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 or VAG1551 scan tool
and select control module for engine electronics
using "address word" 01 Page 01
-10
. Ignition
must remain switched on.

- 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

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
