Testing for leaks

ACF solenoid valve -N80 remains closed when deenergised.

Disconnect hoses from ACF valve but leave the electrical connector plugged in.
Connect auxiliary hose to one connection of ACF valve.

Connect vehicle diagnostic, testing and information system VAS 5051 and select engine control unit 1 using "address word" 01 => Page
01-9
.
For this purpose, the ignition must be switched on.
Initiate final control diagnosis and actuate ACF solenoid valve -N80 =>Page

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

If the injector does not click:

Checking internal resistance to ACF valve.

If valve does not open or close properly:

Replace solenoid valve for activated charcoal filter -N80.

Checking internal resistance

Unplug connector on ACF valve.

Connect multimeter between contacts 1 and 2 on valve to measure resistance.
Specified value: 22 ... 30 ω

If specification is not attained:

Replace solenoid valve for activated charcoal filter -N80.

If specified value is attained:

Check the voltage supply =>Page

Checking power supply

Test requirements:

Fuse for ACF valve OK.

=> Current Flow Diagrams, Electrical Fault-finding and Fitting Locations binder

Fuel pump relay OK.

Note:

The ACF valve receives its power supply via the fuel pump relay.

Unplug connector on ACF valve.

Connect voltage tester V.A.G 1527 B as follows:

Connector / Contact · Measure to
1 · Engine earth

Operate the starter briefly (the engine may start).
The LED should illuminate.

If the LED does not illuminate:

Check the wiring from contact 1 on the connector via the fuse to the fuel pump relay for an open circuit:

=> Current Flow Diagrams, Electrical Fault-finding and Fitting Locations binder

Rectify open circuit, if necessary.

If the LED illuminates:

Check actuation.

Checking actuation

Connect voltage tester V.A.G 1527 B to contacts 1 (positive) and 2 of the connector.
Initiate final control diagnosis and actuate ACF solenoid valve -N80 =>Page

.
The LED should flash.

If the LED lamp does not flash or if it illuminates continuously:

Connect test box V.A.G 1598/31 to wiring harness for engine control unit 1; do not connect the engine control unit => Page
24-31
.

Check for open circuit and short to positive or earth in the following wiring connection:

Connector / Contact · Test box V.A.G 1598/31 / Socket
2 · 64

Rectify any open/short circuit as necessary.

If the wiring is OK:
