Checking for proper seal  
      When there is no current, the Evaporative 
Emission (EVAP) canister purge regulator valve -
N80- is closed.  
     
-  Disconnect hoses from EVAP valve; harness 
connector remains connected. 
     
-  Attach assisting hose to one connection of 
EVAP valve. 
     
- Connect VAS5051 tester   Page 01
-7 and 
select vehicle system "01 - Engine electronics". 
Ignition must remain switched on for this. 
     
-  Initiate output DTM and activate Evaporative 
Emission (EVAP) canister purge regulator valve 
-N80-  Page 01

       If valve does not click:  
     
-  Check internal resistance of EVAP valve.
      If valve does not open or close properly:  
     
-  Replace Evaporative Emission (EVAP) canister 
purge regulator valve -N80-. 
     
Checking internal resistance  
     
-  Disconnect connector at EVAP valve.
    
If specified value is not obtained:  
If specified value is obtained:  -  Connect multimeter at valve for resistance measurement.
 
Specification: 22 to 30 
-  Replace Evaporative Emission (EVAP) canister purge regulator valve -
N80-. 
-  Check voltage supply   Page 24

Note:  
     Voltage is supplied to the EVAP valve via the 
Fuel Pump (FP) relay. 
     
-  Disconnect connector at EVAP valve.
    
-  Connect VAG1527B voltage tester as follows:Harness connector  
Terminal  
Measure to  
1   Engine Ground (GND)  
-  Operate starter briefly (engine can also start).
 
LED must light up.

connector to Fuel Pump (FP) relay via fuse for 
open circuit: 
     
       Electrical Wiring Diagrams, Troubleshooting & 
Component Locations        
-  Repair open circuit if necessary.
      If LED lights up:  
     
- Checking activation.
     
Checking activation  
    
-  Connect VAG1527B voltage tester to connector terminals 1 (B+) and 2.
-  Initiate output DTM and activate Evaporative Emission (EVAP) canister 
purge regulator valve -N80-   Page 01
