Diagnostic Procedures

EVAP Canister Purge Regulator Valve 2, Checking

Solenoid valve is closed when no voltage is present.

Special tools, testers and auxiliary items required

Multimeter (VAG1526) or Multimeter (VAG1715)

Connector test kit (VAG1594)

Wiring diagram

Test Prerequisites

Fuses in E-box (plenum chamber, left) must be OK:





Motronic Engine Control Module (ECM) Power Supply Relay (J271) must be OK, check:

Ground (GND) connections between engine and chassis must be OK.

Ignition switched off.

Test Sequence

- Remove right rear wheelhousing liner.

- Disconnect 2-pin connector from Evaporative Emission (EVAP) Canister Purge Solenoid Valve (N115) (- 1 -).





Checking Resistance

- Measure resistance between terminals of solenoid valve.





Specified value: 15.0 to 35.0 ohms

If specified value is not obtained:

- Replace Evaporative Emission (EVAP) Canister Purge Solenoid Valve (N115).

- Erase DTC memory of Engine Control Module (ECM) , Diagnostic mode 4: Reset/erase diagnostic data.

- Generate readiness code.

If specified value is obtained:

- Check wires.

Wiring, Checking

- Connect test box to control module wiring harness, connect test box for wiring test.

- Check wire between test box socket 45 + 2-pin connector terminal 2 for open circuit according to wiring diagram.





Wire resistance: max. 1.5 ohms

- Also check the wire for short circuit to B+ and Ground (GND).

Specified value: infinite ohms

- Check wire between 2-pin connector terminal 1 and Motronic Engine Control Module (ECM) Power Supply Relay (J271) for open circuit according to wiring diagram.

Wire resistance: max. 1.5 ohms

- Erase DTC memory of Engine Control Module (ECM) , Diagnostic mode 4: Reset/erase diagnostic data.

- Generate readiness code.

If no malfunctions are found in wires:

- Replace Motronic Engine Control Module (ECM) (J220) --> [ Engine Control Module, Replacing ] 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 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.
