Operate the starter briefly.

Specified value: battery voltage.

- Switch the ignition off.

If the specified value was not obtained:

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 Motronic Engine Control Module (ECM) (J623). Refer to appropriate service manual.

- Using a multimeter, check the Evaporative Emission (EVAP) Canister Purge Regulator Valve (N80) electrical connector terminal 2 to Motronic Engine Control Module (ECM) (J623) electrical connector T60 for an open circuit.










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:

- Replace the Motronic Engine Control Module (ECM) (J623). Refer to appropriate service manual.

- Install the engine cover with air filter. Refer to appropriate service manual.

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 Modes 01 - 09.

2. If necessary, erase the DTC memory. Refer to => [ Diagnostic Mode 04 - Erase DTC Memory ] Diagnostic Modes 01 - 09.

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